Qasim Smith argues that 'abliterating' cyber safeguards may not just boost offensive cyber capability but could degrade a model's judgment and restraint in biology, chemistry, and weapons domains—effects too poorly understood to treat guardrail removal as harmless. Andrea Michi responds that while more powerful defensive cyber models are welcome, the path shouldn't be building generally misaligned models.
