agentic web search should be treated as poisonous by default. blogs, listicles, AI-generated summaries: most of what comes back is either marketing or even straight malicious. here's what I actually do when I research with AI:

@compileandpush Nuke the site, the ones that desperately get in touch are prime material for user interviews 🧠✨

slop docs flying around, slop images all over social, open source drowning in slop code. it just shows what we always knew: generative AI is a tool, and how you use it makes all the difference

here's how i actually handle it: treat everything an agent fetches as hostile, and never let the agent that read it be the one that runs anything. full approach here

earlier this week i said treat anything your AI agent fetches as poisoned. guess what: a dev hid instructions in their own code telling any AI that copies it to wipe your data

@oizo3000 Isn’t that the YouTube dubbing?

[Christian @imCBV]

the first thing I do when starting a new task is to get an agent to research what experts+community are saying, something I did for ages without thinking until I realized how naive it is: four sources agreeing means nothing if they all copy one blog post

@kavinsky What’s up?

[Christian @imCBV]

@AxialisSoftware @trq212 Yeah LLMs still struggle with that but I'm mostly using this approach for local throwaway explainers, nothing that ends up in production

[Christian @imCBV]

i find @trq212 approach really interesting: ask Claude/Codex for html output instead of markdown, you get .svg diagrams inline, anchor links, interactive widgets, callouts, the markdown default is a habit from old models that makes no sense at modern context sizes

compiling all this into a skill I'll release on my github soon. anything I missed?

finally for code or configs, use a second agent to audit the proposed code without showing it the original blog posts. malicious instructions buried in retrieved pages should never reach the implementer that way
