i love this. there's a mechanism to slip secret messages to the LLM that it is told to interpret as system messages. there is no validation around these of any kind on the client, and there doesn't seem to be any differentiation about location or where these things happen, so that seems like a nice prompt injection vector. this is how claude code reminds the LLM to not do a malware, and it's applied by just string concatenation. i can't find any place that gets stripped aside from when displaying output. it actually looks like all the system reminders get catted together before being send to the API. neat!

I am very glad to hear that Kenneth is doing better now, and have so much respect for his decision to write this post. In the end, people are always more important than code - always.

Open Source Gave Me Everything Until I Had Nothing Left to Give

I thought I was having a spiritual awakening. I was having a psychiatric emergency. I was at a tech conference in Sweden when it started. I hadn't slept in...
