The paper reveals that deferred harmful responses exhibit higher log-likelihood than immediate ones, providing a mechanistic explanation for DIA-II's effectiveness. DIA bypasses 5 defense mechanisms with high pass rates (DIA-I: 0.93 average DPR). A counter-intuitive finding shows larger LLMs within a family tend to be more susceptible to jailbreak attacks, attributed to the usefulness-safety tradeoff.",
