This is a frustrating article - it provides no new information at all to support the claim that it was "never about a jailbreak".

I suspect there's more to the story than has been reported too, but I'd like information to help turn those suspicions into something more concrete.

Yes, this is just an even shorter rehash of what has been said several times now.

I feel like this headline is a bit over-stated. There is not a ton of evidence it was about a jailbreak, and neither was there evidence that is was about retribution.

I think this is pretty low quality content for HN.

TechCrunch articles should be ignored into oblivion.

Ok, we've moved the comments thither, except the ones that are only relevant to current article.

I don't see how more advanced models won't get gated to specific known KYC'd entities. Classification-style guardrails will never be sufficient. Distillation attacks too are really hard to prevent. Open-source models can have their guardrails easily stripped away so it'll be incredibly dangerous to continue to release more and more capable OSS models that can and will be used to give bad actors 100x leverage.
