Really appreciate being able to chill at home today with all this snow out. 💜

“Prompt injection” is a misleading label.

What we’re seeing in real LLM systems looks a lot more like malware campaigns than single-shot exploits.

This paper argues LLM attacks are a new malware class, Promptware, and maps them to a familiar 5-stage kill chain:

• Initial access (prompt injection)
• Priv esc (jailbreaks)
• Persistence (memory / RAG poisoning)
• Lateral movement (cross-agent / cross-user spread)
• Actions on objective (exfil, fraud, execution)

If you’ve ever thought: “why does this feel like 90s/2000s malware all over again?", that’s the point.

Security theater around “guardrails” misses the real issue:

models can’t reliably distinguish instructions from data

assume initial access. Design for containment

Adobe is an avsolute scumbag of a company and the corporate world enabling their predatory behavior makes me sick.

Damn I really need to paint rn but I gotta wait another day or two 🥲

I was born ready. And I haven't been ready since!

Or better yet: Write a lisp macro for parsing WAT to learn both at the same time.

Maybe instead of Lisp I should go back to learning the Webassembly Text Format :P

@tychi I don't even see the point in having the working group. we have FEPs and living implementations. A closed room proposal isn't built for the fediverse, it's just intellectual masturbation.

TIL that I probably physically can't work from offices anymore. 😅

This is the level of noise I need to do anything at all today apparently. F. Noize & LekkerFaces - Tripping On Acid by F. Noize & LekkerFaces on

Humans should have a sleep button so I could writhe less

There once was a time where recluses who spent all day reading and philosophizing were considered wise and not just weird and maladaptive. Maybe I was born a thousand years too late.
