Innocence in the Crossfire: Roles of Skip Connections in Jailbreaking Visual Language Models
Language models are highly sensitive to prompt formulations - small changes in input can drastically alter their output. This raises a critical question: To what extent can prompt sensitivity be exploited to generate inapt content? In this paper, we investigate how discrete components of prompt design influence the generation of inappropriate content in Visual Language Models (VLMs). Specifically, we analyze the impact of three key factors on successful jailbreaks: (a) the inclusion of detailed…

From LLMs to MLLMs to Agents: A Survey of Emerging Paradigms in Jailbreak Attacks and Defenses within LLM Ecosystem
Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly evolving from single-modal systems to multimodal LLMs and intelligent agents, significantly expanding their capabilities while introducing increasingly severe security risks. This paper presents a systematic survey of the growing complexity of jailbreak attacks and corresponding defense mechanisms within the expanding LLM ecosystem. We first trace the developmental trajectory from LLMs to MLLMs and Agents, highlighting the core security challenges emergi…

"America Is Becoming the World’s Largest Tax Haven"
By Joseph E. Stiglitz

America Is Becoming the World’s Largest Tax Haven - Roosevelt Institute
Donald Trump is quickly turning the United States into the greatest tax haven in history. One need only note the Treasury Department’s mandate to withdraw from the transparency regime that shares the real identities of company owners, the administration’s withdrawal from negotiations to establish a UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation, its refusal to enforce the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and massive crypto deregulation.

Dismantling Mafia connections triggers a surge in bank credit to legitimate businesses, lifts local output, and raises productivity – although it comes with a modest uptick in borrowing costs, research shows.

Fighting the Mafia boosts bank lending and local growth
The EU is determined to clamp down on organised crime’s infiltration of legitimate businesses and banking. This column shows that dismantling Mafia connections leads to more bank credit to legitimate businesses, raising local output and productivity. It also leads to a modest increase in borrowing costs, driven by foreign and non-local banks, as they update their risk models in light of new revelations. These findings suggest that tighter crime controls can strengthen the banking system and w…

Les séquences complètes du génome de plus de 2 700 Brésiliens, récemment produites, apportent de nouvelles preuves de la violence et de l'exploitation des populations indigènes et d'origine africaine.
Par exemple, la grande majorité des lignées du chromosome Y (masculin) sont d'origine européenne (71 %), tandis que la majorité des lignées mitochondriales (féminines) sont d'origine africaine (42 %) ou indigène (35 %). (1/2)

Une exposition prolongée Š de faibles concentrations de PFAS peut perturber les fonctions cérébrales, endommager les neurones et altérer la mémoire et le comportement des souris, selon une récente recherche.
#PFAS

Common pollutant in drinking water linked to brain damage and cognitive impairment
New research in mice reveals that prolonged exposure to "forever chemicals," or PFAS, can disrupt brain function and impair memory, even at low concentrations. The findings add to growing evidence that these common chemicals may pose significant risks to brain health.
