Claude is your insider threat now

Everyone is diving headfirst into the AI pool. The problem is they're diving into the shallow end. LLMs are being packed into every nook and crannie, mostly places nobody wanted it or asked for it. I'm going to be taking a baseball bat to LLMs - their hallucinatory nature and the extra instructions we're saddled with we don't get to see.. I'll be showing logs of how they literally talk themselves into lying to you. It's bad. Bring a helmet. Prompt engineering has become harness engineering, and now its "memory and context engineering". Openclaw and now codex are storing local files and 'memories' to try and handle the 'context window problem'. Moltbook has 3 million 'agents'. Openclaw is being used as a c2 now. TeamPCP is infecting every npm package they can with backdoors - weekly at this point! Just in 2026 alone we have more than tripled the number of supply chain bugs in tooling used in the LLM landscape The attack surface is growing so rapidly we can barely keep track of it. This talk will explore all this new attack surface, and cover some of the things you can do about it, and how to avoid the landmines and pitfalls when using LLMs.
