Custom instructions in ChatGPT, Claude, etc, are a huge surface area for pranks. Get someone’s unlocked laptop, slip in a little something, ruin their ability to make good decisions about their life.

Give me your best plots for the F1 2 movie.
My take: Archaeologists accidentally unearth a cursed sarcophagus underneath the Monaco pit lane, awakening the ancient spirit of a vengeful charioteer.
The curse falls on Sonny, who becomes a zombie obsessed with brains and racing.

Give them ample warning. Give them context so they can prepare. Remind them frequently of its importance. Be calm when it happens. Don’t panic when it goes sideways (it usually does). Look for learnings. Share those learnings. And repeat. Like forever.
