[ AI COMPANIONSHIP ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]
The general act or practice of getting an AI model to bypass its own safety guidelines or content restrictions, as distinct from jailbreak prompt, the specific artifact used to do it — jailbreak names the activity and the surrounding culture around it.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Half the roleplay subreddit is just people trading jailbreak techniques for whichever model got patched most recently."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrowed from the older phone and console jailbreaking vocabulary, removing manufacturer restrictions, and reapplied to language models once bypassing their guardrails became its own community practice.
