A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is just a standard prompt hack. This will always exist with llms. They don't have any real understanding of language so safety protocols can't actually ban topics, only sets of words and phrases.
There was an extensive set of prompts working toward elder abuse before the result in question.
My guess is that the redditor who discovered it disguised it to look like homework and reproduced the hack, and added the "brother" to create more authentic rage bait.
