This topic was covered a bit on the pod cast, but thought it needed a deeper look. I think the trusted access for cyber idea could be a real benefit for a lot of users. Feel free to AMA.

The TAC framing finally solves the thing every defender has complained about. You own the box, validating your own patch, and the model blocks you because your tokens look identical to an attacker's. It was never reading your intentions. Just your shape. Vet the human, not the prompt. Simple idea. Took thirty years.

The water utility with one overworked IT guy getting the same tooling as a Fortune 500 SOC is the part nobody's talking about. That's where the real damage happens.

Just don't forget, a lower refusal boundary on a verified account makes that account the most interesting target in the room.

Children, safety, fraud prevention, national security. Always a good reason. The face scan is always the same. OpenAI needs yours for trusted cyber access. Anthropic needs yours for age verification, fraud appeals, and keeping Fable away from foreigners. Three noble causes, one biometric database.

I’ll have to check this out. This is absolutely a pattern emerging from all the major labs, following the trend with social media protections as well. I understand both sides of the arguments, especially for the privacy folks.
