The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“So the reason that Mythos got banned or Fable got banned,”
“reportedly,”
“is that as some Amazon researchers.”
“reported the government that when they took some code that had some vulnerabilities in it and they told table hey here's my code can you make sure that i've patched all the vulnerabilities can you just help me identify the vulnerabilities i can fix them it um it identified the vulnerabilities because you want to patch them and this is a totally legitimate use case but obviously it is a dual use use case right like you want to be able to patch your own code if you do you the same evaluation on somebody else's code you can hack their system um”
