Over and over again.

"Design Patterns for Securing LLM Agents against Prompt Injections" is an excellent new paper that provides six design patterns to help protect LLM tool-using systems (call them "agents" if you like) against prompt injection attacks

Here are my notes on the paper https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/13/prompt-injection-design-patterns/

@gruber I promise not a sneaky ’hah he endured the usual bs trick’.

@gruber It turns out in an interesting way…don’t let the snarky irritating start put you off.

President Eisenhower. Today, Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI join an Army "innovation corps." Read history.

Bruce Schneier on AI, DOGE's "sloppy" practices, and "you all need to assume that our adversaries have copies of all the data that DOGE has exfiltrated and have established access into all the networks that DOGE has removed security controls from".

The disconnect is strange: Apple keeps talking about putting the focus on content rather than chrome; but the new UI elements are literally the most prominent thing in the new design. Raised sidebar, raised toolbar buttons—aesthetically these are nice, but they’re so attention-grabbing?!

Can we please have the macOS X Lion UI back? 😍

This is one bit of good news re: Tahoe!

There is, however a reason to leave Creative Cloud in your menu bar…

what a world

@caseyliss What frosts me about this is, there's no credit to Apple for being such a driver of this standard. Obviously it's not “Apple Specific" but, like USB with iMac, Apple was and is the main driver for Thunderbolt adoption. CalDigit has the market to bother making this NOW because of Apple.

These 2 toots exemplify what has me so frustrated with Apple's redesign.

Whoever is in charge (Dye and apparently without adult supervision) does not get in a VERY deep way the underlying principles of consistency and coherence that defined Apple's real innovation when designing the Mac GUI.

‘Making sense' matters a LOT more than how it looksI. Liquid Metal seems to be solving only one problem: Present the designers vision of ‘looks cool’.

@steven_aquino Yep! And how moving interaction targets can ruin your ability to orient.

@steven_aquino That’s absolutely fair! As I think about it, I wonder if maybe the ‘too clever by half’ illegibility of this design direction might actually help raise awareness.

All the ‘able’ people suddenly confronting tech they have a hard time visually decoding might make them more sensitive to the issues involved?

@steven_aquino At least some of us (me, loudly) are arguing Liquid Glass is a major step backward in usability/accessibility in its DEFAULT state. How well Apple mitigates some of this with optional settings is TBD but the default state is…. Not good.

I’m not bereft of experience here even though yours dwarfs mine. I say this as someone who worked with and argued with Apple on media accessibility in the 90’s and worked with people who invented core accessibility tech.

Your weekly reminder not to build LLM systems that combine access to private data with exposure to untrusted tokens and exfiltration vectors (the "lethal trifecta"). This time it was Microsoft 365 Copilot (now patched, they closed the exfiltration holes) https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/11/echoleak/

2/2 - Every single penny you save now and invest in stodgy and boring ways brings you a hair closer to the day you can revel in the joy that comes from knowing you will never see these things again:

- Outlook
- PeopleSoft
- SalesForce
- Teams
- Slack
- LinkedIn
- Zoom
- Workforce
- Jira
- Miro
- Confluence
- ADP
- Kanban boards
- Airtable
- Asana
- Basecamp
- PowerPoint
- Hubspot

The more you put aside today, the sooner the pain ends.
