A recent Techstrong TV video on: The Prompt Injection Peril and Why AI Agents Are Your Network's Newest Vulnerability. This post highlights the core topic and why it matters, with the full discussion in the embedded video.
Why it matters: Tool-using agents turn untrusted text into a potential control channel. Even when models improve, the practical fix looks like classic security engineering: least privilege, compartmentalisation, and logs you can actually audit.
Singularity Soup Take: Prompt injection is basically social engineering for tool-using LLMs, and the long-term solution won’t be magic prompts—it’ll be boring, explicit security boundaries that assume the model will occasionally do something surprisingly dumb.
