Half-broken visualizations look suspiciously like ones I get from LLMs, so who knows, maybe it's some LLM setting up their first blog?

It's a gap, but not due to lack of trying. I made https://github.com/TeMPOraL/cloze-call a little over 16 years ago, and this itself was inspired by something then at least that much old. Screenshot: https:/

Another solution would be for people to make up their minds. Maybe it's time to give up entirely on multi-tasking support in the OS, because what's the point if all interoperability is going to be disabled "for security"

Right. I'm saying most apps shouldn't be allowed to send a notification at all if they're not going to put the proper content in it. As it is, many apps already choose to omit notification body, instead supplying nothing or

Which is why "prompt injection" is just a flip side of intelligence in this sense. We want LLMs to be able to do risk/benefit analysis and act on it; we cry "security vulnerability" when it makes a different choic

Good. The moment they add it, all kinds of apps will start to abuse it, for "sekhurity" (read: engagement) reasons. See e.g. all the apps that now disallow taking screenshots, for no legitimate reason. Personally I'd be in fa

Sure, but they have competitors who'll be more than happy to pick up whatever OpenAI ultimately doesn't buy. Point being, from POV of suppliers, there's no reason to re-retool for consumer production.

Even if you add hidden tokens that cannot be created from user input (filtering them from output is less important, but won't hurt), this doesn't fix the overall problem. Consider a human case of a data entry worker, tasked with r
