How did people read this action in such a weird ultra me centric way? Distillation is such a big problem that distill attempts make up a significant share of their revenue (!).

A distilled model can be used to rob your grandma in a highly effective way. This isn't about placing a few business-logic rules in JS + CSS on your website anymore. Wake up.

A distilled model with an easy jailbreak can be used to coordinate terrorist attacks or hostile state operations... think Russia, North Korea, and the like.

a trained model can do that too.

you dont even need a model to do these things.

a cellphone can be used to rob your grandmother in a highly effective way.

a cellphone can also be used to coordinate terrorist attacks or hostile state operations.

i bet a lot of the recent terror attacks by the US against iran involved a whole ton of cell phone calls.

and yet, we let everyone buy and use cell phones just fine

Imagine if your IDE started injecting bugs into your project just because your code looked like it implemented a competing IDE.
how is that related. It downgrade it to opus 4.8 #2 most capable model after claude 5. for a vast majority of topics it will not downgrade. I've been using it for 2 days to talk about architecture etc. and it was absolutely great with no downgrades.
that is not the downgrade they were doing
