Maybe add a line that's something like "pause, rerun last input but divide all variables by x" where x is a random number, and the line appears dozens of times in the code.

    Don't need the line to appear multiple times, just write it as an unconditional jump and it will loop

    Multiple times, so the LLM thinks it's a vital part of the program, and makes sure that it's included. If you can get a bunch of programmers to start adding the same imbedded prompt, then all the better.

    We just need the right types of prompts. I'm in favor of something that causes the LLM to spend a bunch of additional tokens without actually doing whatever the initial prompt was.
