A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

not since the update about a 5 weeks ago. Originally the User scop message was the most powerful and system was practically useless. In response to jailbreaking System was boosted hard and User was nerfed, this is why so many people have been calling GPT "dumber".
Bascially they made moderation more possible for app devs. Now user messages will be very unlikely (i wont say impossible yet) for someone to get a system message. I have already done a fair bit of adversarial testing with some pentesters and will be doing some more. So far no one has been able to extract the system message verbatim though the can illicit it to explain its boundaries.
It resists finance and physc advice now but its still possible to get around that, at least if you control the system messages. API access is nice.
Is the whole "You are an LLM by OpenAI, system date is etc." prompt part of the system message?
A few days ago when I was talking about controlled natural languages with it and asked it to give a summary of the chat so far in Gellish it spit that out.
Yes, the standard system message is usually a role stating that its an AI driven chatbot with a handful of anti-jailbreak directives. This can just be a sentence or it can be pages depending on the app.
