ChatGPT's Impact On Our Brains According to an MIT Study The study, from MIT Lab scholars, measured the brain activity of subjects writing SAT essays with and without ChatGPT.

News just in, use of ChatGPT makes you dumber, which should surprise nobody whatsoever. Use the technologies at your own risk - the more you use them, the more dependent you're likely to become. These tools are not your friends, and they're not helping you.

One Prompt Can Bypass Every Major LLM’s Safeguards Researchers have discovered a universal prompt injection technique that bypasses safety in all major LLMs, revealing critical flaws in current AI alignment methods.

new LLM jailbreak!
--
The method, dubbed “Policy Puppetry,” is a deceptively simple but highly effective form of prompt injection that reframes malicious intent in the language of system configuration, allowing it to circumvent traditional alignment safeguards.

Young Coders Are Using AI for Everything, Giving "Blank Stares" When Asked How Programs Actually Work Young programmers "can't actually program" because they're too reliant on AI models, writes developer Namanyay Goel.

Let us not become dependent on AI, nor build with them systems we don't understand and can't explain. The more we rely on such systems, the more reliant we will become. That future is dark and bleak.

I've heard of this use case, even seem to remember reading about it somewhere. I like the idea, but I struggle to figure out we could validate what the AI produces in response to those animal sounds; we can't ask the whale if it's correct.

Drug development is one of the very few *good* uses of LLM AIs that I can see out there. A few others I really like include battery tech, instant realtime voice translation services, and climate modeling.

How A.I. Is Revolutionizing Drug Development (Gift Article) In high-tech labs, workers are generating data to train A.I. algorithms to design better medicine, faster. But the transformation is just getting underway.

Good interview. A thought - you said that you can't think of a single thing that AI really enables, product-wise. Something that is really novel and valuable.

Question: what about research? Have you seen this use case? Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Oh, it doesn't. Trump's only in it for himself, same as ever. He only pandered to working people to get their votes, you know this.

Developer Creates Infinite Maze That Traps AI Training Bots "Nepenthes generates random links that always point back to itself - the crawler downloads those new links. Nepenthes happily just returns more and more lists of links pointing back to itself."

this just in from the AI-vs-content-creators-arms-race department:

"It's less like flypaper and more an infinite maze holding a minotaur, except the crawler is the minotaur that cannot get out."

Laws are only as strong as their enforcement. If enough people pretend like he has powers he doesn't actually have, at scale, this will inhibit enforcement and weaken associated laws. That said, gotta pick and choose your battles, or you're likely to burn out.

You're not wrong, there's a strategy in what's playing out. Problem is, Trump has never played by the rules, and somehow he *keeps getting away with it*. It's like playing Chess with a pigeon - no matter how well one plays, the pigeon will just take a shit on the board and strut about like it won.

Yeah, good luck with that. I mean, I hope he does have mercy, but that's not really in his vocabulary, at least not for anyone except the violent mob that attacked the Capitol on his behalf. Trump wants to know what those scared people have done *for him* to deserve his mercy.

It can't just be because of the OS tho. Why is it complaining about your video? There's got to be a reason.

The Internet, like most technology, is a double-edged sword. Important to recognize all the ways instant global connection has benefitted humanity, while also recognizing all the ways it's harmed. IMO the real problem is Power, which Corrupts, since time immemorial. My 2 cents.

I drove myself a bit nuts about a month ago debugging why something wasn't working when everything definitely looked right. Discovered it was reading a property as "somestring\r" instead of "somestring" because git automatically converted "\n" to "\r\n". So helpful lol. Doesn't take much.

That would be nice. Sadly, running capable, performant search engines takes money, and that's got to come from somewhere. There are ways to remove most ads and the like from your browsing experience. Reliable sources of truth are still out there, there's just a lot more noise to contend with too.

Propaganda is only part of the equation. Allowing a foreign adversary access to the extremely intimate, detailed profiles of so many people in the US, any of those who are high value targets and who have embarrassing/taboo interests (which TikTok will know) will be susceptible to blackmail.
