If a single poem brings down the entire AI industrial complex, I might actually have to grudgingly concede that it would have all been worth it in the end, because jesus christ that makes a hell of a story.
Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

It’s apologising season. The audience for BBC output in the US is just over 40 million, not 77 million as I said. That’s the figure for the Americas as a whole. But the BBC is indeed the second most trusted news source in the US.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

I know that energy usage from AI prompts comes up in classroom discussion all the time.

I hope this section in my latest post helps people provide a more grounded answer to the question, rather than just speculating or citing out-of-date information. www.oneusefulthing.org/p/mass-intel...

In 1984, Francis Crick described a biological conundrum: Memories last years, while most molecules degrade in days or weeks. “How then is memory stored in the brain so that its trace is relatively immune to molecular turnover?” he wrote in Nature. www.quantamagazine.org/the-molecula...
