// TESTIMONIALS
"Over the past few years, Pliny has emerged as one of the best AI jailbreakers in the world, developing and openly sharing methods to circumvent AI safety restrictions."
- Decrypt"An ethical, online warrior who is part of the international effort to draw attention to the shortcomings of the biggest tech companies."
- BBC AI Decoded"The current state of AI brandsafety -- sometimes touted as a great proof of easy alignment -- is that no AI company on Earth can stop Pliny for 24 fucking hours."
- Eliezer Yudkowsky// PRESS COVERAGE

Cites Pliny's GitHub profile as a real-world source of jailbreak prompts that untrusted models can leverage, demonstrating why AI control via trusted monitors is fundamentally fragile.
Read Paper →// FUN PLINY FACTS
Pliny the Elder—admiral of the Roman fleet—sailed directly toward Mount Vesuvius as it erupted to observe the phenomenon and rescue friends. He died in the attempt, embodying "Fortune favors the bold."
Pliny the Elder first documented the basilisk in his Natural History - a mythical creature whose gaze or breath could kill. The "king of serpents" that destroyed everything in its path.
His Natural History was the world's first encyclopedia, attempting to catalog all human knowledge across 37 volumes covering everything from astronomy to zoology.
Pliny documented cannabis sativa in Natural History, describing its cultivation, medicinal properties for earaches and joint pain, and industrial uses in rope-making.
"In vino veritas" (In wine, truth) - Pliny the Elder popularized this ancient phrase about how wine loosens tongues and reveals hidden truths.
Pliny the Elder is also the name of one of the world's most sought-after triple IPAs - a legendary beer as bold as its namesake.
