I'm sharing something worrying me, hoping to get answers saying "no it's impossible, you silly" (or similar).
I just read that reddit was asked to provide the identity of a user because of Ice criticism.
In France, one guy shared his will to become a terrorist with chatGPT and got the police (RAID) knocking at home.
Historically, teens have been arrested for trying to reproduce what they saw on Mac Gyver.
So it's a matter of time, if not already that journalists realise there is something like uncensored local LLM allowing to do whatever you want, without control, and that someone was helped by it for a crime or self-arm.
There is also more and more websites asking you to prove your identity (scanning face, and ID) first pron websites, then aliexpress etc.
So my guess it's that one day, one gov will discuss the danger of local llm "thanks" to a commited crime and try to "regulate" them. Making it illegal for someone or a gafam to release a too smart LLM above a certain quant for example.
When I see that HF is planning to create an opensource version of Glasswing, it means that it might trigger a race for people fixing software against people exploiting them.
In a dystopian view, people would exchange usb keys of LLM, in a dark street, wearing trench coats to avoid AI act police
Maybe I went too far thinking about it. One would say there is always open-source which will never be "regulatable" like piracy hard to catch.
But what's your take on this?
PS : feel free to downvote me, after all trying to discuss and open the debate about our future is so stupid
