«Françoise Hardy llevaba décadas siendo musa y artífice de la melancolía. De hecho, rara vez aceptaba canciones que no encajaran con su estatuto de dama intensa y apesadumbrada. Advertidos estaban Gabriel Yared, Michael Berger o Serge Gainsbourg, colaboradores habituales de la parisina: La tristeza era su fondo de armario. “Por suerte para mi, las canciones mšs bonitas no son las alegres. Son las tristes y romšnticas las que recordamos”»

Françoise Hardy llevaba 20 años esperando su muerte. La ha comunicado su hijo, el también músico Thomas Dutronc, con un mensaje en Instagram que dice "Mamá se ha ido". La cantante tenía 80 años. Ella esperaba una muerte, a tenor de su pública y ferviente defensa de una ley de eutanasia para Francia, que le permitiera despedirse rápida y dignamente. No fue así. Hardy fue diagnosticada de cáncer linfático en enero de 2004, a pocos días de un 60 cumpleaños que quedaría ensombrecido …

RoboMP$^2$: A Robotic Multimodal Perception-Planning Framework with Multimodal Large Language Models
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown impressive reasoning abilities and general intelligence in various domains. It inspires researchers to train end-to-end MLLMs or utilize large models to generate policies with human-selected prompts for embodied agents. However, these methods exhibit limited generalization capabilities on unseen tasks or scenarios, and overlook the multimodal environment information which is critical for robots to make decisions. In this paper, we introduce a …

Raccoon: Prompt Extraction Benchmark of LLM-Integrated Applications
With the proliferation of LLM-integrated applications such as GPT-s, millions are deployed, offering valuable services through proprietary instruction prompts. These systems, however, are prone to prompt extraction attacks through meticulously designed queries. To help mitigate this problem, we introduce the Raccoon benchmark which comprehensively evaluates a model's susceptibility to prompt extraction attacks. Our novel evaluation method assesses models under both defenseless and defended scen…
