@kini@maro.xyz @ikesau@micro.ikesau.co So wouldnt this line of thinking allow one to create an LLM to do terrorism, sell it and not be liable for the terrorism that follows?
This is the same argument as "the fossil fuel companies are not responsible for the greenhouse gas that customers burn, they're only responsible for the ghg they produce when extracting the fossil fuel. Who knows what they do with this fossil fuel! ", no?
Creator of the LLM = fossil fuel company
making bombs or hacking companies = greenhouse gas
Operator of the LLM = people who buy gas so they can burn it

@res260@infosec.exchange @ikesau@micro.ikesau.co For the sake of brevity I omitted this case but no, If you go and say "I'll make a really evil LLM" then of course you're liable. The law is already pretty clear on this. If you create an LLM for the specific purpose of doing something illegal, terrorism is even more serious, then you don't even need to actually have committed any attacks to be held responsible.
