Therefore, if you want to argue against the conclusion that we should eventually ban open source LLMs on the grounds of biorisk, you should not rely on the poor capabilities of current models as your key premise.
Just to be clear, the above is not what I would write if I were primarily trying to argue against banning future open source LLMs for this reason. It is (more) meant to be my critique of the state of the argument—that people are basically just not providing good evidence on for banning them, are confused about what they are saying, that they are pointing out things that would be true in worlds where open source LLMs are perfectly innocuous, etc, etc.
