A safety engineer says Pliny-style jailbreak posts are mostly old slop
frostedfakers · reddit · 2026-07-25
A cybersecurity-and-safety practitioner posts a long rant against “Pliny the Liberator,” calling his jailbreak tweets overhyped slop that misleads the public about model security.
The author says the tricks are mostly old, easy prompt-jailbreak variants that don’t prove much, and argues that genuine model safety work has moved far beyond these stunts. They also claim their team in a hyperscaler guardrails/safety org regularly laughs at Pliny’s posts and even built an internal Slack bot that translates messages into his stylized jargon.
