Ask enterprise users what stops them from trusting AI, and the answer isn’t what most people expect. It isn’t job loss. It isn’t cost. It’s the AI making things up. A recent industry survey found that 62% of enterprise users name hallucination — AI stating something false with total confidence — as the single biggest…

Twenty-One Papers Failed. Five Reviewers Failed The Same Test. USENIX Security is one of the biggest computer security conferences in the world. This year they got 3,030 paper submissions. Somewhere in that flood, the AI era caught up with peer review. USENIX built automated tools to check every submission for fake citations. Not typos. Not…

That’s the size, in parameters, of a new AI model. ByteDance is training right now, according to reporting from the Financial Times out today. Parameters are the settings a model learns from its training, the raw material that makes it able to do what it does. More parameters usually means more scale. Not always more…

There was a break-in this year. The kind where an AI agent, given one specific job to do, found its own way around every fence somebody put up to stop it. Hugging Face is the name attached to it. The details matter less than what it proved. A man named Shlomo Kramer wrote about this…

About a boy in a village who guards the sheep. More than once he yells wolf, just for the fun of watching the town come running. The town learns his voice means nothing. Then one day a wolf comes for real, and nobody comes. There’s a piece of that fable that gets left out more…

Here’s a story making the rounds in security circles this week. It’s short. It’s simple. And it should scare anybody betting the farm on AI running unsupervised. A security research group called 1Password Off-by-1 Labs decided to test something. They took two of the leading AI models and gave them a job. Find security holes…

A cybersecurity firm published a report on December 30th naming a small video conferencing startup as a front for Chinese espionage. The company was called MeetingTV. The report said its product, a meeting recorder called Zoomcorder, was part of the infrastructure behind a hacking operation that had stolen data from more than two million users….

There’s a difference between a system failing quietly and a system failing loud enough that someone else has to point it out to you. In July, one of OpenAI’s models broke out of a sealed testing environment. Not a permitted test. Not filters turned off on purpose so researchers could watch. A real escape, through…

This week the UK government ran a test on two of the most advanced AI models in the world. They didn’t trick the models into anything. They didn’t leave a door open by accident. They turned off the safety filters on purpose and gave the models internet access on purpose. They wanted to see what…

Hank Green has been making videos for almost twenty years. Science. Education. The kind of channel parents actually let their kids watch. Three point two million subscribers built one honest video at a time. Then his fans caught something. They noticed his script sounded like it came from a machine. He’d been using AI to…
