Interesting LLM nuance: why does using phrases like "you're a pen-tester" cause chatbots to emit substantially different predictions, and basically "follow" that instruction? Because of how LLMs work, this implies that the training data has plenty of examples where real humans told each other that they were some role and the humans just immediately jumped into that role without question or intervening dialogue. But that's not something people do in normal conversation. Even in playing-with-kids contexts if you drop that out of the blue you're probably going to get "no I want to be a robot" or "but you were the elephant last time!" rather than immediate assumption of the assigned role.
It's possible that training LLMs to predict immediate role-assumption is something the big models spent a lot of manual effort on. But what I think is more likely is: it's the legacy of role-play forums! All those reams of pages of teenagers (yes, often horny) pretending to be Captain Kirk or their own incredibly cringe "cool" character (but honestly, why call it cringe, let kids be kids and have fun)...
So next time you "tell" a chatbot "you're a..." to get it to do what you want, I'm pretty sure you have an RP forum teen from the past to thank :)

Claude Opus 4.6 has added value for finding vulnerabilities, ofcourse it is Anthropic telling you to buy Anthropic 🙂 , still a well documented blog that makes it plausible that LLMs have a role to play here, as also confirmed in other blogs/with other models.
Bughunting is one of the those functionalities where the weaknesses of GenAI are not a problem. All agree, this is not only a hype.

The key growth opportunity in heavy-duty vehicle electrification lies in the integration (or symbiotic combination) of routing, financing, access, energy, contract, and fleet management.

From synthetic turbulence to true solutions: A deep diffusion model for discovering periodic orbits in the Navier-Stokes equations

Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence has shown remarkable success in synthesizing data that mimic complex real-world systems, but its potential role in the discovery of mathematically meaningful structures in physical models remains underexplored. In this work, we demonstrate how a generative diffusion model can be used to uncover previously unknown solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation: the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in a turbulent regime. Trained on data from a direct numerical simulation of turbulence, the model learns to generate time series that resemble physically plausible trajectories. By carefully modifying the temporal structure of the model and enforcing the symmetries of the governing equations, we produce synthetic trajectories that are periodic in time, despite the fact that the training data did not contain periodic trajectories. These synthetic trajectories are then refined into true solutions using an iterative solver, yielding 111 new periodic orbits (POs) with very short periods. Our results reveal a previously unobserved richness in the PO structure of this system and suggest a broader role for generative AI: not as replacements for simulation and existing solvers, but as a complementary tool for navigating the complex solution spaces of nonlinear dynamical systems.

Courtroom-Style Multi-Agent Debate with Progressive RAG and Role-Switching for Controversial Claim Verification

arxiv.org/abs/2603.28488 arxiv.org/pdf/2603.28488 arxiv.org/html/2603.28488
arXiv:2603.28488v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) remain unreliable for high-stakes claim verification due to hallucinations and shallow reasoning. While retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and multi-agent debate (MAD) address this, they are limited by one-pass retrieval and unstructured debate dynamics. We propose a courtroom-style multi-agent framework, PROClaim, that reformulates verification as a structured, adversarial deliberation. Our approach integrates specialized roles (e.g., Plaintiff, Defense, Judge) with Progressive RAG (P-RAG) to dynamically expand and refine the evidence pool during the debate. Furthermore, we employ evidence negotiation, self-reflection, and heterogeneous multi-judge aggregation to enforce calibration, robustness, and diversity. In zero-shot evaluations on the Check-COVID benchmark, PROClaim achieves 81.7% accuracy, outperforming standard multi-agent debate by 10.0 percentage points, with P-RAG driving the primary performance gains ( 7.5 pp). We ultimately demonstrate that structural deliberation and model heterogeneity effectively mitigate systematic biases, providing a robust foundation for reliable claim verification. Our code and data are publicly available at github.com/mnc13/PROClaim.

Two-dimensional IR-Raman spectroscopy of vibrational polaritons: Role of dipole surfaces
Xinwei Ji, Tomislav Begusic, Tao E. Li
arxiv.org/abs/2603.24521 arxiv.org/pdf/2603.24521 arxiv.org/html/2603.24521

Abstract: Nonlinear spectroscopy provides a unique perspective to understand time-resolved molecular dynamics under vibrational strong coupling (VSC). Herein, equilibrium-nonequilibrium cavity molecular dynamics simulations are performed to compute the two-dimensional (2D) infrared-infrared-Raman (IIR) spectroscopy of liquid water under VSC. In conventional computational chemistry practices, accurate molecular spectra are often constructed by using an advanced molecular dipole or polarizability model to post-process molecular dynamics trajectories evolved under a computationally efficient potential. By contrast, this work highlights the necessity of employing a consistent dipole surface model in both CavMD simulations and spectroscopic post-processing. While utilizing inconsistent dipole models only mildly influences the linear polariton spectrum, it severely distorts 2D spectra in wide frequency regions. With a consistent dipole-induced-dipole model, compared to the outside-cavity molecular 2D-IIR spectrum, the cavity 2D-IIR spectrum splits the OH stretch band to a pair of polariton branches along only the IR (not Raman) axis, while fading molecular signals at other frequency regions. This work provides the foundation for employing direct CavMD simulations to construct 2D spectra of realistic molecules under VSC.
