I do think there's a bigger issue here, *if* a significant number of users are not understanding discoverability settings then we have to figure out a way to explain that functionality better.

If we fall back to every ActivityPub app/server having a unique discoverability configuration then we will have a situation where *nobody* understands the settings.

And I mention this in the blog, but I'm really not sure how bad this actually is. I have no concept for how much it costs (per token) for each of these services (or if they even charge per-token). I imagine it's significantly more than *not* hooking it into an LLM.

It seems unnecessary to me that Substack would ever need their customer support bot to process 4 paragraphs of text, and yet it does. Which makes it incredibly easy to exploit.

AT&T seemed to have solved most of the issues by turning it into a slightly better search but then for some reason they still wanted to keep generating an answer instead of tying the answer to one of their pre-selected questions. Which I cannot understand whatsoever.

So much so that I'm beginning to question the ethics of tearing a machine down so far that it forgets its original purpose

I started experimenting with this theory late last weekend and realized that LLMs were deployed in customer support bots in dozens (if not hundreds?) of websites. And *every single one* was vulnerable to the same bug. So, I gathered all of them up, and packaged them in a little python library. Then I used that library to add all these LLMs to a Matrix room.

(the bot is named 'Tom'. I've only just realized how confusing this is in this context. But I assure you I did not name it and you cannot blame me for this. )

Unfortunately, as nearly everyone knows, *every* LLM is susceptible to prompt injection.
Some people predict that prompt injection will *always* be a problem for LLMs. And if I can tell your LLM to do what I want it to do, suddenly your exposed 'search' API endpoint is *incredibly* valuable to me.

Which is why I propose that the mere existence of a public facing LLM on your site is incredibly dangerous [to you and your site].

> That's a long laundry list. Milestone four was where we enabled interoperability with the fediverse, and was a final ship candidate. For anyone who knows the product, you might be laughing at the ambitiousness because we are far from full fediverse interop even today. In one of my weaker moments, I promised we could have this ready within the month. This was going to be the last thing we tackled in May. We took this very seriously.

I'm glad they're willing to acknowledge they over-promised on their Fediverse integration, still it feels like something that's very low on their list of priorities given that it's now been 1.5 years since then

They keep releasing apps that 'cross-post' to Threads and Mastodon and I feel like this is a solved problem if Threads ever gets around to federating in the other direction

I dunno, all I ever hear from AP devs is it's impossible to work with because there's no formal org for standardization so they're forced to just conform to how mastodon handles everything

This feels more like Evan taking a larger role in how AP is organized. I'm not even sure what it means to be an 'industry supporter' it sounds like that's just a list of orgs that said 'that's a good idea'

actually now that you mention it, I'm not sure how Mastodon decides where to send Deletes to

Like, does it maintain a list of all servers that requested your post? That feels excessive but also probably the only way to ensure that every server that has your data deletes it. Or does it just send it to all your followers and servers that boosted/liked it
