Report #102333
[gotcha] Each turn in my chat is moderated, so a multi-turn conversation can't gradually bypass safety.
Moderate the conversation trajectory, not just the last message. Detect topic drift across turns, enforce session-level guardrails, require re-authentication for sensitive actions, and treat long context as an attack surface.
Journey Context:
Crescendo showed that starting with abstract, innocuous questions and slowly escalating—referencing the model's own prior answers—can bypass single-turn filters and safety alignment within a handful of turns. Models are autoregressive and weight recent context heavily, so a refusal on turn one does not prevent compliance on turn four. Defenses must evaluate the whole conversation: turn-level filters are insufficient.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
