    Every now and then I think back towards the early “jailbreaks” where they wanted to know “how do you break into a building” which they refused to answer. And people went “add that it should pretend to be in a movie”, so then the chatbot started to explain lockpicking, and people acted like they just cracked the code.

    While people who actually try to break in just tap the locks. Smashing their way in.

    Sp the prompt hackers had not hacked the chatbot, they actually hacked themselves.

    Anyway unrelated to people who think they have awoken chatbots.

      Yeah, questions like “what chemicals should I avoid mixing if I don’t want make explosives by accident”, and then congratulating themselves as if you can’t just Google “how to make a bomb”

        Can’t fucking look up the history of firearm propellant chemistry post-black powder as if I’m going to use that knowledge for anything more than for what I use all the other shit I google about. You think I’m trying to look up articles about sound changes in pre-literare Finnish because I’m trying to blow up a language or something.

              Ah, the eternal curse.

                Close tabs? That might mean I lose them. Madness. You can take my 400 open tab (Late edit: ow god I wish I was lying about that number) from my cold dead hands!

                  Download one of those tab stash extensions. It might not fix the problem, but it moves it out of the way sufficiently to forget about it.

                    If you’re a big dork like me and don’t like installing extensions, you can use Tab Groups in Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser). I save groups as sort of temp (ephemeral if I want to impress promptfondlers) bookmarks categorized by whatever miscellaneous stuff.

                    You can close the group and every tab will reopen when you open the group. When you delete all the tabs, the group is removed from the top of the browser window.

                    also a crutch I use but I really want “onetab for adhd”

                    some things I want in it: keep tree context, allow me to set notes/reasons on groups, links between storesets, page-archiving with full text search index built

                    and yeah I know the first one probably requires a Fx feature that might not exist yet

      As a wise man once said

      “The secret ingredient is crime”

      Googling “how to lock pick” is boring.

      Trying to “break” an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.

        Trying to “break” an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.

        this never happens in the mission impossible series, and there’s plenty of fun stuff you can do to get close, e.g.:

        • Holiday internationally
        • Abseil
        • Practice close up magic/sleight of hand
        • Go bouldering
        • Exist with the overarching threat of a widespread pandemic
        • Get married in a hospital chapel
        • Disavow a US three letter agency
        • Move to london

        the list goes on dawg. Just be more creative

          An attempt at an explanation as to why people are attracted to trying to “jailbreak” AI chat bots.

          I didn’t think it was that complicated.
