This decision is potentially fatal. You need symmetric capability to research and prevent attacks in the first place.
The opposite approach is 'merely' fraught.
They're in a bit of a bind here.

Now we have to trick the models when you legitimately work in the security space.
Questions about "fatality" aside, where do you see asymmetry here?
I am absolutely moving off them if this continues to be the case.
Oh don't worry. They have Mythos and the extremely dystopian-named "helpful only" series which is internal only and can do all the things.
Only software approved by Anthropic (and/or the USG) is allowed to be secure in this brave new era.
I agree with you here. I think this is for product placement for Mythos.
