Meh, I think the safety concerns are overblown. It's really more of bad PR for Microsoft than an actual threat.
You can already find out how to make drugs, build a bomb, etc from the internet. The Anarchist Cookbook has been well-known for decades and you can find a pdf with a simple google search.

Yes, 100% agree. This "can we coerce the model into saying something bad" is just a game that journalists play to catastrophize new technology and juice their engagement metrics. There's bad stuff on the internet, too, and you can find it with search engines. We still use search engines because they're incredibly useful.
The embarrassing part is that Google was so afraid of these BS stories that they kept LaMDA stuck in a warehouse for over two years while OpenAI and Microsoft lapped them.
