I agree that this should be something that researchers reflect on. GPT-2 is one of the primary models to research on nowadays, and many recent developments have come from studying it as a test bench.

Imagine if CRISPR was considered "too dangerous" to publish because of the potential ethical ramifications, and that only a special few should be aware. It is utter self-righteousness, and it is shameful behaviour. The world cannot adjust itself to what it cannot see, so you risk greater catastrophe by keeping it secret.

The open dissemination of knowledge at every increment is the only way for society to truly deal with what is to come.
