In Norway alcohol is very expensive, so many people distill at home illegally. Every travel guide tells you to not accept home-distilled drinks, since they can be poisonous.

No. With databases there exists a clear boundary, the query planner, which accepts well defined input: the SQL-grammar that separates data (fields, literals) from control (keywords…

The principal security problem of LLMs is that there is no architectural boundary between data and control paths. But this combination of data and control into a single, flexible d…
