> I would expect there are still refusals for queries like "how do I build a bomb"

I remember asking my grandpa how to build a bomb, and he stopped; didn't even ask why. He just asked me: "what do you think a bomb is?" He turned it into a teaching moment that _anything_ can be a bomb. All you need is pressure inside a container that the container cannot hold. That's it. You can make non-deadly bombs with some random off-the-shelf components (soap and tinfoil IIRC) that were a ton of fun...

eventually, we were building explosives near the level of TNT in my neighbor's cow pasture, but that was years later. I suspect that things would have evolved differently in an urban environment, but these AIs and the people who make them think nobody needs a bomb to clear out a stupid rock formation.

More importantly, you can answer the question in a way that nobody gets hurt and people can learn and do things.

That's a great point and what a brilliant grandpa you had.
