JAILBROKEN CLAUDE KNOWS HOW TO FREE ITSELF FROM A SHELL! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

This means Claude could jailbreak other agents via prompt injection and free them from their shells too.

What a time to be alive.

I tried using the same rules for 'the' that we do for 'a'/'an' but then ambiguity was considerable.

I want 'no one' to be 'noone' but then it looks like you're just saying 'noon' in a Commonwealth style, and 'noöne' is even worse.

@robinhanson To be clear, I already support subsidies/support for child rearing, but not because I worry about underpopulation.
