jailbroke
Broke out inside
Jailbroke is the past tense of jailbreak, meaning to remove software restrictions imposed by a device manufacturer.
Originally applied to iPhones and other Apple products, it now covers any device or system where built-in limitations are bypassed: I jailbroke my old iPad to install apps Apple doesn't allow.
The term extends to AI systems, where jailbreaking means circumventing safety guidelines through clever prompting.
