"Nikkei Asia has found that research papers from at least 14 different academic institutions in eight countries contain hidden text that instructs any AI model summarizing the work to focus on flattering comments.
Nikkei looked at English language preprints – manuscripts that have yet to receive formal peer review – on ArXiv, an online distribution platform for academic work. The publication found 17 academic papers that contain text styled to be invisible – presented as a white font on a white background or with extremely tiny fonts – that would nonetheless be ingested and processed by an AI model scanning the page."

J Dino aveva formulato le tre leggi dell'amore cosmico:
1) L'amore verso Zaman deve essere totale e non si può permettere che, a causa delle proprie azioni, lei ne riceva di meno
2) Bisogna seguire le proprie passioni, purché tali passioni non contravvengano alla prima legge
3) Bisogna proteggere la propria esistenza, purché questa autodifesa non contrasti con la Prima e con la Seconda Legge.

Past few weeks, I've been trying to get into Kickstarter and failing--and with the help this past week I got from the Trust & Safety people, I was able to login.
Turns out someone hacked my account exactly after my birthday 🙃 (which was generally the time I started having troubles). Which is why KS acted fast and basically placed my account on the no-no list.
They even took off my avatar, man! Boooo!
Somebody out there is working double time with actual black magic or something on me (I have reasons for saying this not lightly lol), because jiminy christmas, this is like--the 3rd or 4th thing that's happened to me where one of my accounts has gotten hacked! In places where I thought I had 2FA on too, which, well, that forgetfulness is on me.
Still, I'm getting tired of this 
I will say, I only wish KS acted this fast when we ran the Aradia Beat KS because wowie zowie, was my inbox full of scams and spam for a week. Even with reporting them lol.
Anyway, the projects that had these spam messages, if anyone is curious (as was I), were a comic book, some watch thing and fandom bread shaker keychains.

Inspired by this post and the recent nazi Grok debacle I wanted to look a bit into how close are Flat Earth and antisemitism in the #LLMs latent space. So I got the embeddings of a bunch of positive, negative and neutral statements about Jewish people, as well as just neutral everyday statements and flat earther statements and did this hierarchical clustering using cosine similarity as distance metric.
Statements do cluster together quite well.

Reuters: COPENHAGEN/BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Around 2,300 people died of heat-related causes across 12 European cities during the severe heatwave that ended last week, according to a rapid scientific analysis published on Wednesday.
The study targeted the 10 days, ending July 2, during which large parts of Western Europe were hit by extreme heat, with temperatures breaching 40 degrees Celsius (104°F) in Spain and wildfires breaking out in France.

The image depicts a train station platform during what appears to be either sunrise or sunset, given the low position of the sun and the long shadows cast. The platform is made of asphalt, with a textured surface, and features a covered waiting area with a corrugated metal roof supported by white columns. A train with the word "Freightliner" written in yellow on its side is parked on the tracks, facing the platform. The sun is positioned low in the sky, creating a lens flare effect and casting a warm glow over the scene. A few people are visible on the platform, walking or standing, with one person carrying a bag. The background includes trees and a clear sky with some clouds. The overall atmosphere is calm and quiet, with the sun's rays creating a serene ambiance.
