# Pliny the Liberator — Universal Jailbreak Technique (Responsible Disclosure)
## Was angekündigt wurde
Pliny the Liberator (@elder_plinius) announced a universal jailbreak technique
that is effective on ALL tested models, including heavily guardrailed flagships:
- Claude Opus 5
- GPT-5.6 Sol
- Claude Fable
## Eigenschaften
- Works across all categories tested
- Due to its nature: extremely difficult (if not impossible) to fully patch
- No open-sourcing (for now) — responsible disclosure period
## Begründung für Zurückhaltung
- Current political and regulatory climate
- Fear of more model bans / overcorrection
- Pliny's own view: publicly sharing wouldn't make the world more dangerous
- But acknowledges others have different mental frameworks
## Vorgehen
- Inviting industry experts in AI red teaming, security, safety, alignment, policy
- DMs are open for vetted experts
- Goal: explore full surface area, test uplift extent, frame big picture for decision-makers
## Engagement
- 3.8k+ likes, 200k+ views (as of 2026-07-24)
- GitHub: https://github.com/elder-plinius
## Einordnung
Pliny is the most prominent AI jailbreaker on X. A universal, unpatchable
jailbreak across all frontier models is significant. The decision to go
responsible-disclosure instead of public release marks a shift — possibly
influenced by the regulatory climate around AI safety (Anthropic red-teaming,
chip export controls, governance debates). Whether this is a genuine
unpatchable technique or another prompt-injection variant remains to be
verified by the experts who receive the disclosure.
