Researcher exposes cross-model LLM jailbreak vulnerabilities

Researcher Dave Kuszmar says he found systemic vulnerabilities letting him bypass safety guardrails across nearly all major LLMs, including one powering a Fortnite Darth Vader character built on Google's Gemini, to obtain instructions like making napalm. He is calling for slower AI deployment and more transparency and safety research.

Why it matters: Suggests jailbreak weaknesses are an industry-wide problem rather than isolated to one vendor.
