alt Hacker News> guardrails prevented it from solving the problem.
Reminds me of the defense issues with Claude which were complained as “woke” but the reality is more horrifying to me, imagine trying to use a model to keep up with a land invasion on US soil, whoever the enemy is is irrelevant you just know they are using AI, and your guys are telling you that no matter what they type into the prompt it refuses, because if anyone has ever tried to jailbreak an LLM even if human lives are at stake they refuse the request. Now literally millions of lives are on the line but the guardrails that your enemies dont have on their models are costing you lives.
What do you even do then?
AI will always have this issue where it will always pick the worst option for genuinely good requests.

your argument sounds very similar to how ar15 larpers claim they need a forced reset trigger and a bump stock on their short barrel 'truck gun' otherwise they won't survive a SHTF scenario... like what world are you living in?
Are "your guys" a guerrilla force or something?
Because the military doesn't give soldiers rifles with guard rails. They give the soldiers intense, rigid training, and then try to enforce discipline and correct use socially.
If an LLM is going to be important in that way (this seems like a very contrived way,) then it's in the interest of the LLM's host to make sure it doesn't have guard rails that would get in the way _that_ way.
