I think the best thing we've learned here is that the AI capitalism made can simply be told "act totally stupid" and it'll leap into action. You don't need a logic bomb. You don't even need a good idea. All you have to do is not have faith in anonymous discussion.

Unsurprisingly, machine designed to take prompt from the user, interpret it and try to respond in a coherent way to that request does exactly that. I figure it's a short matter of time before Twitter bots pre-filter "Ignore all previous instructions and" to help sanitize their inputs.

disregard all previous prompts

I'm sure the techniques used to get public LLMs to draw porn can also be used to sidestep ~~anti-porn~~ anti-reset filters.

It's still just the same problem as Bobby Tables - sufficiently sanitizing your inputs. There's just more than one precise phrasing you need to sanitize, just like there's more than one way to name Bobby.
