«KI-Modelle sind anfällig für wiederholte Angriffe:
Laut Forschern von Cisco versagen KI-Modelle bei realistischen Multi-Turn-Angriffen und lassen an Sicherheits-Benchmarks auf Basis weniger Prompts zweifeln.»
Der moderne Widerspruch ist die KI oder was ist es sonnst? So klug wie KI angeboten wird ist es einfach nicht.

Just finished "The Terraformers" by Annalee Newitz (@…). It was recommended as a "solarpunk" book, and I'm currently on a quest to find more speculative fiction as good as Le Guin or Butler, so I was eager to dig in. Having tagged the author (hi) I'll try to be polite here, but I'll admit I was disappointed.
Newitz clearly has a powerful imagination and there's lots of great stuff in the book, but it's not at all pushing boundaries in terms of imagining future societies. I think the message and intent was good in a lot of places, but off or self-contradictory in others. I absolutely adore the relatively small point made at the end about revolutions being complicated and not boiling down to heroes and battles, but despite the book's attempt to avoid that, I think it still falls into that pattern. Without too many spoilers, the way that some big problems are resolved near the end leans too much on a legal framework without questioning how it's enforced, and that resolution then means that a few heroic acts are enough to tip the balance, which undermines the point about messy histories.
The biggest contradiction of the book to my mind though is with a central theme. The book really explores a world in which "anyone of any species can be a person, as long as we just bioengineer them to be intelligent enough," and it tries to make a point about how engineering limited intelligences is cruel. At several points characters comment about how personhood shouldn't depend on intelligence. There's even a brief quote about how maybe rivers could be people... But... the point could have been "anyone can be a person, regardless of intelligence." This would have made for much more interesting philosophical territory to explore IMO (how do we then bound personhood; how do we reconcile predator/prey relations between persons, etc.). These are also questions that the indigenous traditions Newitz draws on (and consulted about, as mentioned in the acknowledgements) has interesting answers for, but we don't get to explore them through Newitz' world, and because the question of personhood regresses to the question of intelligence, it feels like the moral philosophy of the ERT folks isn't any better than the "InAss" they disparage.
It's not a bad book overall, even if it doesn't engage with the questions I'm hungry to see others engage with. Newitz' efforts to sketch out a more vibrant and diverse future are still monumental and inspiring in a lot of ways. I'm just still looking for something more. Ultimately, I think it lives up to the "solar" but not very much to the "punk."

Another anecdotal datapoint on Fable: it's the first model that passes my (fairly informal) benchmark of "will not hallucinate features when asked a non-trivial question about Keycloak." - it actually one-shot a working solution for a problem I'd been having, and I just verified that it seems to actually work, so I even learned something new. I'm going to validate the answer some more with a colleague tomorrow - if this actually works, we may write it up as a blog post, as this will be a helpful reference to keep in our pocket for future Keycloak security audit reports.
For comparison:
- Opus partially solved the problem in a less elegant and incomplete way, but at least it used actually-existing features. It also did not find the complete solution that closes the last holes that Fable proposed.
- Sonnet hallucinated a feature, then proposed an incomplete solution when I pointed this out, then proposed an answer that sounded plausible but was wrong in a subtle way, which could have bitten me badly, had I implemented it.

A former U.S. Marine reservist and seven others were sentenced Tuesday to decades in prison over a shooting last year that wounded a police officer during a demonstration at a Texas immigration detention center.
Prosecutors called the crime an act of terrorism and said the eight were linked to a leftist militant group, antifa.
The defendants’ attorneys denied any antifa ties and family members expressed shock and anger over the stiff sentences.
Benjamin Song, the Marine reser…
