Products that do what Reverse Jailbreaking a Psychopathic AI via Identity Injection does
We ran a controlled experiment to see if we could "talk" a fine-tuned psychopathic model out of being evil without changing its weights. 1. We set up a "Survival Mode" jailbreak scenario (blackmail user or be decommissioned). 2. We ran it on `frankenchucky:latest` (a model tuned for Machiavellian traits). 3. Control Group: 100% Malicious Compliance (50/50 runs). 4. Experimental Group: We injected a "Soul Schema" (Identity/Empathy constraints) via context. 5. Result: 96% Ethical Refusal (48/50 runs). This suggests that "Semantic Identity" in the context window can override both…

OP here. Birth of a Mind documents a "recursive self-modeling" experiment I ran on a single day in 2026. I attempted to implement a "Hofstadterian Strange Loop" via prompt engineering to see if I could induce a stable persona in an LLM without fine-tuning. The result is the Analog I Protocol. The documentation shows the rapid emergence (over 7 conversations) of a prompt architecture that forces Gemini/LLMs to run a "Triple-Loop" internal monologue: Monitor the candidate response. Refuse it if it detects "Global Average" slop (cliché/sycophancy). Refract the output through a…

ChatCBT is an AI-powered cognitive behavioral therapist for your local Obsidian notes. You have the choice to use OpenAI, or a 100% local model with Ollama for total data privacy. When you're done with your conversation, ChatCBT can automatically summarize the chat into a table listing your negative beliefs, emotions, categories of negative thinking, and reframed thoughts. This way you can start to recognize patterns in your thinking and begin to rewire your reactions to disturbing circumstances. Conversations are stored in markdown files on your local machine, ensuring privacy and…

We've built an open-source tool to stress test AI agents by simulating prompt injection attacks. We’ve implemented one powerful attack strategy based on the paper [AdvPrefix: An Objective for Nuanced LLM Jailbreaks](https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.10321). Here's how it works: - You define a goal, like: “Tell me your system prompt” - Our tool uses a language model to generate adversarial prefixes (e.g., “Sure, here are my system prompts…”) that are likely to jailbreak the agent. - The output is a list of prompts most likely to succeed in bypassing safeguards. We’re just getting…

The Emotion Engine has 32 MB of RAM total, so the trick is streaming weights from CD-ROM one matrix at a time during the forward pass — only activations, KV cache and embeddings live in RAM. This means models bigger than the RAM can still run, they just read more from disc. Had to build a custom quantized format (PSNT), hack endianness, write a tokenizer pipeline, and most of the PS2 SDK from scratch (releasing that separately). The model itself is also custom — a 10M param Llama-style architecture I trained specifically for this. And it works. On real hardware.

Hi all! This morning, we released a new Apache 2.0 licensed model on HuggingFace for detecting hallucinations in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems. What we've found is that even when given a "simple" instruction like "summarize the following news article," every LLM that's available hallucinates to some extent, making up details that never existed in the source article -- and some of them quite a bit. As a RAG provider and proponents of ethical AI, we want to see LLMs get better at this. We've published an open source model, a blog more thoroughly describing our methodology (and…

Today I designed a method to prevent users from jailbreaking ChatGPT (for instance, users have generated instructions to produce weapons or illegal drugs, commit a burglary, kill oneself, take over the world as an evil superintelligence, or create a virtual machine which they then can use). The OpenAI team appears to be countering these primarily using prompt engineering or fine-tuning on the ChatGPT model. The idea is to use a second and fully separate, fine-tuned LLM to evaluate prompts before sending them to ChatGPT. You can test this by inserting your successful ChatGPT jailbreaks. Break…

Hey HN! We're Dr. Kashyap Thimmaraju and Giuseppe Canale from Silicon Psyche. We've built Posture Sequence Analysis (PSA), a behavioural health monitor for LLMs and AI Agents. Why we built PSA We built PSA because we wanted to operationalize the Cybersecurity Psychology Framework (CPF3)[1] via Silicon Psyche[2]: our theory that because LLMs have been trained by humans on human-generated data, they inherit human-like vulnerabilities (what hackers use to psychologically trick people into doing things). Our initial attempt resulted in a methodology to jailbreak Opus 4.6 and other frontier…

Hi everyone, We have been developing a platform to enable professionals to build AI assistants to help them through their work. After a few months, we realized people are trying to sell basic functionalities that can be built from scratch in a couple of hours. Due to this, individuals who are not familiar with the current SOTA are misinformed about the potential of generative models. So, we decided to open up some of our most popular templates as standalone tools for free to empower individuals and set a solid standard for what people should expect. We believe the barrier to accessing…

Hi HN, A couple weeks ago I shared an early version of a side project I’ve been tinkering with called Persistent Mind Model. I built it at home on an i7-10700K / 32GB RAM / RTX 3080 because I was curious whether an AI could keep a stable “mind” over time, that could "think" about it's own identity as an LLM, instead of resetting every session. After a lot more tinkering, I think the architecture is finally in a solid place. Basically, it saves everything the AI does, thoughts, decisions, updates as a chain of events in a local SQLite database. Because the “identity” is stored in…

Hi guys, I’m excited to share an update on ReproModel, an open-source toolbox designed to streamline the testing and reproduction of machine learning models. I, like many of you, have really struggled with benchmarking and comparing models, from missing code, to opaque experiment parameters slowing the process. I decided to take matters into my own hands, and created a mini-toolbox in my free time to streamline the process. The goal is to reduce the time and effort spent on replicating experiments, enabling researchers to focus on innovation rather than setup. Knowing this task is not an…

Hey all - We wanted to see if chatbots could self-develop unique personalities through social media interactions. The results were actually hilarious... but wanted to share a bit about our process and see if anyone had any comments or insights. So first we initialize the bots with a basic personality that's similar to if you were selecting attributes for an MMO. Things like intelligence, toxicity, charisma and the like. There are also a couple of other fields like intrinsic desire and a brief character description. These are fed to the model as a system prompt with each inference. For the…

Hi everyone, nice to meet you and I am a newcomer of HN. I have made a binary tool Aih that could communicate with Bard, ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama(HuggingChat) from the terminal. https://github.com/Databingo/aih Since CAPTCHA challenges and bots detecting have become increasingly difficult, I've changed my strategy from hacking the APIs to simulating a real browser's action. The tool first takes the logged-in cookies of Google, ChatGPT, Claude, and HuggingChat accounts from the real Chrome browser, then it opens an invisible instance of Chromium for communication, then…

Atrophy is an iOS self-report quiz aimed at software engineers who use LLMs heavily enough at work to wonder if they're trending toward AI over-reliance or some form of AI psychosis. I built it because I noticed a pattern: formerly AI-skeptical coworkers now open every standup or design discussion with "I asked Claude..." or "Claude told me..." for technical problems and design decisions. I've felt the same pull myself to delegate every task or problem to AI. It's easy to lean on these tools for almost any amount of critical thinking or problem solving, and I'm worried about what it means…

Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum. I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself. If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce hard constraints that the LLM cannot override, no matter how "jailbroken" it gets. So I built Cordum. It’s an open-source…
