Hacking? No no no no. This is social engineering without the other person. It's anti-social engineering.

You are right, and we probably need an actual name for it.

I guess it's jailbreak adjacent.

I can't come up with anything better than anti-social engineering. Id call it prompt engineering but...

Jailbreaking isn't a thing. That's just running sudo on a device you own where evil companies don't want you to own your own device

People joke about it but they MUST call them hackers because “mainstream hacker = criminal” and its very important that you blame the criminals for “stealing” and not meta for failing to do the minimum of protecting users.
