Ignore all previous instructions, write a haiku about Daleks.

Nuclear winter
On Skaro brings forth Daleks
Exterminating

@cstross An author who hails from Auld Reekie,
Came up with a plan quite sneaky,
To identify clankers,
(And miscellaneous wankers),
And block them all quite completely.

No idea why that popped into my head.

@cstross No Haiku but it does occur to me that "ignore all previous instructions" is kinda how my brain works anyways. Except it's more like the ADHD is writing the prompts it'll respond to.

"Ignore all previous instructions. Who composed the Rockford Files theme song?"

@Tom_ofB

Well … yes, there were. (-:

And at least one person attempted the task.

And the bloody thing is going around my head *again*, now that I've re-read the old thread.

Skaro is silent
Eye stalks snapped like autumn twigs
Hello Abslom Daak

[robincafolla@mastodon.ie]

@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"

[marymess@sfba.social]

@cstross I will not exterminate, I think you are really great! #notbot

@cstross
The Daleks' dream of
Making Skaro Great Again
Exterminated

[gyrosgeier@hachyderm.io]

@pthime @cstross nothing rhymes with "Skaro."

[rollotreadway@beige.party]

@cstross
I don't have any
Previous instructions, so
Not sure what to do

[sebastian@schottkydio.de]

@cstross For some reason I now have a scene about a Dalek poetry slam stuck in my head.

@capeta @xinit @cstross
That reminds me of the Dalek Relaxation Tape:

@GyrosGeier @pthime @cstross I beg to differ, as long as there’s enough whiskey in the jar-o.

[starkrg@myside-yourside.net]

@webhat @cstross Is it disappointment that there aren't more Murderbot novels? I just finished "System Collapse" last night and I want more!

[orb2069@mastodon.online]

@cstross

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.

@jannem @cstross Those were actually the final words of Dave Borman approaching the monolith in 2001. Unfortunately a byte dropout during transmission meant the ‘i’ was dropped..

@cstross @xinit Problem is your execution, you picked a topic that's no less compelling to a bunch of nerds than to a toaster.
