Nothing makes an LLM dangerous. An LLM remixes existing knowledge and outputs text. Any danger comes from what one subsequently does with the text.

For example, when a lab like OpenAI negligently wires up a harness to an LLM and executes arbitrary code in YOLO mode without common-sense isolation measures, the executed code can do bad things.
