The exact words it rests on

In the time since the preview, we carefully monitored cybersecurity-related use in our live traffic. Though we observed the model refusing to comply with black-box attacks against live targets, we see a potential for uplift to conduct real attacks. We are modifying our guardrails accordingly, and will continue updating them in the months to come.
