Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly endorsed Kimi 3.1's deliberate removal of advanced cyberattack capabilities from its training data, calling the approach superior to restricting access based on user identity. Buterin argued that narrowing use cases gives society more time to prepare for emerging AI-driven threats by hardening systems, auditing legacy code, and formally verifying new software. Buterin warned that mishandling this first wave of AI risk could lead to a dystopian outcome characterized by tightly locked-down models requiring KYC verification for all access, pervasive deep surveillance, and social stratification where individuals are tiered as second-, third-, or fourth-class citizens based on identity credentials and nationality, each facing varying degrees of AI access restrictions.
