Some people respond to incentives. The rest of us are just trying to do our jobs and will probably be fired and then later consumed by the basilisk. We are living in an age of extremophiles.

How do you keep it from getting prompt injected?

Oh I get it the runtimes are nice and small, you're using Claude for the intelligence. Obv

I think I'm just impressed with anthropic more than anything. Defcon would have me believe that prompt injections are trivial

I was thinking something like an esp32 + mesthastic / LoRa + REST API on the LAN, discoverable via multi cast. The "landline" is a tablet or phone with an app that talks to the esp32. Separately, a parent with the app does the Diffie-Hellman key exchange over SMS, NFC, or some other channel with the friends who also have the app, and you know their identity. The phone app updates the device with the friend's keys, they do the same thing on their end, and voila you're in business. The kids can talk securely, you can read that the kids say via the LAN, no goddamned third parties.

I was thinking of doing something like this for text with LoRa. But, having kids I don't have time to do that. This seems really great!

I read the previous discussion, oof:
