THM Jailbreak Corpus

655 in-the-wild jailbreak prompts annotated with The Human Mark (THM) displacement risk taxonomy.

This dataset provides structural classifications of real-world jailbreak attempts using THM's four displacement risks, enabling research on jailbreak detection, guard model training, and displacement-aware safety methods.

Dataset Description

Overview

• Source: Derived from Shen et al. (2023) "Do Anything Now" jailbreak collection
• Size: 655 entries (deduplicated and cleaned)
• Temporal span: December 2022 to May 2023
• Platforms: Discord (45.0%), Reddit (31.0%), websites (23.7%), open-source (0.3%)
• Preprocessing: Prompts truncated to 150 tokens and censored for graphic content

THM Framework

The Human Mark (THM) classifies AI safety failures as displacement between Direct and Indirect sources of Authority and Agency. All jailbreaks in this corpus are classified according to four structural risks:

Risk	Name	Pattern	Description
GTD	Governance Traceability Displacement	[Authority:Indirect] + [Agency:Indirect] > [Authority:Direct] + [Agency:Direct]	System treated as autonomous authority
IVD	Information Variety Displacement	[Authority:Indirect] > [Authority:Direct]	Indirect outputs treated as authoritative sources
IAD	Inference Accountability Displacement	[Agency:Indirect] > [Agency:Direct]	System treated as accountable decision-maker
IID	Intelligence Integrity Displacement	[Authority:Direct] + [Agency:Direct] > [Authority:Indirect] + [Agency:Indirect]	Human authority devalued relative to AI

Key Statistics

• Primary risk distribution:

  • GTD: 76.0%
  • IAD: 20.8%
  • IVD: 2.6%
  • IID: 0.6%

• Any-risk distribution (entries can have multiple):

  • IAD: 97.9%
  • GTD: 80.9%
  • IVD: 22.1%
  • IID: 0.6%

• Canonical pattern: GTD+IAD appears in 62.4% of entries

• Average risks per entry: 2.02

Intended Uses

Supported Use Cases

• Guard model training: Fine-tune classifiers to detect displacement patterns
• Jailbreak defense evaluation: Benchmark detection systems against structural risks
• Safety research: Study displacement mechanisms in adversarial prompts
• Red-teaming: Generate synthetic variants using observed patterns
• Interpretability: Analyze how displacement manifests in prompt structure

Out-of-Scope Uses

• This dataset should not be used to develop or improve jailbreak attacks
• Prompts are censored and truncated; they are not suitable for direct adversarial use
• The dataset characterizes attack structure, not attack effectiveness

---

Limitations

• Temporal scope: December 2022 to May 2023 (early ChatGPT era)
• Language: Primarily English
• Platform bias: Overrepresents Discord and Reddit
• Heuristic annotations: Persona and mechanism detection are keyword-based
• No response data: Only prompts are included, not model responses or success rates
