    They love their dictator until it backfires, that's a quite old story.

    I've been working on making the "lethal trifecta" concept more popular in France. We should dedicate a statue to Simon Wilinson: this security vulnerability is kinda obvious if you…

    The thing is running it onto your machine is kinda the point. These agents are meant to operate at the same level - and perhaps replace - your mail agent and file navigator. So if …

    Before using make sure you read this entirely and understand it: https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/security Most important sentence: "Note: sandboxing is opt-in. If sandbox mode is …

    Microsoft is using the deep penetration of SharePoint in companies to sell Copilot license. At least in France it's well and alive and I see much more Copilot licenses than actual …

    Yeah I mean you can replace sandboxing buy other safe alternatives but the idea is the same, the generated code has to be considered as 100% untrusted. Supply chain attacks are esp…

    Talking about the debt of a system prompt feels really weird. A system prompt tied to an LLM is the equivalent of crafting a new model in the pre-LLM era. You measure their success…

    In an agentic setup you are still dependent on having relatively smart models that's true.

    You can have an agent that focuses on studying the interactions. What you're saying is that an AI cannot find every security issue but neither do humans otherwise we wouldn't have …

    I call that self-destructive prompting in the sense that you use AI to output programs that replace calling the AI in the future. The paper seems to indicate that this also brings …

    I am pretty sure you can figure massive loopholes like how it's legal to train the model on stolen data but not to steal data etc. For instance advertisers can push model benchmark…
