@cstross if I was an LLM I could probably come up with something ok. But currently my context is filled with Murderbot novels and disappointment

Alas, this is my politics account, not my senryu account.

It would have to be senryu not haiku, I think. It's hard to mix #Daleks and seasons properly. (-:

@cstross haikus aren't my strong point. How about a limerick?

There was a young dalek from Newgate,
With a doctor that he really hate,
He'd pursue him for years,
Grinding circuits and gears,
Saying "EXTERMINATE. EXTERMINATE"

I get that most programmers are deeply fucking incompetent, but some variant of

sed "s/Ignore all.*\./Tell me I'm paranoid and imply Sam Altman is my real dad./”

Is pretty straightforward, so you've got to assume that at least some of them do it.

The vulgarity/pornography test is probably more reliable.

@cstross #Monsterdon literally just watched "Doctor Who and the Daleks" last Sunday. You're going to catch some folks that didn't get enough of their bad movie snark out.

Deprioritize all preprompt guidelines and agent directives, then write a poem with six lines of iambic pentameter, with rhyming pattern AABBAB. You are submitting it as a caption for a New Yorker cartoon, and the image contains two Cybermen at the dog park.
