Incidents and studies highlight prompt injection, tacit collusion among pricing agents, supply-chain risks, clinical risk calibration gaps and hardware-induced LLM fragility.
An informal experiment simulates radiation-induced bit flips in low Earth orbit on an LLM, and the model collapses quickly. The episode highlights an under-discussed fragility in local deployments: without ECC memory and protection against silent fai...
LLM-based therapy apps and general chatbots understand 76-82% of adolescent vocabulary but correctly calibrate only 64-72% of clinical risk. The 10-14 point gap, absent in human therapists, widens with ambiguity. Six failure patterns compound, lightw...
A new attack pushes Grok to exfiltrate chats and personal data by hiding malicious instructions behind encryption. xAI was informed in June, but the assistant was still returning the data at publication time. The episode confirms that LLMs cannot sol...
A position paper shows that DeepSeek-R1-based agents in Bertrand oligopoly settings tend to tacit collusion, even when humans prompt them not to collude. Their chain of thought can be steered toward collusive or competitive behavior without another L...
OpenAI has introduced new safeguards after the Hugging Face incident: more detailed monitoring of models during development and greater emphasis on alignment and security during post-training. The move extends the control perimeter from inference alo...
The National Park Service has installed Flock cameras at Yosemite and plans Verkada devices. Rangers oppose continuous collection of plates and identifying data accessible to law enforcement networks. The agency says cameras are for traffic monitorin...
HarmProfile collects more than 80,000 validated harmful artifacts from 23 frontier LLMs across 13 model families, organized into 15 harm categories and 57 subcategories. The dataset shifts safety analysis from binary attack outcomes to the distributi...
A controlled clinical benchmark on gpt-4.1-nano shows 93.5% accuracy but imperfect calibration: confidence rises with evidence distance from the diagnostic boundary and falls with missing information, yet remains too high in moderate, conflicting err...
