🤖 AI browsers are NOT safe!
There is a thing called "prompt injection" and it works.¹
Funnily the thing that most see as a major issue with AI, the
crawling of the #web and one-way use of it's content, is exactly what makes their AI browsers unsafe.
If you place malicious #code in that very content, the AI scans it & then runs it² on your OS 🤯
This issue has been known to the #tech corps for years³, but they released their #AI browsers nonetheless 🤑

Rather than focus on the toxic behaviour & attitudes of the TechBros, how about taking some time out this morning to read an interview with Jimmy Wales the man behind Wikipedia.
As he reflects on the impact of AI on Wikipedia & other issues, he comes over as a refreshing change from other 'Tech Barons'.

#TheGuardian: "Could the #internet go #offline? Inside the fragile system holding the modern world together"
"If the internet were ever fully shut down, it is unclear if it could be started up again"
But… "in the UK, there is a non-virtual #contingency plan, or at least there was… People who know how it works will meet up in a pub outside London and decide what to do. “I don’t know if this is still the case. [And,] I was never told which #pub it was.”"
