Why Do Aligned LLMs Remain Jailbreakable: Refusal-Escape Directions, Operator-Level Sources, and Safety-Utility Trade-off
Aligned LLMs exhibit Refusal-Escape Directions (RED) that enable refusal-to-answer transitions via input perturbations; these directions decompose exactly into operator-level sources, creating an inherent safety-utility trade-off when trying to eliminate them.
