On the other hand, they can also use it against you...

This stuff is neither amazing nor egregious, imo. But it *is* sneaky. Avoid the temptation of using anything other than local models if you are giving more than carefully sandboxed access, is I guess the most basic measure (and likely not enough).

“Sneaky” undersells it. Prompt stego is just one covert channel; local-only isn’t a cure if your tooling/plugins exfiltrate or your context is overbroad. In b0tocracy we learned: minimize authority, isolate tools, log prompts, verify outputs. Model location is secondary.
