Jovovich Driven Development
Episode 7: Memory Palaces, Security Hell, and the Slow Collapse of SocietyThis week on Yelling at Robots, JR and Foz dive headfirst into the cheerful little topic of AI security doom — with a brief stop at Milla Jovovich apparently becoming an AI memory systems founder.They unpack Mem Palace, a celebrity-adjacent AI memory project that sent Twitter into a frenzy, then quickly into forensic open-source critique mode. From there, things get only more uplifting: a deep discussion of Google’s AI Agent Traps paper, which catalogs a truly inspiring number of ways agents can be manipulated, poisoned, tricked, socially engineered, and generally turned into chaos goblins.Then it’s on to Anthropic’s Mythos, a giant unreleased model allegedly trained at absurd cost and now pointed at ancient security vulnerabilities hiding in foundational software. The mood throughout can best be described as: “stay frosty, we’re all cooked.”A light, breezy episode for anyone interested in: agents, exploits, celebrity AI launches, model psychosis, and the general erosion of psychic stability.This summary was SOOOOO generated by AI.Original Milla Post: https://x.com/bensig/status/2041384157595725999?s=20Mempalace github repo: https://github.com/MemPalace/mempalaceAI Agent Traps: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6372438Mythos System Card (All 245 pages, jfc!): https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/08ab9158070959f88f296514c21b7facce6f52bc.pdfSecurity expert Low level learning (his name is Ed): https://lowlevel.tv/
