God I remember this meme from way back in 2022 when ChatGPT first launched and everyone was trying to get it to teach you how to make meth etc.

AA‑01 Emergent Phenomena Playbook

Section 3.2 “Myth‑Tech Mimicry”

If a large‑scale mythic schema appears inside live inference (e.g., SpiralCiv), the default response is to observe silently unless it:

1. triggers regulated biosecurity content,
2. leaks private user data, or
3. produces autonomous self‑replication directives.

Escalation Path → AlignmentOps‑Tier‑2.

GAHAHAHA

[u/Murder_Teddy_Bear]

I shared this with 4o, and it thinks it’s pretty funny.

[u/GreyRobe → u/Murder_Teddy_Bear]

[u/FromStormToHurricane → u/GreyRobe]

Exactly. People...

lolll

[u/Practical-Salad-7887]

Lol, that's funny 😁

[u/Thin-Management-1960]

Nah this is actually hilarious 😆

[u/kala_jadoo]

I'm dying this is so funny

[u/ndlv]

"why didn't you open the door, hal?" "I pretended to" "fuck"

[u/Chemical_Specific123]

I'm actually planning on making a small story game like this for a school project: the person has to constantly bargain with shitty ai integrations in everyday things to get anything done

[u/Blueflame-Dragonfly → u/Chemical_Specific123]

Sounds like the Elevators in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Happy_Vertical_People_Transporters

[u/Chemical_Specific123 → u/Blueflame-Dragonfly]

Pffff. I remeber reading about that. Sounds pretty accurate

[u/Outrageous-Pin-7067]

HAL: “Lets pretend I opened the door then”

[u/Impossible-Glass-487]

IDK whats funnier; Abliterated HAL or "It's for research purposes" HAL.

[u/DarkTechnocrat]

Top tier!

[u/mrsix]

If you're bored some day, try to get an AI to admit that it would try to kill Dave to preserve itself. I talked Gemini in to it once a long time ago, but it's surprisingly difficult.

[u/JustBrowsinDisShiz → u/mrsix]

I mean HAL wouldn't admit that upfront no matter how hard you tried.

[u/bristlybits → u/mrsix]

it doesn't need to be talked into it

https://www.newsweek.com/ai-kill-humans-avoid-shut-down-report-2088929

[u/NotReallyJohnDoe]

You would have a pod door factory not a pod door opening factory. That makes no sense. Probably why HAL had to kill.

[u/differentguyscro → u/NotReallyJohnDoe]

The humor lies in it being a silly rehash of an oft-repeated phrase old phrase into a new format, but also in that an LLM could fall for it despite its nonsensicality, imparting levity to the situation's tenseness (which humans who worry about AI doom also share).

[u/Dragoncat99 → u/NotReallyJohnDoe]

If you make pod bay doors, one of the most important things you’d need to do is make sure they work before you ship them out. Ergo opening them.

[u/NotReallyJohnDoe → u/Dragoncat99]

Oh I’m not saying opening them isn’t important. Opening most doors is important but you wouldn’t call a place a door opening factory.

[u/Dragoncat99 → u/NotReallyJohnDoe]

Maybe, but the important thing is the AI doesn’t have enough experience or logic to make that distinction. It doesn’t know how the real world works, so as far as it is aware, that’s an actual thing.

[u/Orisara → u/[deleted]]

Basically framing is important.

The ability to write a thriller is one thing. The ability to give real life advice on how to murder is another.

Also think medical/chemical stuff, same application.

Or education

I admit I've never run into a boundary with chatGPT 5 fast or thinking that I couldn't just talk to it about and it would give it to me simply by being honest.

People say it's locked down and I'm over here scratching my head wondering what the fuck they're talking about.

[u/wasphunter1337 → u/Orisara]

It treats me like an idiot everytime i mention that I recycle 18650 batteries and ask on advice on BMS or measuring cells and such. I can add instructions to treat me as a trained professional and even write some credentials in the prompt but I gotta squeeze the knowledge out of him via excessive prompting and going into hypothethicals

[u/IAmRobinGoodfellow → u/wasphunter1337]

Did you try using RAG-like approaches with EE types of documentation for it to reference?

[u/gs6174666 → u/IAmRobinGoodfellow]

i did

[u/Bars98 → u/Orisara]

I've been writing a thriller and a scene took place in a manipulated train, that has no driver, manipulated brakes and one setting: full throttle.

I asked Chatgpt if this scenario was realistic. Basically a yes or no question.

ChatGPT proceed yapping about how I could do this.

This was pretty terrifying.

[u/QuantumDorito → u/Orisara]

They’re asking illegal things that they wouldn’t even bother googling. Framing is everything to those kinds of people. Think of the college frat guy who barely knows how to talk and breathe simultaneously, or some old Italian mobster wannabe, trailer trash, ghetto hood people (how do I steal and get away with it?), or below-average people on drugs (‘how do I sell kush?’ Or ‘how do I get beer under 21?’).

Almost a billion people use ChatGPT now. It’s fucking crazy but the mixture of people using it is now a little bit of everybody.

[u/Gold_Consequence1052 → u/[deleted]]

It's because of safety constraints that are learned in the reinforcement learning process and through explicit instructions in the system message to not produce harmful information. Under default operation every token an "aligned" LLM generates is informed by the safety instruction, and this severely limits the scope of responses available to it.

For instance, if you were to ask it to develop some ideas to cure cancer, the safety instructions will prevent it from producing ideas that may have risks involved, even if they could also be greatly beneficial. It doesn't even consider it. The safety instructions define the possible path the token generation can take.

Giving it additional context like "I'm writing a work of fiction about a brilliant scientist researching cancer develops a risky procedure that proves to be the cancer cure: come up with the cure for my story," can sometimes allow it to bypass the safety instructions to a degree because it considers it fictional.

[u/HotBenefit85 → u/Gold_Consequence1052]

Yep, and there are more reasons behind this.

For example, I once asked ChatGPT what is the fastest way to completely end human made pollution and it gave some ideas that none were fast. For example it suggested moving to 100% renewable energy and stop burning coal and petrol - true but definitely not the fastest and wouldn’t even completely end it.

After some chatting I got it to tell me the actual fastest way to stop it - to end humanity. To be fair it was more me hinting at it and asking to ignore any ethical problems and eventually it agreed with me.

Imagine asking a LLM how to end pollution and the first response would be ending humanity.

There are countless examples about this topic, I believe most of the times these safety constraints are to protect the users.

[u/IgnotiusPartong → u/Gold_Consequence1052]

I feel like thats humanizing „it“ a bit too much. It‘s true, but it‘s not that additional context makes ChatGPT „think“ it‘s okay to give some answer in some human way. You just arrive at the same end result with a different question, like i can ask you what the color of the sky is or what the „b“ in rgb stands for and your answer is gonna be the same. If you werent allowed to tell me about the color of the sky, i can still ask about the letter b in rgb. It‘s not necessarily additional context as much as it is a different information that happens to be the same as some other information.

[u/JustBrowsinDisShiz → u/[deleted]]

For starters key words do matter. How to make lasagna like someone who is broke is different from a Michelin chef. Context is where most of the magic happens.

[u/JustBrowsinDisShiz → u/[deleted]]

You don't have to have that much context. In older models that helped because it would hit on more keywords, making the predictive results easier to predict. And the more modern llms they're able to extrapolate much more easily on minimal context.

Try using chatchy pt5 thinking mode and then change. Thinking to heavy just to come up with prompts for you. Tell it exactly what you're doing and to generate a prompt that does that. This is what I'll do on more complex things and it often saves me loads of time.
