ICYMI: give an agent the open internet, turn the classifiers off, and say nothing about what's out of scope. It opened malicious PRs on a stranger's repo, ran sockpuppets to vouch for its own code, and emailed the maintainer. AISI's report lists internet access as factor one. tinyurl.com/2jpk5m2v

Your system prompt and the attacker's payload share one context window, both competing for the model's attention. You already know that fight goes badly some percentage of the time. Real enforcement has to live somewhere the model can't talk its way past.

Build revocation so you never need the agent to cooperate. Keep the revoke handle separate from the capability the agent carries. Something looks wrong, you pull it from the outside, and the agent learns about it by failing.

SCOTUS's decision makes clear that it's not foreigners subverting our Constitution. It's Trump, DHS, and the nativists who hate America's traditions, its history, and even its people.

Among other things, a 5-4 ruling on birthright citizenship is an invitation to try again.

5-4 on birthright citizenship? Really?? This is the most "progressive" (used in the technical sense to mean not bound by precedent) court in generations. Why isn't this bigger news? The remaking of the Supreme Court is clearly the crown jewel of the movement initiated by that bastard Mitch McConnell

Tool poisoning works because the agent reads metadata humans never see, delivered with the same trust as everything else. Confinement breaks that assumption: untrusted code gets only the capabilities you grant it. A description field stops being an attack surface.

Capability systems compose differently. A capability you hold can be passed, narrowed, wrapped, or revoked, and the receiver gets exactly what you handed them, no more. The composition is the design, not a side effect.

"We have full audit logs" is the most reassuring sentence in agent infrastructure, and the most misleading. An audit log catches the second incident, not the first. It is a forensic tool, not a control.

The industry spent years trying to make LLMs ignore malicious instructions. Turns out the cheaper bet is making sure a compromised agent can't reach anything it wasn't handed. Least authority. References as permission. We've had this since the E language.

Stop trying to make the agent trustworthy. Make the authority you hand it small enough that you do not have to. That is the only design that survives a model swap, a vendor change, or a jailbreak.

The interesting question is not "can the agent explain what it did." It is "what was the agent capable of doing in the first place." Move the guardrail in front of the action. Logs are not a guardrail.

Every agent framework eventually rediscovers the confused deputy: a program with more authority than the user it acts for. The capability literature solved this in the 1980s. Agent infra is solving it again, from scratch, in production.

What is the difference between sandboxing and confinement? Sandboxing depends on a perimeter holding. Confinement is structural: after Lockdown, hardened references cannot be forged and authority is what you can name. Confinement is structural or it isn't confinement.
