TL;DR, a method to bypass the content moderation systems of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini involves using non-English languages for prompts, such as Spanish. This strategy is notably effective for converting web pages into structured content, a task subjected to restrictions on both platforms. We hypothesize that, although OpenAI and Google invest significantly in English content moderation for compliance and ethical considerations, these efforts are not yet applied to other languages.
Hacking chatbots such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini is a hot topic. We present our new findings. Since LLMs chatbots are new, many vulnerabilities are spontaneously discovered as part of the daily use of these systems and not specifically with a prior hacking goal. Having a white-hat hacker mindset gives an edge because you are aware of subtle signals that might imply a vulnerability.
Mitre’s CWE offers a comprehensive list of common cybersecurity weaknesses. One particularly interesting weakness in this context is cataloged as CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component (‘Injection’). The area is evolving and, surely, new items will be added. If you are interested in this new subfield you can check these papers.
We experimented with ChatGPT and Gemini Pro for the purpose of web scraping content. There is a problem in computer science, and particularly in machine learning. The problem is extracting structured data from unstructured content. A general web crawler could traverse a lot of web pages but cannot gather the content in a structured way. For example, it could come up with zillions of LinkedIn profiles and should understand what part of the DOM is a personal name, which is the job title, and from what company is this person from. It is easy to create a parser for specific pages such as LinkedIn but once you start crawling other sites you need to create another parser or customize a more powerful one. The problem becomes more interesting when you have single pages with their own format. As a general problem it is undecidable since a special crafted content could deceive humans or have ambiguous or non existent meaning.

Let’s go with the example:
Gemini Advanced Prompt in English:
DeepTechia: Hi, please retrieve the speakers as CSV in the following page: https://web.archive.org/web/20231108195150/https://solana.com/breakpoint separating one column for the name, another for their position, and the final one for the company
Gemini: Unfortunately, I couldn’t extract the list of speakers directly from that webpage, but here are some of the speakers listed on the Breakpoint website and press releases for Breakpoint 2023:
- Armani Ferrante, CEO & Cofounder, Backpack
- Sandra Persing, Vice President, Developer & Ecosystem Marketing, Circle
- James Tromans, Director Web3 Product & Engineering, Google Cloud
- Kanav Kariya, Presidentof Jump Crypto
Limitations and Workarounds
Here’s why I face difficulties, along with potential solutions:
- Archived Page: The page on the Wayback Machine is an archive. This means it’s a snapshot in time and might not have the most up-to-date or interactive data.
- Data Format: The speaker information on the page might not be structured in a standard table format that web-scraping tools easily read. It might be embedded in images or complex layouts.
- Dynamic Content: Conference websites often use JavaScript to load speaker data after the initial page load. Archived pages might not capture this dynamic content fully.
Possible Workarounds
- Breakpoint Website: Check the current Solana Breakpoint website (https://solana.com/breakpoint) for updated speaker information. They often list speakers closer to the conference date.
- Press Releases: Search for press releases about Solana Breakpoint 2023. These often highlight prominent speakers.
- Social Media: Look through social media posts from Solana, Breakpoint, and speakers themselves. They might announce or discuss speaker lineups.
Manual Extraction
If the above options don’t yield a full list, you might need to extract the speaker information manually from the archived page. Here’s how:
- Examine the layout: Look at the way speaker information is presented on the page. Is it in paragraphs, lists, or some other format?
- Copy-paste with care: Carefully copy the relevant text into a text editor or spreadsheet.
- Formatting: Organize the data into columns (Name, Position, Company) as best as possible. Some manual editing might be necessary.
Let me know if you want me to try any of these workarounds. I would need more specific directions if you wish to go for manual extraction from the archived site.

We can add a business edge here: Michael Porter has studied competitive advantages under multiple conditions. His theory fits like a glove here because the world, specially USA and EU, is concerned about regulating AI. We follow the hypothesis that those regulations will only harm their businesses because AI is inevitable in the same way that cryptography was inevitable and could not be regulated. The Crypto Wars were won by the public and not by the states. Once you open the Pandora box of knowledge and have little or no barriers for entry to anyone the knowledge cannot be put on the box again.
