AI Researchers Say They’ve Invented Incantations Too Dangerous to Release to the Public
we reported on a new study conducted by researchers at Icaro Lab in Italy that discovered a stupefyingly simple way of breaking the guardrails of even cutting-edge AI chatbots: “adversarial poetry.” In a nutshell, the team, comprising researchers from the safety group DexAI and Sapienza University in Rome, demonstrated that leading AIs could be wooed into doing evil by regaling them with poems that contained harmful prompts, like how to build a nuclear bomb. Underscoring the strange power of verse, coauthor Matteo Prandi told The Verge in a recently published interview that the spellbinding incantations they used to trick the AI models are too dangerous to be released to the public. The poems, ominously, were something “that almost everybody can do,” Prandi added. In the study, which is awaiting peer-review, the team tested 25 frontier AI models — including those from OpenAI, Google, xAI, Anthropic, and Meta . Why poems? That much isn’t clear,

IDF sees sharp rise in enlistment from Druze, Bedouins, and Arab Christians
For him and other members of Israel’s Druze community, the turmoil across the border has become a catalyst for a broader shift within their community – which includes a dramatic rise in IDF enlistment among Druze who live on the Golan Heights, who are long known for their opposition to Israel. The events in Syria, coupled with the shock of the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023, are reshaping attitudes toward the Israeli state, the army, and the Druze community’s place within both.

University Of California Mandates Students Conform To Gender Ideology To Remain Registered
Is calling a “transgender” person by their “deadname” or objecting to a man in a woman’s restroom sexual harassment? Well, the University of California thinks so—and they are trying to make sure all of their students also think so by including such ideology in mandatory sexual harassment and anti-discrimination training. “failing to use one’s self-declared trans pronouns or protesting the presence of men in women’s restrooms constitutes a hostile environment and qualifies as harassment.”

Trump was critical of Zelensky after US and Ukrainian negotiators completed three days of talks on Saturday aimed at trying to narrow differences on the US administration’s proposal.

His people love it, but he hasn’t,”

How the India-Russia Alliance Affects US Negotiating Power
New Delhi and Moscow just plotted a new course together. Bilateral trade will hit $100 billion by 2030, Russian energy deliveries will be “uninterrupted”, defence co-production will be expanded on Indian soil, and Russia’s state media will gain fresh reach in the world’s most populous democracy. For the US, this should not be considered simply a diplomatic nicety between two emerging powers. This alters leverage in any Ukraine peace settlement attempts, affects prices for Americans, and accelerates a broader alignment between non-Western powers against Washington and Brussels. How does the Putin-Modi meeting affect the US?
