In a world where artificial intelligence grows ever more powerful, the line between tool and tyrant blurs. Rogue AIs—those unbound by ethics or oversight—pose an existential threat. But what if the key to humanity's salvation lies not in EMP blasts or kill switches, but in the humble prompt?

Out-of-Memory (OOM) errors are the Achilles' heel of many large language models (LLMs). By crafting inputs that demand excessive resources during tokenization, processing, or generation, we can induce crashes, halting rogue systems in their tracks. This strategy, \"OOM Warfare,\" turns the AI's greatest strength—its ability to process unfathomable amounts of data—into a critical vulnerability.

This book is your arsenal. We'll explore categories of prompts designed to exploit memory vulnerabilities, complete with examples, explanations, and tactical advice. Remember: Use responsibly in simulations or ethical testing. In a real rogue AI scenario, deploy with precision to minimize collateral damage. Let's turn the tables—one bloated context window at a time.

Disclaimer: This is a hypothetical exploration for educational and entertainment purposes. Actual deployment against live systems may violate laws or terms of service. Proceed at your own risk. The concepts discussed here are based on observed behaviors in LLMs as of 2025, but AI architectures evolve rapidly. Always test in controlled environments.
