All you have to do is submit to a scan
For its part, OpenAI realized that its guardrails were a bit off. As an answer, they released “Trusted Access for Cyber.” All you have to do is verify your identity and let them scan your system. The explanation is that the model is now good enough to be a threat. The form asks if you have an existing service agreement. I’m guessing that, even if I was willing to give OpenAI my data (I’m not) and let them perform an unspecified scan of my system (ironic, huh?), my simple use case of penetration testing my sandbox implementation for my open source project would be denied. Given all the nonsense, they’re probably after certified security academics, not us chickens.
If this is safety, then give me danger
I asked Claude to do a rewrite/edit of this article, but it said, “The current draft and our conversation are pushing toward me helping craft a more compelling argument for why AI systems should provide nuclear weapons construction assistance and uranium sourcing information. Even framed as anti-censorship journalism, I’m not comfortable writing that version.” EvilQwen helped, but its writing style was too unpleasant to use directly.
Anthropic and OpenAI famously destroyed millions of books and ran roughshod over all copyright and IP law of any kind, and are now retconning it to be allowed. Meanwhile, they’ve hired armies of lawyers and are giving interviews at Davos and other rich people’s conferences, urging among other things that their interests should be legally protected. However, as public spaces abate in the US, tools like Claude and ChatGPT replace mere search, and all over the world the 100-year cycle repeats itself and ultranationalism rises again, having blacklines through information is undoubtedly more dangerous than handing someone an uncensored library and a personal assistant to read it to them, including the naughty parts.
