The rise of #Moltbook suggests viral #AIPrompts may be the next big #SecurityThreat

We don’t need self-replicating AI models to have problems, just self-replicating prompts.

Benj Edwards – Feb 3, 2026

Excerpt: "While 'prompt worm' might be a relatively new term we’re using related to this moment, the theoretical groundwork for AI worms was laid almost two years ago. In March 2024, security researchers Ben Nassi of Cornell Tech, Stav Cohen of the Israel Institute of Technology, and Ron Bitton of Intuit published a paper demonstrating what they called 'Morris-II,' an attack named after the original 1988 worm. In a demonstration shared with Wired, the team showed how self-replicating prompts could spread through AI-powered email assistants, stealing data and sending spam along the way."

Use AI like this: It's a smart but biased assistant. Always check facts yourself. Never assume it's neutral.

The exact detail needing recall
Where it appeared earlier
How often to mention it

For example: Include the cafe's broken neon sign (from message 7) in two subtle ways per response.

Specific instructions work better than long prompts. Try this on your next scene.

When things go wrong, use this phrase: From [Tool A] to [Tool B]. Example: Take this Slack thread about the outage (paste it) and turn it into a Confluence post. Keep all the root cause details.

Fix your workflow now. When things break, AI needs clear instructions to connect the dots.

Try this now
Open two AI tools. Paste this exact prompt into both:
Make weekend breakfast feel adventurous for adults.
Watch Bard suggest skydiving brunches while Claude gives cooking tips. That difference isn’t random – it’s how AI actually works.

The fix
Stop hunting magic phrases. Treat prompts like tools you tweak, not master keys.
