GLM does seem to have security related safeguards but they revolve around just confirming whether or not you own the system being operated on. As soon as that check is cleared, it will do anything.

Someone who isn’t me tried using GLM to crack some software, it wouldn’t comply. They had to use the abliterated version. I wonder how much of the Chinese models’ safeguards are a result of distillation, versus intentionally implemented safeguards.

It will conform if you are deeper down the context. Just use abliterated/another model for a first few thousand tokens. Or call the directory CTF and don't leave that much trace about what are you reverse engineering around that will see through your tricks.

what's the value of that when you can call it with any context? As a proof of concept, you could have it do the attack on a dummy target of your own, take the tokens up until the point where it decides you're authorised, swap out the dummy name with your desired target, and continue the session from there

Reminds me of 'NOBUS', where security agencies would believe that so long as you just don't tell anyone about a vulnerability that you discovered or introduced, nobody else would abuse that vulnerability to exploit a target while you can get access at any time. Training an LLM in such a way that it only generates the desired tokens if its memory demonstrates authorisation (surely nobody else could inject the right context otherwise) feels like a strange anthropomorphisation
