Interesting, is this a recent model? I am literally RE-ing commercial software live with the classic Opus 4.8 as I type this, no refusals and happily made a PoC which could easily be used for (physical) harm if used by the wrong person.
Of course, I had to assuage the clankers fears by setting up a fake scenario before sending the one-shot, but I assume everyone does that nowadays.
This was Opus 5.5, with a task that substantially overlaps with defeating the anti-cheat of an AAA publisher.
Local and open source models are more important than ever, or those who control the hardware will dictate what AI can or cannot be used for.
