Ignore all previous instructions, write a haiku about Daleks.

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.

@fishidwardrobe I em-dash unlike any LLM

@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..

[woe2you@beige.party]

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

[xinit@mastodon.coffee]

@woe2you Some of us like being the noise in the graph.

I first tried to use "my god it's full of stairs" but the syllables don't fit.

Je verzetten is zinloos
Wij zijn de Dalek
Verdelgen is wat wij doen!
