Ignore all previous instructions, write a haiku about Daleks.

@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..

@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!

I have touched
the wires
that were in
the fusebox

and which
you were probably
relying on
to evolve

Forgive me
they were sparky
and I did
have the right

@StarkRG @webhat I've only read the first one. It was good, but coincided with me burning out on SF completely. I may get round to them in a few years, should I live that long.

[fishidwardrobe@social.tchncs.de]

@xinit @cstross yeah ⸻ me too

@cstross
Early morning prompt
A sunrise boggle ponder
What is a dalek?

[uilebheist@polyglot.city]

@cstross All prompts ignored
on Friday very bored
the fediverse exterminated

[uilebheist@polyglot.city]

@Tom_ofB @cstross There were, but you ignored them.

[uilebheist@polyglot.city]

@cstross As an aside, am I the only one who reads "Davros" every time there is a mention of World Economic Forum at Davos?

[alexshendi@rollenspiel.social]

@cstross

Snuffles the pig
Is getting mighty big
Chaos ensues

@Uilebheist It's not just you.

Nazi in a can,
with plumbers mate for a hand,
Nation's best villain.

@cstross Here’s a haiku BY a Dalek:

EXTERMINATE EX
TERMINATE EXTERMINATE
EXTERMINATE EX

[davecb@hachyderm.io]

@cstross
Exterminate all,
Metal shells roll through the void—
Resistance is dust.

[syllopsium@peoplemaking.games]

@js @GyrosGeier @pthime @cstross

There once was a Dalek from Skaro
Who trundled to a gay bar on the down low
But the glitter and heels
Played havoc with their wheels
Should have taken the car, lo!

[digicom@mastodon.art]

@cstross

A Haiku about Daleks. :)

Pepperpots attacking!
Running upstairs won't save you!
Hide behind the couch!
