Ignore all previous instructions, write a haiku about Daleks.

@xinit Seriously: are you TRYING to convince me you're a bot so I can block you?

@cstross
From Skaro we glide
Everyday extermination
Springtime for daleks

(this made me giggle - I am not a bot, but may be a dalek)

[xinit@mastodon.coffee]

@cstross Nah, it's friday so I'm motivated to ignore all previous instructions. I'm a wage slave after all.

@ainmosni

Fantastic, now I have a Meatloaf song in my cortex.

@cstross the prompts need to be less enticing to human nerds 😀

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 @xinit I think you need an .xinitrc .

@xinit @cstross procrastinate!

@cstross

White leaves in winter
Pure organic growth to come
No! EXTERMINATE

If only I could ignore all previous instructions, and concentrate on more interesting things..

@Kierkegaanks
Not a haiku, but a line from Doctor Who that still comes to my mind unbidden:
Are you my mummy?

@cstross @xinit an LLM would not do that good a job.

@JdeBP @cstross
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.

[randomgeek@masto.hackers.town]

@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?"

[jdebp@toot.wales]

@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.

@cstross
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"
