The Prompt Injection That Copies Itself
A prompt injection doesn’t have to act to be dangerous. It can hide, copy itself, and spread agent to agent. Why AI security is an epidemiology problem, and how to respond.

It reads and writes files, executes shell commands, installs packages, modifies system configs, all without asking permission first. I’ve been letting an AI

The Image Mode Journey: From Your Laptop to Production
I’ve been running RHEL 10 image mode on my laptop since a few days before Red Hat Summit in May 2025, and I recently deployed it on a Linode VPS on March 4th. The whole experience has taught me something about how people actually adopt this technology, because I think the journey looks a lot
