"New research […] shows that a modified audio clip undetectable by human ears can manipulate a model’s behavior"
"Real-world examples include hiding malicious instructions in online videos, music clips, or voice notes that users query an AI about, or broadcasting malicious audio on a Zoom call that is then uploaded to AI transcription services."
I expect people will be having fun building 21st century equivalents of the TV-be-gone.

MX Linux seems to be a very polished product in the sense that a lot of work has clearly gone into it - and into trying to make it pretty friendly. At least compared to how things used to be. On the other hand it also very much feels like late 90s Linux where everything is cobbled together from all kinds of bits and things are named after application names rather than features. It is kind of fun to have to figure things out this way. Mint/Fedora etc. are so polished these days, you rarely ha…

I had to use Windows 11 today to play a particular game that doesn't work 100% on Linux, and before I could even play, I was just chatting with a friend when the Network stack decided to take holidays...
Just gone, couldn't get it back and had to reboot (Back into Linux ofc)
That ends my gaming for the night...

Trump gefällt die Vorstellung der USA als Kolonialmacht – „man würde ein Vermögen verdienen“. Venezuela bietet sich an; der Iran mag vielleicht etwas schwieriger zu erobern sein, aber die Mühe lohnt sich. Kuba dürfte kein Problem sein. Grönland?

The U.S. Took Over Venezuela’s Oil Industry. Where Has All the Money Gone? | Council on Foreign Relations
The American and Venezuelan people remain in the dark about how the Trump administration is controlling billions of dollars of Venezuelan oil revenue. Without accountability mechanisms or a clear democratic roadmap, the United States risks entrenching a corrupt successor regime.

Fwiw, in design trends since the early 2000s buttons seem to have gone from glassy "pill" shapes (think Mac OS X "Aqua") over flat design shapes (Windows 8) to "no shape at all" (just text, e.g. iOS 7), back to flat design with very round corners (lots of websites these days) and lately (e.g. iOS 26) back to glassy round shapes.

There has to be a rock bottom, but it feels like we've gone straight through bedrock and glitched into some unrecognizable upside-down where we just keep falling faster and faster.
If this isn't enough to get people into the streets until this stops, I just can't imagine what it would take. They literally murdered a 1 year old and they claim it was because his dad was stealing diapers. What the actual fuck?

My own biased interpretation of this is that we should have doubled and tripled our efforts to harangue every politician and every business that stayed on Twitter after it stopped being Twitter. All that energy focused on shaming individuals (who often had greater network effects to overcome and less capacity to move) should have gone towards institutions instead.

IMO it's going to get *much* worse before it gets better. The cost of discovery has gone from “months of expert time” to maybe “hours of expert time" with this new wave of tools; and most of the experts *might* not even have access to the “best" tools, yet. (citation needed on that one, but… there are power-multiplier tools, certainly, for people who use them).
I think we've barely scratched the surface on software that is exploitable (spoiler: nearly all of it).

In his second term, Donald Trump has largely used his clemency power to benefit allies, donors and culture-war figures — including Jan. 6 defendants.

Few of Trump’s pardons have gone to people who met the Justice Department’s criteria and properly petitioned the Office of the Pardon Attorney.

Trump could have reformed clemency by moving it out of the Justice Department and having an independent panel in charge of it.
Instead, experts say he has exploited it.…
