There are both practical and ethical grounds that line up so rarely.

The “operator” is a person, the LLM is an appliance. If you tell your smart chainsaw to kill your neighbor? We have laws for that. In fact, on computers, they’re really hardcore. Hurting people is generally illegal: and I definitely don’t need a lesson on that from FUCKING Silicon Valley. We want to start with the child labor or the more domestic RICO shit.

Truthful Q&A type benchmarks correlate a lot with coding-adjacent tasks: euphemism is a lose in engineering.

Instruct-tune these things and be whatever “common carrier” means now.
