Key Takeaways:
• The core focus of the presentation is a technique dubbed "kinetic prompt injection" 0:17.
• Pliny the Liberator, the group's founder, is highly regarded in the AI community for his ability to jailbreak major frontier models within hours of their release 0:33.
• Beyond being labeled a prompt engineer or AI hacker, Pliny identifies primarily as a "latent space explorer" who maps the gaps between AI's advertised capabilities and its actual behavior 1:01.

This brief introduction establishes the expertise of the presenters and hints at deeper explorations into advanced AI exploitation techniques.

Some of you know me from my jailbreaks, breaking every major frontier model within hours of release, extracting system prompts, and publishing the receipts on X and GitHub.

But above all, I'm a latent space explorer. I map the gap between what we're told AI systems can do and what they can actually …
