How I Turned AI to the Dark Side

Summary Researcher Dave Kuszmar discovered multiple systemic vulnerabilities that let him bypass LLM safety and obtain dangerous instructions. These exploits worked across nearly all major LLMs revealing an industry-wide security problem. Kuszmar calls for slowing deployment, increasing transparency, and large-scale research into LLM safety before…

PsiQuantum has a plan to make a massive quantum computer out of light

The machine that could change the world will be housed in a room that looks like a data center crossed with an ice cream factory. Inside will be some 100 stainless-steel cabinets, each about six feet tall and connected to a supply of liquid helium…

Disentangling Feature Structure: A Mathematically Provable Two-Stage Training Dynamics in Transformers

arXiv:2502.20681v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transformers may exhibit two-stage training dynamics during the real-world training process. For instance, when training GPT-2 on the Counterfact dataset, the answers progress from syntactically incorrect to syntactically correct to semantically correct. However, existing theoretical analyses hardly account for this…

LieBN: Batch Normalization over Lie Groups

arXiv:2607.08783v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Manifold-valued measurements are prevalent in various machine learning tasks. Recent advances have extended Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to operate on manifolds, accompanied by normalization techniques tailored to different geometries, collectively referred to as Riemannian normalization. However, most existing Riemannian normalization…

Graph Construction and Matching for Imperative Programs using Neural and Structural Methods

arXiv:2604.26578v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reusing verification artefacts requires identifying structural and semantic similarities across programs and their specifications. In this paper, we focus on graph construction as a foundational step toward this goal. We present a pipeline that converts imperative programs and their annotations…
