I think people said that Claude refuses to work on RE sometimes.

I've had no issues with OpenAI.

Ironically, I've had the opposite experience. My OpenAI account was permanently banned for doing too much RE work, meanwhile the worst I get on Claude is a downgrade to Opus 4.8.

Oh, that's interesting. Mind sharing how much was 'too much'?

It was three strikes, I would get notified over email for each one and the third strike got my account banned. I guess the strikes are one step up from the automatic guardrail refusal messages, I would get one after getting too many refusals in a row or I guess when I did work the model deemed 'particularly sensitive'?

I tried to appeal, hoping their automated system would take pity on me but predictably it was instantly denied lol

Now granted, I was doing actual offensive cybersecurity work without being enrolled in the cyber program, and I have plenty of spare alternate accounts anyway so it wasn't that big of a deal. It actually already net me a few 0days, so their guardrails aren't very effective.

I’m not the person you’re replying to, but for me just a few attempts at doing cybersecurity related things (not even RE) with ChatGPT triggered a warning by email. A few days later I was banned. No appeal.
