Whilst I see the appeal of LLMs that unquestioningly do as they're told, universal access to uncensored models would be a terrible thing for society.

Right now if a troubled teenager decides they want to ruin everyone's day, we get a school shooting. Imagine if instead we got homebrew biological weapons. Imagine if literally anyone could produce and distribute bespoke malware, or improvise explosive devices.

All of those things could happen in principle, but in practice there are technical barriers that the majority of people just can't surmount.
