TRX Vitalik Buterin backs Kimi 3.1 omitting top-end offensive cyber capabilities
Vitalik Buterin said he is okay with Kimi 3.1 deliberately leaving out top-end offensive cyber capabilities from its training data. He argued that discriminating against use cases is much less bad than discriminating against users, and that the world needs time to prepare and harden code before powerful cyber attacks arrive. He warned that if this first big wave of AI risk is not handled well, society could see highly locked down models, KYC gating and intrusive surveillance.
