They relaxed rules a lot over time.

Start of the year: I asked Claude to explain me the leaked Pokemon Emerald codebase,he refused no matter what I tried.

Fast forward today: I asked it to take the codebase and aim for web browsers, it didn't even complain, just did it.

Having the codebase for newer models is a key for approvals.

yeah beginning of the year Claude would refuse to help me with homebrewing beer because it relates to biology (yeast)

It was always OK with most things I asked until the whole Mythos freakout but nowadays they have silently pulled the classifiers way back, really now bio is more gatekept than cyber stuff. From what I have read so long as you have the models do the decompilation/disassembly using an MCP so they aren't hunting through the actual binaries by hand (that can freak them out) once you get the decompiled code they don't complain at all.

For me it's the opposite. "Take a look at this WER dump and combine with these pdb files, try to figure out where the software crashes"

"Sorry, I can't help with exploit weaponization Dave"
