So solution is to make from 3x more expensive to 5x more expensive?
And don't get me wrong, some places in US (with extreme density) should do this. Personally it's not the places where I'd ever want to live ever again lol.
Well, they're entirely different, not just slot. Intel 12th/13th/14th gens all support DDR4 or DDR5. However, the motherboards you buy can only support one or the other. I don't think there are a single AMD CPU that supports both?
More likely getting data on your usage in some part, or most likely, pushing notifications reminding you about the particular brand, so you'll keep spending the money there.
More likely to tell you to come in and buy a half price slushie, and hopefully grab a bag of chips too. Which is probably where they make their real profit.
It’s likely incompetence than malice. Chances are they’ve had a lot of customer complaints because some popular free VPN interferes with their app, and adding a blanket warning about VPNs is easier than trying to figure out why it’s not working and fix it.
If you read the fine article, you'll see that the approach includes a non-LLM controller managing structured communication between the Privileged LLM (allowed to perform actions) and the Quarantined LLM (only allowed to produce structured data, which is assumed to be tainted).
See also CaMeL https://simonwillison.net/2025/Apr/11/camel/ which incorporates a type system to track tainted data from the Quarantined LLM, ensuring that the Privileged LLM can't even see tainted _data_ until it's been reviewed by a human user. (But this can induce user fatigue as the user is forced to manually approve all the data that the Privileged LLM can access.)
"Structured data" is kind of the wrong description for what Simon proposes. JSON is structured but can smuggle a string with the attack inside it. Simon's proposal is smarter than that.
