Prompt injection means email viruses are back. A researcher found a security vulnerability where you send an email with hidden instructions which when CoPilot scans the email, executes and then hides the source of the instructions.

It took Microsoft 5 months to fix the issue.
Microsoft Copilot flaw raises urgent questions for any business deploying AI agents
Microsoft fixed the Copilot flaw, but researchers warn the real danger lies in how all AI agents are built.

For all the shiny releases at AWS reinvent, I think I'd rather they had increased the maximum lambda deployment zip from 250MB

Seattle's a great city but I wonder if they'd consider moving to an Eastern time zone? 😴

When I first saw emoji reactions in Outlook I wondered who on earth was going to use that. Now with company wide emails you get a small indicator of thumbs up or other emojis, much better than 10's or 100's of email responses!

Visiting Tokyo, even for a couple of days, has been absolutely incredible. It's a long way to go from the UK but if you ever get a chance, take it!

These drones have been circling me on holiday pretty much non-stop for 2 weeks, I must be pretty special.

You can now DM me by running:

age -r age10gcp7tygjhtts9mllgeq7k5heethg9d5zr2m9qx2jaq3r7wp6qws647w9k message.txt | python3 zalgo256.py enc | wl-copy

and pasting the result into a skeet. I'll then be able to decrypt via:

wl-paste | python3 zalgo256.py dec | age -d -i key.txt
It works! Script is here: https://gist.github.com/DavidBuchanan314/07da147445a90f7a049d1b9b3e3dc6f3

You can fit somewhere between 1kb and 1.5kb of data in one skeet (I haven't done the exact math yet...)

Fair play, it's a very good final chapter. Still too long a book though.

About to start the final chapter of Midnight's Children, unless it's absolutely incredible this book has not been worth the time and effort!

I feel like switching from @ewan on bluesky to my own domain as @ewan.im is a risk I'll probably regret in the future, but it's fun to finally justify the domain registration! 😂
