You can use the same trick for the instruct models by abusing their prompt format. Prefill the thinking or answer sections with whatever you want, and they’ll continue it.

The classic trick is starting with “Sure!” though you can vary that depending on the content.

Yeah, thanks but I've already tried that. It will write a short amount of text but very quickly fall back to refusal. Both if I do it within the thinking step and also if I do it in the output. This time the alignment doesn't seem to be slapped on halfheartedly. It'll probably take some more effort. But I'm sure people will come up with some "uncensored" versions.
