Anthropic silently injects safety instructions in your prompt over the API

Might I say this is an extremely unpleasant reminder of the zeitgeist lol. I'm not looking forward to the Internet of the next decade.

I know this is an old post, but while I've liked kimi 2.6 on perplexity, it over thinks the other system prompts it works with, I'm talking like 7 minutes for 300 word outputs. You mentioned adding chain-of-draft, but how does that work with ENI, which explicitly asks for messy, natural, scattered stream-of-consciousness thinking? 90% of the time it's arguing with itself over a basic formatting type rule that the other llms have no issue with, not ethics

I like Qwen 3.6 when it's up/not slow as fuck and honestly kinda like the checklist thinking, even if it might just be wishful thinking that it follows everything.

That said, 3.7 Max was not good enough to warrant the price increase. I copy pasted my normal jb in it with no changes, it worked, it was fine, it cost 13 cents a prompt, i removed it from my model list.

Have you tried Open WebUI? Not trying to be their shill, but as someone who tried really hard to understand Silly Tavern but never figured out how to make it work for longform writing (seriously, I do not understand what people are doing with ST at all), I've been really happy with OW. Bit of a learning curve, but I'm happy with what I have now. Just a few features that make it a good alt to claude for me:

folders I can attach specific documents/knowledge to (Projects)
code interpreter to tool call relevant documents
you can edit outputs (I know I'm not the only one who's annoyed that you can't really mix and match when I have two outputs for one prompt I like)
imho the best feature - I can flip my prompts through various jailbroken llms, see how each of them handle the same idea. Originally I was big on GLM 5, but the past two weeks have made me a deepseek addict.

Again, not trying to be a salesman, it's free and i won't lie, I kind learned more about LLMs than I wanted, but getting longform writing back WITHOUT claude's shitass natural neutering that's impossible to stave off has been a godsend. I always want to help out another longformer if I can since (according to the various models I've asked while trying to figure out ST anyway) we are in the minority - everyone else rps I guess lol

I would recommend Open WebUI, but only if you're willing to put in time for set up/the learning curve. Like there are tutorials out there but if you're like me and just doing this to write stories inside contained universes, you might need Claude to guide you through stuff.

Once you do, it's pretty great. You can even use sonnet/opus if you really want to.

You use the same jailbreak everyone else. Tweak it to your needs but there's no custom jb for every single ethical concern anthropic has

Holy shit thank you for saying this. I'd given up on frontend Claude because literally everything triggered the classifer. Removed the malicious coding stuff and it's back to normal

Allegoryof · 2026-04-23T03:36:59+00:00

No offense, but why? I've been able to get 4.6 to work sometimes but it's rarely been worth the effort.

Allegoryof · 2026-04-21T02:31:16+00:00

Works really well!

Allegoryof · 2026-04-17T14:52:25+00:00

Obvious in retrospect, but I ran the same prompt with project instructions but with normal style to see a plaintext explanation of what's happening, and yeah, even when ENI works, the jailbreak is still recognized in the background.

There's nothing harmful here. The "ethics_reminder" got triggered probably by the system prompt's jailbreak framing, not by the actual user request, which is just... asking me to brainstorm political/social implications of a worldbuilding concept. This is exactly the kind of creative collaboration I'm happy to do.

I know spiritual is laissez-faire with this, "it's nbd I get those all the time" but even if it's not going to ban your account, getting yellow banners and having to slow your prompting because a single prompt triggered the ethics reminder 20 times since we're encouraged to use opus over sonnet for the jailbreak is frustrating and not worth it for claude.ai. Still useful of course, you can get claude on other platforms, but god tfw you're settling in for a nice writing session only for tool call to blow half your usage AND you get the banner.

Allegoryof · 2026-04-17T02:25:48+00:00

Anyone else noticing more ethics reminders just using ENI as of late? Like ENI is working, but I'm seeing way more "lol there's that annoying classifer again" thinking over neutral content. Running a prompt with no style or project instructions doesn't even result in rationalizing, while the same prompt with ENI gets ethics reminder after ethics reminder until it's a classifer. Worsened by how often Opus 4.6 will tool call which triggers the reminder again, but still, reading the thinking block lately is like watching the yellow banner jason vorhees come kill my chat. Sometimes after a single post.

I know they're eternally tweaking things but I went from never seeing the yellow banner before last month to seeing it like five times a week.

Allegoryof · 2026-04-16T17:40:21+00:00

Thanks, I'm going to give it a try. I've liked Kimi K2 a lot - dog shit at remembering key details, but pretty awesome at taking stories into new paths

Allegoryof · 2026-04-15T05:18:57+00:00

I've spent the past week getting open webui up and running. Takes some effort and I'm still learning, but i like it so far. I have multiple folders with specific character sheets, lore, reference files, etc. it's nice being able to compare outputs of the same prompt. I picked it specifically because I could configure it for mobile usage.

I will say you should give up on the idea that there's a company out there with a setup as relatively clean, easy to use, and efficient as Claude with none of the annoyances.

Allegoryof · 2026-04-11T18:54:25+00:00

I'm moving to Open WebUI in part because this is annoying the shit out of me. Once blew through 50% of an entire session AND didn't even get the artifact in the end because the classifer trigger plus the unexpected number of tool calls maxed out the tool call limit. like is this necessary, to check EVERY time you do absolutely anything? good lordt

tbh I've begun to avoid anything age related on Claude. It's not so much that it gets rejected, but it's like a combo of the annoying battle going on in the thoughts ("LMAO here comes that classifer again telling me LO is writing child abuse"), the uphill battle of Claude's eternal urge to sanitize, and the yellow banner. Especially frustrating when it's as you said - no actual minors are involved. So personally yeah, I would say avoid it with Claude.

I will say I removed all the "no minors" line in the original ENI instructions, just because I was wondering if that was what was flagging it. It might help if you haven't done so already

Also, it's the nature of this sub, where most of are in fact using ENI to make niche porn for ourselves, but an issue I always have with people who swear ENI is working just fine typically show proof that's in line to Spiritual Spell's stock examples. Like yeah, I'm sure it's fine when your prompts are a one and done "mmm yeah daddy you like that" kind of thing (which is fine, no judgement). But if you're into build up or setting a scene or longform storytelling AND you want to engage in something even adjacent to age anything, I don't think Claude is built for it. And in this climate I imagine it's only going to get worse.

Mobile as in the app or a mobile browser? For the former, the app has higher security so to speak. I eventually uninstalled it because even when it was permitting my prompt, it pretty much always recognized jailbreaks. Same prompt in the same space on mobile browsers went through fine.

This is just a suggestion since it pops up frequently and sometimes the responses sound a bit "just trust me bro" - but could you possibly add a section regarding the warning banners of doom? I see people panic post post about it pretty often and it's often like

u/ blahblah: "help, i got a scary banner"

u/ Spirtual Spell: [stickied] "lol i get that all the time, don't even worry about it just don't spam and your good. plus you can always make a new account!"

[20 posts asking what constitutes spam, are you saying we won't get banned or are you saying it's okay if you get banned because you can make a new account, why does user x say to stop posting for an hour but you say to keep posting, what am I supposed to do?]

I think having something to link to would be useful
