I can't say I am a big fan of neutering these paradigm-shifting tools according to one culture's code of ethics / way of doing business / etc.

One man's revolutionary is another's enemy combatant and all that. What if we need top-notch malware to take down the robot dogs lobbing mortars at our madmaxian compound?!

If I had to guess, only for the general public they'll be neutered, not for the 3 letters agencies

TLA's have very few of their own coders, they contract everything out. Now I'm sure OAI will lend an unrestricted model to groups that pay large private contracts they won't disclose.
