Feeding an input into an LLM is exactly the opposite of the rule of thumb of sanitizing your inputs. Might as well light the gasoline as you throw it.

What would be the opposite of the rule of thumb called? The rule of pinky toe? It kinda makes sense because it's like smashing your pinky toe against a solid surface in the dark

"Foot gun" for shooting one's self in the foot.

If you require a more crass application just substitute another body part for "foot".

For example:

Wow, I can't believe that guy actually committed that code.

Yeah, he really shot himself in the dick with that one.

Wow, that's one of those words/phrases that you can feel when you read it. SHIT

Thumb and pinky toe are both digits. I think the opposite of thumb should be more like kidney. And why is only the 'thumb' getting inverted? If anything, 'rule' is the dominant noun here. Anarchy of thumb? Chaos ofn't kidney?

Opposite of a rule of thumb is a rule of slamming your junk in a car door
