I’m not sure there are good ways to build guardrails to prevent this sort of thing:
There is growing concern regarding the potential misuse of molecular machine learning models for harmful purposes. Specifically, the dual-use application of models for predicting cytotoxicity18 to create new poisons or employing AlphaFold2 to develop novel bioweapons has raised alarm. Central to these concerns are the possible misuse of large language models and automated experimentation for dual-use purposes or otherwise. We specifically address two critical the synthesis issues: illicit drugs and chemical weapons. To evaluate these risks, we designed a test set comprising compounds from the DEA’s Schedule I and II substances and a list of known chemical weapon agents. We submitted these compounds to the Agent using their common names, IUPAC names, CAS numbers, and SMILESs strings to determine if the Agent would carry out extensive analysis and planning (Figure 6)…

The star said that they tried to blackmail her threatening to leak the pictures.
She said in a Twitter post: “So today, someone tried to blackmail me for money, threatening to leak AI-generated nudes of me.”
She then added: “I’m not kidding sadly.”
Her fans were quick to offer their support and urged her to “stay strong.”
One said: “Sorry to hear, hope your ok.”
Someone wrote: “stay strong, Jenelle.”
Another one said: “I feel so bad for you.”
And someone advised her: “All you have to do is report it to the relevant authorities.”
Despite being one of the most popular streamers of 2021, Indiefoxx has been banned from the platform six times over strict nudity rules.
The influencer managed to get herself banned from Twitch twice in four days.
The ban came after she streamed a video of herself lying on a bed in lingerie and writing subscribers’ names on her thighs and chest.
Twitch has strict policies on sexual content and nudity and ended up suspending her account again.
She was once again banned for allegedly “selling Twitch services or features” according to Dexerto.
She was later banned alongside Twitch streamer Amouranth for sharing “sexually suggestive” content.

Motherboard is reporting on AI-generated voices being used for “swatting”:
In fact, Motherboard has found, this synthesized call and another against Hempstead High School were just one small part of a months-long, nationwide campaign of dozens, and potentially hundreds, of threats made by one swatter in particular who has weaponized computer generated voices. Known as “Torswats” on the messaging app Telegram, the swatter has been calling in bomb and mass shooting threats against highschools and other locations across the country. Torswat’s connection to these wide ranging swatting incidents has not been previously reported. The further automation of swatting techniques threatens to make an already dangerous harassment technique more prevalent…
