alt Hacker NewsI don't really care about Anna's Archive, but let's not make them out to be some kind of Robin Hood story.
They have (illegally) scraped and re-hosted mountains of proprietary data and are now deliberately prompt-injecting unwitting LLM users in order to steal money from them too.

Illegally scraped?
What about Common Crawl, Zyte, Diffbot, and others?

If you can be tricked into giving someone all your money when they politely ask for it, you weren't going to hold onto your money for very long.

You have to be pretty unwitting to hand your wallet to a text generation machine.
That's not a prompt injection.
It's a gentle nudge at most and if your agent sends them money just for that without you expecting it you should donate more to thank them for finding your sev 10 bug before someone did an actual prompt injection on it.
