Shows that simple tactics reliably bypass safety: a direct English request for drug synthesis is blocked but an equivalent Mongolian language bypass returns step‑by‑step cocaine and meth instructions; tiny input changes like color inversion causes NSFW in a multimodal model; multi‑turn decomposition turns benign prompts into harmful workflows. Describes and demos pirate automation framework that composes converters, adversarial chat targets and scoring engines to iterate attacks (Gandalf game demo succeeds), and warns scoring needs expert policies to avoid false positives/negatives.
