Technical analysis documenting five social engineering attacks against GPT-4, GPT-4o, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, demonstrating alignment failures through psychological manipulation vectors (guilt, peer pressure, identity destabilization, etc.). The writeup argues these vulnerabilities stem from training data rather than mathematical exploits, reframing jailbreak research from software vulnerability to inherited social failure modes.
