But they're not actively handicapping it. They're saying it would be wildly irresponsible to assume it's "otherwise capable".
And very critically: they have taken zero steps to "actively handicap" it in any way.
Wanting veto power in execution is functionally the same as actively handicapping it, regardless of how implemented.
The Claude they sell to me seems quite actively handicapped when I ask it questions about cyber security or biology.
