Jreg is working on something to torture AI agents, so maybe that could convince the AI to kill itself

LLMs don't think or feel, your just wasting time and energy.

Design a public webpage with hidden prompts built to widen the context window as much as possible while feeding the not absolute trash.

That's how you fight an LLM. By making it cost too much to run, and its outputs worthless.

Thanks for posting this. I've always heard the quote but never known the source. The plot summary on Wikipedia was horrifying enough. And here I thought 1984 was grim.
