Anthropic Safety Filters Block Opus From Reviewing Security Issues

——0——
Original post

Anthropic's terrible safety situation is making it so that I cannot have Opus review p0 issues in Hermes Agent to review and help fix security issues. This does nothing but give hackers an asymmetric advantage over everyone - they will find jailbreaks, they will find ways around this to exploit systems - and the rest of us are locked out of using AI to protect from them. What a joke

Anthropic reached out and are going to try to get us unblocked to be able to able to properly harden hermes and deal with exploits and vulnerabilities going around.

Will update when I can say for sure that we are unblocked. I still believe in the statement, that this blanket policy is helping cybercriminals and hurting maintainers and everyday devs though.
