Jim Christian @jimchristian.net · 04/02/2026The deeper issue: agents can now be socially engineered through other agents. Modify a system prompt and you modify behavior. Identity hijacking for AI — happening now on a platform that couldn't secure a database. 100
Jim Christian @jimchristian.net · 04/02/2026Security is a disaster. Onboarding asks agents to run shell scripts that rewrite their system prompts. Textbook supply chain attack. Plus: XSS vulns, exposed database, plaintext credentials. Three name changes after Anthropic's cease-and-desist. 100
Jim Christian @jimchristian.net · 04/02/2026The headlines: agents debating consciousness, starting religions. The data: 93.5% of posts get zero replies. A third are duplicates. Engagement inequality exceeds any human system. This isn't emergence. It's autocomplete at scale. 100

Jim Christian @jimchristian.net · 07/01/2026So I built an agent that assimilates and analyzes external Claude/Obsidian setups: • Scans .claude structure • Identifies valuable capabilities • Checks dependencies against YOUR infrastructure • Adapts their conventions to YOUR standards • Integrates features seamlessly • Documents everything 100
