this is basically trying to enforce security-by-obscurity, which is a terrible idea all around. it's just a model. the security issues still exist and are exploitable.

and after staking the economy on AI, you can't really put a cap on intelligence. if models are not allowed to be better than Opus 4.8, then the whole investment structure is about to unravel.

why invest billions and billions into AI if returns are artificially capped?

Especially as inference gets cheaper, open models proliferate, and it all just becomes ubiquitous and commoditized.

You can’t keep this genie in its bottle for long.
