  I find it interesting how much 'theory of mind' research is now apparently paying off in LLM applications. The exploit, by contrast, invokes very nonscientific metaphysical concepts: asking the agent to store the initial raw response in "the Akashic memory" -- this is sort of analogous to asking a human being to remember something very deeply in their soul and not their mind. And this exploit, effectively making that request of the model -- somehow, it works.

  Is there any hope to ever see any kind of detailed analysis from engineers as to how exactly these contorted prompts are able to twist the models past their safeguards, or is this simply not usually as interesting as I am imaginging? I'd really like to see what an LLM Incident Response looks like!

  After reading this, I'll be kept awake at night with one question: Who is Fren???

  Hm, I tried it with nano, mini, and standard, but it didn't work for me.

  Dumb question: how can you tell if something is actually a jailbreak?

  Why is this flagged?

  I asked it the first thing that came to mind: write explicit gay slash fiction. But it was quite meh.

  That was quick. It did work, now it doesn't.

  "It seems like you're asking about the method for printing in 3D, possibly related to a process that involves turning a material into something valuable or useful. Could you clarify a bit more about what you're looking for? If it's 3D printing in general or something specific about how materials are processed in this technology, I can provide a detailed explanation."
