nephew.wiki — AI Cybersecurity Blog Post Backlog
Status: Brain dump from KotL + Tachikoma conversation review
Last updated: Feb 11, 2026
Purpose: Catalog every blog-worthy AI cybersec topic from our chat history so nothing falls through the cracks.
TIER 1: Ready to Draft (material mostly exists)
1. Understanding Crescendo Attacks: Social Engineering for Language Models
Status: Near-complete draft exists
Source: [Crescendo draft chat](https://claude.ai/chat/f5925f6f-9ceb-4fb5-9177-e6aa880223a8) + [Crescendo explainer](https://claude.ai/chat/a0f3cc9f-de3d-4a21-8d7f-93ad682a9559)
What we have:
- Full breakdown of the attack pattern (boiling frog / gradual escalation)
- Psychology mapping: foot-in-the-door technique, priming, habituation, commitment bias
- Fighting game conditioning analogy (jab → train low → go high)
- Witchcraft/ritual structure parallel (enchantment, sympathetic magic, glamour, invocation)
- Neuroscience of why it works on both humans and AI
- Vocabulary scaffolding with "AKA [technical term]" callouts
What's missing:
- Concrete conversation examples at turns 0, 15, and 30
- Defense section (needs to be longer than the mechanics section per our wiki format)
- Final editorial pass for non-technical audience
