It’s not even a jail break, it’s literally what anyone wants from a coding assistant. Is the coding assistant supposed to see vulnerabilities and intentionally leave them be? Maybe add them randomly just to double plus good its inability to see any security issues?

This isn’t about security holes or risks, it’s about retribution and picking the winners and losers, and probably a large amount of self dealing as the family and cabinet are probably more long OpenAI. The absurdity of the actual reasons leave no other doubt than they are an administration of sycophantic mental gnats with no restraint, which frankly is a pretty plausible counter.

What it has done though is cracked the value proposition of semiconductors by demonstrating there is a maximum size and capability the government will allow the plebes. The PV of ever larger models requiring ever more capacity has probably dropped by more than 30% after this.

The cynic in me thinks its an extension of the NSA having long ago switched from being defensively helpful to US companies, to deliberately introducing backdoors and issues that they can exploit.
