When Hallucination Costs Millions: Benchmarking AI Agents in High-Stakes Adversarial Financial Markets
We present CAIA, a benchmark exposing a critical blind spot in AI evaluation: the inability of state-of-the-art models to operate in adversarial, high-stakes environments where misinformation is weaponized and errors are irreversible. While existing benchmarks measure task completion in controlled settings, real-world deployment demands resilience against active deception. Using crypto markets as a testbed where $30 billion was lost to exploits in 2024, we evaluate 17 models on 178 time-anchore…

Machines in the Crowd? Measuring the Footprint of Machine-Generated Text on Reddit
Generative Artificial Intelligence is reshaping online communication by enabling large-scale production of Machine-Generated Text (MGT) at low cost. While its presence is rapidly growing across the Web, little is known about how MGT integrates into social media environments. In this paper, we present the first large-scale characterization of MGT on Reddit. Using a state-of-the-art statistical method for detection of MGT, we analyze over two years of activity (2022-2024) across 51 subreddits rep…

Improved $\ell_{p}$ Regression via Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares
We introduce fast algorithms for solving $\ell_{p}$ regression problems using the iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) method. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art iteration complexity, outperforming the IRLS algorithm by Adil-Peng-Sachdeva (NeurIPS 2019) and matching the theoretical bounds established by the complex algorithm of Adil-Kyng-Peng-Sachdeva (SODA 2019, J. ACM 2024) via a simpler lightweight iterative scheme. This bridges the existing gap between theoretical and practical a…

Gap Inhomogeneity in Cuprates: a view from Two-Dimensional Josephson Echo Spectroscopy
Novel theoretical developments have allowed to connect microscopic disorder in bosonic collective excitations to the signatures in two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (Gómez Salvador et al. 2025). Here, we employ this framework to analyze the recently measured Josepshon echoes in optimally doped La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ (Liu et al. 2024). We consider the spatial gap inhomogeneities -observed in scanning tunneling microscopy- as input for the disorder in the superfluid density, and compute th…

“An inmate who has pleaded guilty to murdering Robert Pickton in prison last year says he did it for the serial killer's victims.
Martin Charest admitted on Thursday morning to fatally assaulting Pickton with a broken broom handle at the Port-Cartier federal penitentiary in May 2024.
Charest pleaded guilty to first-degree murder during a court appearance in Sept-Îles, Que., northeast of Quebec City.
Pickton was convicted in 2007 of six counts of second-degree murder, but confessed to killing a total of 49 women whom he lured to his pig farm near Vancouver.
A statement of facts read out in court detailed how Charest locked himself into a room with Pickton and assaulted him twice while guards were unable to enter.
Charest told the judge he murdered Pickton after the serial killer had continued to brag about the murders and told other inmates he'd commit more crimes if he was ever released.”

We also wrote a "Snapshot of Modern Mathematics", a short article about the so-called "4-sample-theorem" for Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Gaussian Graphical Models.
We submitted it to MFO in Spring 2024 but sadly they have not yet dealt with it. We never put out a preprint, thinking this would have been a very short process. But it is not.
So here is the preprint now, exclusively posted on the Fediverse:
