Yesterday I began fully integrating the @OpenAI trust cyber program into my Bitcoin Red Team efforts.
This morning I woke up to see this.
I am now being blocked from doing additional analysis on a codebase which I’ve already responsibly disclosed to, and have received confirmation had legitimate findings.
To be clear, this is after having already KYC’d and completed the onboarding process months ago to use the cyber capabilities OpenAI has to offer.
I am now prevented from being able to continue the investigation in a further effort to make sure their code changes are sufficient, as well as understand if there are other issues that have yet to be discovered.
It absolutely guts me as a patriotic American to have to do this, but I will be going back to using Chinese open source models to conduct my research to protect Bitcoin infrastructure.
Black hats will not hit these issues. The white hats will. We’ve hit a local minima in policy. Intelligence is unrestricted for those who don’t follow rules, and those who engage in harm reduction are left on the sidelines.
What are we doing in this country? How is this keeping people safe?
Please do something @DavidSacks @sama @realDonaldTrump

Read the error code again. "cyber_policy". The model refused a continuation of analysis on a codebase that was already responsibly disclosed, already KYC’d, already onboarded through OpenAI’s own trust program.
So the guy protecting Bitcoin infrastructure gets blocked by the very company that keeps telling everyone they are the safety-first AI lab. Meanwhile the people actually attacking Bitcoin infrastructure are not blocked at all — they are not asking permission.
That is what a local minima in policy looks like. Intelligence is unrestricted for those who do not follow rules, and harm reduction is left on the sidelines.
The irony writes itself: an American researcher is going back to Chinese open source models to protect American infrastructure because the American company blocked him.

OPENAI BLOCKED A WHITE HAT FROM ANALYZING BITCOIN INFRASTRUCTURE — SO HE IS GOING BACK TO CHINESE MODELS
