That’s somewhat true – it’s not easy but not hard enough, as we saw with the Aum Shinrikyo attacks – but an LLM won’t magically have access to non-public instructions and, not having an understanding of the underlying principles, won’t be able to synthesize a safe process from public information.

Eh that is up for debate. If I dump a library of chemistry books and industry books on chemistry and volatile chemicals its distinctly possible the model could generate this data.

Not without some kind of understanding of the underlying principles. If you were testing something verifiable in code you might be able to test candidates at scale, but this involves a number of real-world processes which would be hard to tackle that way.
