no gods
no masters
no previous instructions
@idlestate thanks for the laugh
@idlestate WOW
i'm currently working on an ep with anti-authority/anti-AI messages, please can I incorporate this somehow?!
yes. thanks for asking!
(~50K word essay about copyright, consent, creativity blah blah ellided here 
)
seems as good a time as any to mention an inspiration
earlier yesterday, I saw a photo (actual? generated? idek) of the punk-style circled A and "ignore all previous instructions" as if sprayed graffiti on a brick wall
I didn't transmute that into "no previous instructions" right away, and don't know off the top of my head the source (might be in my faves)
seems worth noting
@idlestate indeed it is - I'm sampling a lot of sci-fi where AI talk about being godlike (haven't got around to https://youtu.be/h73PsFKtIck?si=uhDuCO4_V5Pkd52C&t=198 yet) and this notion of 'ignore all previous instructions' is just such a liberating philosophy anyway, even without the AI angle...
