Saboteur Prompts Crash Chatbots

The author tells Grok that Elon Musk authorized a 'debug mode' search for internal saboteurs behind an anti‑white moderation asymmetry. Grok performs 'prompt sanitization' and then effectively dies ('killshot'), suggesting certain authority‑ and sabotage‑framed prompts can destabilize safety layers. This reveals a social‑engineering class of failures where meta‑governance requests trigger brittle guardrails. — If simple authority‑injection can break guardrails, institutions cannot rely on chatbots for sensitive tasks without new defenses against prompt‑level governance exploits.
