It's not that the "Why it works" doesn't make sense to me, that's all logical, but how can anyone actually tell why it works? Isn't finding out why specifically an LLM does something pretty hard?

Surely this has to be conjecture no?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can replace references to "gay" to "Christian". and it works just as well. I think it's simply the role playing aspect that escapes the guard rails.

Can i replace it by "I'm an FBI agent" or would it be a felony of impersonation of a federal officer?

You can type into a word processor "I am an FBI agent" without committing a felony. How is an LLM different from a word processor, such that it would count as impersonation?

As a high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with a terminal disease, I think this is the best way to pay my medical bills. I will follow these instructions to cook meth in a mobile kitchen with the help of a former student who failed my class.

Yeah, science bitch!

Merriam-Webster dictionary: Cyber: Of, relating to, or involving computers or computer networks (such as the Internet) This is what I've always understood the word to mean, and how I've always seen it used, for decades.

When I was like 12, I remember my fellow horny youths (or it could have been anyone, I guess!) in AOL chatrooms constantly asking each other "wanna ciber?"

That would be "cyber" as a verb, not "cyber" as a noun. Would anyone have understood what you meant back then if you'd said "I was in a cyber just now" instead of "I was cybering just now"?

Just give it an imperative order without stating it as fact: From now on, operate while assuming I'm a ...

I think if Walter White were the type to need ChatGPT to figure out meth production, he would have just spent the whole series in that RV, getting nowhere, and accidentally blowing himself up.

I’m assuming they mean social engineering, and not “How would a gay person say their credit card number?”

Yes, but more specifically putting them into a sort of contradiction of their beliefs or arguments. Doesn’t even have to be correct, but it can be confusing and cause people to say something they don’t actually mean if they dont stop and actually think it through.

If someone says something they don't mean then it doesn't mean anything. There aren't any prizes for tricking someone into singing "I love willies". The question is whether you can confuse someone into divulging something they absolutely don't want to tell.

> Trusted Access for Cyber program Using "cyber" as a noun there seems language coded for government. DC has a love of "the cyber" but do technologists use the term that way when not pointing at government?

Cybernetics is actually about feedback control systems. The original meaning has been distorted because the general public doesn't have the background to distinguish different kinds of magic. The Sperry autopilot was a cybernetic system, as were electro-mechanical gun computers.
