You know what would be a great way to teach this. Just make up an info hazard type event.
Tabletop war game it. Say the thing is called a mome rath and it’s anti-memetic or something(Go read worth the candle). Have the experts explain how they would treat the problem, and use that as a guide for how to interact with info hazards.
Maybe I am focused on the government piece of this but there’s probably damaging information that would hurt national security if it got out. That’s why we have classification systems in place. If we can’t even have the experts talk about it, then we need to really think about why that is and give them a softball to explain it. (Then think about why they’re thinking this, etc.)
Look, there is a risk. We just need to be able to explain it so that people don’t go looking at the door of forbidden knowledge thinking, “I really need to know everything in there.” When really what is behind the door is just a bunch of formulas that the current batch of 3d printers know not to make.
Counterpoint: make it boring and now one will be interested. Instead if Rokos Basilisk, think of calling it IRS-CP Form 23A.
