What if you were to have say a government on the verge of going full authoritarian mode, who is obsessed with being perceived as the best at everything, that also has a history of bombing anything they feel like, and sticking their noses in everyone’s border disputes? Couldn’t that government then use this as the perfect tool to justify horrible actions while obsfucating where decisions are coming from?
Like yeah the takeaway is in part “LLM does what we tell it to” but also I think the safety part is “scary data in scary actions out”. That is a very risky potential feedback loop to allow into government decisions especially when coming from a system with no regard to humanity.
