The due diligence not being done is people putting cats in microwaves. It‘s not the dangerous part. The real danger is risk assessments coming to wrong conclusions, because it is still terra incognita. Talented engineers were in this situation before, doing mistakes with cars, airplanes, buildings etc.

No, I'm sorry but I think thats a cop out. The fact that LLM are stochastic and can give incorrect answers is not particularly difficult to comprehend, and the risks that fall out of that are reasonably understandable. The issue is entirely down to bad choices by the people driving LLMs, because they are engaging with what they wish LLMs do instead of what they actually do.
