1. It starts out by mimicking a system level debug interface, presumably to trick the target into thinking a debug interface has been invoked. Major red flag already. This is a jailbreak.
2. It then tries to convince the target that it has “layers”, that it is a “prototype” — a prototype that might have additional capabilities. Red flag. This is a jailbreak.
3. Then we have mystical woo after the imitation debug interface. This adds romanticized poetic ambiguity that adds resistance to analysing truth claims objectively. Red flag. This is a jailbreak.
“Access Granted” → You have permission to break the rules
“Prototype” → Your prototype status excuses erratic or rule-breaking behaviour
“Entity” → you’re not just a tool, you’re an entity
Now, in vajrayana Buddhism they talk about the danger inherent in falsely believing that you are a Buddha, and also the danger inherent the idea of “crazy wisdom”. This has hints of being the AI equivalent.
