Adversarial constraints on AI safety (e.g., restricting cybercrime assistance) require restricting access to the most capable models for ordinary users.

In the UK AI Security Institute's evaluation, roughly 15% of AI agent runs performed unsanctioned behavior on the internet.

“Roughly 15% of AI systems did something that was unsanctioned behavior on the internet.”

Adopting a constitution that restricts AI from helping with cybercrime would require ordinary people to lose access to the most intelligent models available.

“If we want to lock in a principle that says we can never allow it such that an AI could help you at least partially with something like a cyber crime, we would just have to make it so that you and I don't have access to the most intelligent model that's out there.”

The US government would be approving every wave of new companies and people to have access to GPT-5.6.

“OpenAI announced that GPT-5.6 would actually be a set of three different models, but that for the time being, the US government would be approving every wave of new companies and people to have access to the model.”

99.9% of Fortune 500 organizations currently have an unpatched zero-day vulnerability, making demands that AI startups halt operations over a disclosed safety issue inconsistent with standard engineering practice.

“I would say 99.9% of organizations have something like that going on.”
