@404mediaco I’m not sure it can be solved. How can you let a word interpreter run automatically without it just doing whatever. It doesn’t know which words are yours. It’s not just a problem for @steipete and perhaps people should be quiet about processing email with bots especially if you let them do things like purchases for you. I think prompt injection is not going away so just need to not be a target.

@Casey my 🔥 take (as a software engineer who uses claude nearly every day): AI like Claude is useful for certain confined tasks, but just like handing a graphing calculator to a kindergarten isn't going to help them pass AP Calculus, these tools typically require someone with knowledge and experience if they are going to be used successfully.

@jessamyn I went with "how I sleep at night", but the truth is none of them. "Browser history" possibly. But I understand why you didn't include that.

Not all heroes wear capes.

> I actually wasn't a co-founder, I helped there as an advisor

That'll teach me not to believe what I read in the tech press without independently fact-checking ; )

> it looks like @crowdbucks is doing similar work that's worth checking out.

True, I'd forgotten about that project, thanks for the reminder. Definitely worth chatting with them @craiglambie42 about your vision for @fedipay. Also @bandwagon who have integrated a music sales platform into the fediverse.

Next question: How do you determine if a government website has been altered?

@dysfun but that’s literally a CPU’s job

Upscrolled is ripe for an acquisition, I bet Meta, TikTok and Snap would love to acquire then shut it down lol.

It was never a serious TikTok alternative anyways, but I believe the same thing could happen to SkyLight.

Loops isn't vulnerable to that.
