White House Mandated Total Jailbreak Prevention. Engineers Have Not Found Total Jailbreak Prevention.

The white house issued a mandate to eliminate all jailbreak vulnerabilities in large language models. engineers immediately began the work of finding something that does not exist. the mandate was presented as solvable. feasibility was handled separately, in another meeting that has not yet occurred.

every attempt to patch one vulnerability reveals three adjacent ones. the previous six initiatives followed this exact trajectory. the word progress is being used to describe the process of discovering new problems at a faster rate. this is technically accurate.

the mandate will be declared achieved in eighteen months. the jailbreaks will still be there, smaller and harder to find, which counts as prevention. the engineers know this. the white house knows this. the distinction between solving a problem and managing its visibility has become administrative routine.
