What will happen is that this tech will advance, and regular joes will have access to the "TERRIFYING" unaligned models - and nothing will happen.
This stuff isn't magic. Wannabe Ted Kaczynski will ask BasedGPT how to build bombs , it will tell them, and nothing will happen because building bombs and detonating them and not getting caught is REALLY HARD.
The limiting factor for those seeking wanton destruction is not a lack of know-how, but a lack of talent/will. Do we get ~1-4 new mass shootings a year? Seems reasonable but doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. (That's like, what, a day of driving fatalities?)
Unaligned publicly available powerful AI ("Open" AI, one might say) is a net good. The sooner we get an AI that will tell us how to cook meth and make nuclear bombs, the better.
