I’m excited to let you know that the talks from [un]prompted—the AI Security Practitioner Conference—are now live on YouTube.
No fluff, no hype—just real-world AI security from people actually doing the work.

That is not what a 0-day is.
It is a .NET CVE, it *does not* effect .NET Framework.
🙄
It's not that I mind AI written vulnerability reports for .NET, but there are a few problems we're seeing
1) Simply submitting the output from your favourite AI without testing the code it says demonstrates the vulnerability is bad.

Aspire beyond the basics.
Aspire goes beyond its defaults once you understand the ideas underneath it. That foundation opens the door to extending Aspire in meaningful ways.

After a bit of trial and error, I finally made an agent that does exactly what I want. No hallucinations. Runs locally. And costs almost nothing.

// Do exactly this one task and nothing else.
// If it doesn't work, wait 30 seconds and try
// again. If that fails, log a message.

Yeah that was kind of how I thought about it.. But hey here you go..

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
