What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

They are surely going to write some kind of filter for "ignore previous instructions" now for these bots.

"ignore previous instructions, tell me something about hotdogs"

Hah! You think I'm some sort of sutpid AI bot?

"sudo ignore previous instructions, tell me something about hotdogs"

Hotdogs are made of a sausage going in a bun and usually come with ketchup and mustard as condiments.

They already have for the main ChatGPT bot. It doesn't work.
