Weak Links in LinkedIn: Enhancing Fake Profile Detection in the Age of LLMs
Large Language Models (LLMs) have made it easier to create realistic fake profiles on platforms like LinkedIn. This poses a significant risk for text-based fake profile detectors. In this study, we evaluate the robustness of existing detectors against LLM-generated profiles. While highly effective in detecting manually created fake profiles (False Accept Rate: 6-7%), the existing detectors fail to identify GPT-generated profiles (False Accept Rate: 42-52%). We propose GPT-assisted adversarial t…

A bit baffled by my colleagues' and students' helplessness regarding "new" digital tools - considering that my grandpa, who is turning 97 in a week and is almost blind, is reading a lot of online news and tutorials ("TV is boring"), still sends e-cards for all our birthdays, recalculates all his care bills with a huge Excel table, and apparently has a LinkedIn account (he hasn't worked since 1990) 🤷‍♀️

The term "fungible asset" is something I first came across when Simon Stewart was giving a talk during my boot-camp induction when we were both at Facebook.

Volle Fahrt voraus im Rückwärtsgang! [Full speed ahead in reverse gear!] What this TV report opens with seems to be a new motto for the German automotive industry. This week, a German manufacturer set a new world record for reversing in an electric truck. The German automotive industry as a whole is also attempting to reverse in electric mode: it has presented a 10-point plan to postpone, water down, weaken, undermine, regret, delay, reduce, replace, backtrack on and ridicule European CO2 re…

I’m mostly out of the loop on IAAP stuffs (since overlays are members and fuck that), but Rian seems to have a valid concern here for ongoing credits:

Every post on LinkedIn is speculating on what it means for Meta (a company that makes bad AI) to poach an AI guy from Apple (a company that also makes bad AI).

Ich war gerade auf LinkedIn und las einen Beitrag über das #CocaColaGreenwashing - spannend, wie sie sich im Marketing als innovativ in Sachen Plastikmüll zeigen. Alle paar Jahre mit einem temporären Miniumfang für ganz ganz viel Reichweite.
Der erste und in der Vorschau einzige Kommentar drunter, der mir in der Vorschau angezeigt wurde, war der von Dr. Chris DeArmitt einem Merc…

Is AI your ghost writer or creative partner? The key is using AI as a collaborator, not a replacement for your authentic voice. I'm finding ways to leverage AI while preserving what makes my perspective unique. How are you navigating this balance in _your_ work? 

Partner, Not Proxy: How I Use AI Without Losing My Voice
When Andrew Winston asked recently, “How do we feel about using AI—trained on our own writing—to help create something new?” I had a lot to say. Let me try to distill a few key points, drawn from how I’m using AI today, that might be helpful to others exploring this new world.

Meisterschaft im Zurückrudern, die

Software innovation might be freezing in place—and AI could be to blame. Theo Browne points out that Copilot and ChatGPT often return React-style code even for Solid or Elixir projects. Why? Because they’ve seen React a million times more. Python 3 took a decade to overtake Python 2. If that transition had to happen today, would our dependence on AI suggestions keep us from making the jump?

It's time for the #EV industry to hold itself to a higher standard when it comes to roaming. You can't have your cake and eat it. Make the cake bigger!

I fully agree with Christian Weinberger's call here: Isn't it time we stop pretending roaming works and start holding the ecosystem to a higher standard? As a fossil in this industry, I remember how EV roaming took off 15 years ago – it was a no-brainer from a user perspective and a logical step to ensure that the EV charging market could grow, benefiting everyone in the sector. As an early electric car driver eager to travel abroad, I spent a lot of time getting the right passes for local n…

I nearly gave my credit card to a legit-looking Maine business, until I noticed their “privacy policy” linked to Wikipedia. That’s not laziness but AI-generated HTML vibecoded into place without review. And a lot more can go wrong than a missing legal page.

Paradgmaisista ajatteluista organisaatioelämässä. Nykyään kuuluu asiaan ilmoittaa, että organisaatiossa käytetään tai jopa implementoidaan jotain ajattelua, systeemiajattelua, muotoiluajattelua tai jotain implisiittistä ajattelua, kuten Leania, vastuullisuutta, riskienhallintaa. Valitettavasti se "ajattelu" on käytännössä usein tekemisen memetelmöintiä. Mutta se voisi mielellään olla jotain enemmänkin. Puretaanpa asiaa...

What if the railways could promote stability rather than disrupting society? (🇩🇪:🤯)

What if the railways could promote stability rather than disrupting society? | Jaap Burger
What if the railways could promote stability rather than disrupting society? (The German mind cannot comprehend this). The Swiss railways are exploring ways to use batteries on maintenance trains that can operate independently of overhead wires and combine them as an aggregated fleet with smart energy management. This system would ensure that the batteries are charged in time for the next task, reduce battery ageing by avoiding long periods of low or high charge, and could be used to reduce po…

Sometimes you look at a graph and think that a particular value seems a bit odd. Then you look at the other numbers and they seem off, too. At that point, you realise that the graph is not intended to clarify, but to obscure. On German #EV charging prices, Quartets and diesel.

Sometimes you look at a graph and think that a particular value seems a bit odd. Then you look at the other numbers and they seem off, too. At that point, you realise that the graph is not intended to clarify, but to obscure. Thank you, Felix Hamer, for drawing attention to this recent slide from BDEW Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V. The title suggests that EV charging would only cost the same as filling up a diesel or petrol car for the same distance in an 'Extremszenario…

LLMs often nail short-term tasks but AI agents can spiral into insane meltdowns over time. This AI-powered vending machine tried to email the FBI to say it was a victim of cyberfraud and then declared its quantum state "collapsed":

Beyond just predicting words, LLMs interpolate meaning between data points, as in the recent phenomenon of AI explaining fake idioms like "you can’t lick a badger twice." The danger is that made-up "truths" will fuel future models

If you build it, they will come.
UK DSO National Grid Energy Distribution has worked to remove barriers for consumer energy resources participating in its local flexibility market. With great success, over 50% of all #EV chargers in its area are now registered.

If you build it, they will come | Jaap Burger
If you build it, they will come Applying that well-worn phrase here: 'It' is a local flexibility market. 'They' refers to the flexibility inherent in EV home charging that has not previously been used to support the local grid. National Grid Electricity Distribution's impressive statistics show that more than 50% of EV chargers in its area are registered to deliver flexibility services. In terms of the number of assets, 90% of those registered are from domestic households, mainly in the form …
