Variants of WormGPT, which was shut down by one of its creators last August, have emerged in BreachForums, another popular underground forum. Cato CTRL discovered previously unreported WormGPT variants that are powered by xAI’s Grok and Mistral AI’s Mixtral.

It's two hours out from the start of FFOTUS' imperial march in DC and it is looking like the gods disapprove and will be micturating on his parade.

Reconstructing Heterogeneous Biomolecules via Hierarchical Gaussian Mixtures and Part Discovery
Cryo-EM is a transformational paradigm in molecular biology where computational methods are used to infer 3D molecular structure at atomic resolution from extremely noisy 2D electron microscope images. At the forefront of research is how to model the structure when the imaged particles exhibit non-rigid conformational flexibility and compositional variation where parts are sometimes missing. We introduce a novel 3D reconstruction framework with a hierarchical Gaussian mixture model, inspired in…

A possible origin of the overlapping light curve of eRO-QPE1
Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are recurrent X-ray eruptions discovered so far in the nuclei of low-mass galaxies. However, despite considerable observational progress, the origin of QPEs remains unclear. A variety of models have been proposed to explain their nature, but a definitive understanding has yet to be reached. Recently, chaotic mixtures of multiple overlapping eruptions with varying amplitudes have been observed in eRO-QPE1 obs1-features not reported in any other known QPE sources. …

SHELLQs. Bridging the gap: JWST unveils obscured quasars in the most luminous galaxies at z > 6
The unprecedented sensitivity of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a surprisingly abundant population of mildly obscured, low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the epoch of reionization (EoR). However, the link between these objects and classical unobscured quasars remains a mystery. Here we report the discovery of obscured quasars hosted by the most luminous galaxies at $z > 6$, possibly bridging the gap between the two AGN populations. The 13 objects presented here…
