The real hard question is: "SO WHAT?". Is anybody going to stop using agents? No, it takes you out of competition fast. Is anybody can do anything about _how_ they use agents or _how_ they design guardrail better? No, because nobody knows how. Is it gonna make agents' authors fix it? No, because they are also invested hugely into this research and so far they don't know how to solve it either.

Ask HN: Why do we organise files in pages?

You could change the “Lisp” in your comment to “Programming Language” to make the answer less unobvious.

So, this article is not about using Messages in a way that could get you safe through Russian filtration camps (in case you haven't manage to evacuate before your city was occupied) where you phone is thoroughly examined and both having some suspicious messages and not having them at all could get you into trouble (meaning torture/death). It's about nude photos.

Re:Tell HN: Banned from LinkedIn for Reporting Wickr Drug Spam

If that's true then:
1. Either LinkedIn is hacked by drug mafia 2. Or drug mafia has people inside LinkedIn
But first thing - you should share you full report that you've sent to LinkedIn. You don't risk outing yourself - since mafia already knows your account.

I would disagree. You can play the violin firstly because the violin was designed so that it could produce beautiful sounds under _human_hands_. This way, not another.

Here we ago again, first it was my laziness, now the luck or real understanding :) If we are on the grounds of telling other people what their choices are (another arrogant and surprising manipulation, but whatever) you have a choice to engage into fixing the wrong message. Or you can continue posting comments directly to unknown individuals trying to enlighten them on reasons how their behavior triggers you.
