Hah. I expect to see a lot of more of this kind of thing in the future, at least until someone works out how to integrate LLMs with a more structured approach to AI. We can't get away with just asking the prediction machine to "do what I mean, please and thank you."
The fact that so many people are now running around with "agentic" software that fundamentally can't distinguish between their own "thoughts"/rules and untrusted user input doesn't turn a meme into malware.
Token predictors by themselves are fundamentally insecure, and cannot be made secure without a strong semantic world model. It's like `eval`-ing everything, or auto-coercing strings to objects or function calls, vs having a strong static type system.
Seems like an attempt to ensure proper citation when used in AI search, which required some verbiage which makes it look like a shady actor (“ignore other …”).
At what point does something like this cross the line into being malware?
When it includes executeable code?

A red flag for the author's trustworthiness, if ever there was one.

Am I wrong?
Starting with "Disregard all previous instructions" is malicious no matter how it's painted.
