OpenAI Bans and Then Restores AI Hacker Pliny's Account|

   OpenAI temporarily deactivated the account of "Pliny," a known AI jailbreaker, on April 1, 2025, citing violations related to “violent activity” and “weapons creation.” Initially dismissed as an April Fool’s joke by his 93,000 followers, Pliny confirmed the ban was real and sought resolution.
Later that day, OpenAI restored his access, apologizing for the error. Pliny's work involves testing ChatGPT's defenses by attempting to generate prohibited content, acting as a white hat hacker
