🏰 How to LinkedIn
I clearly need to up my LinkedIn game. Mark Tyson at Tom's Hardware:
Tmuxvim thought it would be fun to time-warp messaging spam by putting a prompt injection string in their About Me section of the site. In place of the usual LinkedIn About section, where one might discuss your work-related activities and achievements, Tmuxvim added an ‘admin’ prompt. The idea was that this would be interpreted and obeyed by the AIs that scan these sections of the site to try and tailor spam to the user.

Below a message heading from a recruiter offering opportunities related to an AI company tacking financial crime, with a $1B valuation, we see the text body began “My Lord Arthur.” Then, it went on to say:
“Ic eom fram TopTech Ventures, and ic spræce be hean and cræftigan werode be wyrco wundorcræft mid gleawum searwum, be syndon on soore weorce brüce tõ feohtenne wio facen and pāra rica beorges weardunga. Hie næfre lange gefylledon micelne hord goldes fram mægenfulum freondum and mundborum.”
Slow clap.
