Evolutionary Design/TDD has, for me, been an adaptive response to uncertainty (even anxiety!) I have felt while trying to write software.

Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large Language Models
We present evidence that adversarial poetry functions as a universal single-turn jailbreak technique for Large Language Models (LLMs). Across 25 frontier proprietary and open-weight models, curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90%. Mapping prompts to MLCommons and EU CoP risk taxonomies shows that poetic attacks transfer across CBRN, manipulation, cyber-offence, and loss-of-control domains. Converting 1,200 MLCommons harmful prompts into verse via a standardized meta-prompt produced ASRs up to 18 times higher than their prose baselines. Outputs are evaluated using an ensemble of 3 open-weight LLM judges, whose binary safety assessments were validated on a stratified human-labeled subset. Poetic framing achieved an average jailbreak success rate of 62% for hand-crafted poems and approximately 43% for meta-prompt conversions (compared to non-poetic baselines), substantially outperforming non-poetic baselines and revealing a systematic vulnerability across model families and safety training approaches. These findings demonstrate that stylistic variation alone can circumvent contemporary safety mechanisms, suggesting fundamental limitations in current alignment methods and evaluation protocols.
AI6YR BenAP: ‘A day without fear': Chicagoans buy out street vendors amid immigration crackdown
CHICAGO (AP) — The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods and stopping at tamale carts, elote stands and candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food and deliver it to shelters and families in need.

Chicago cyclists buy out tamale carts to aid families during immigration crackdown
Across Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods, fear of a federal immigration crackdown has emptied the streets. More than 3,200 arrests have been made in the Chicago metropolitan area since the start of Operation Midway Blitz. Sales have plummeted and street corners that once bustled with paleteros, tamale vendors and fruit sellers now sit quiet. But as fear spread, so did something else — neighbors stepping up to find creative ways to help vendors and restaurant owners. One grassroots effort involves organized buyouts of every last item at shops in areas where federal agents are operating.
ESOFor the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a star’s explosion at its earliest stage.
The feat was achieved by ESO's Very Large Telescope just a day after the detection of this supernova, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.
This brief initial phase wouldn’t have been observable a day later. This will help shed light on how massive stars go supernova.

TattieI studied Artificial Intelligence for four years, and I am not touching LLM AIs with a ten-foot pole.
It's not really about the insane electricity demands, the water usage, tho that's a good reason. It's not even, if I'm honest, about the disastrous effect on the sum of all human art and knowledge.
It's because a) I've studied enough AI to know it's a trick, a sort of linguistic illusion, and b) I've studied enough everything else to understand that I'm not immune to such illusions.
@lufthans sup friend. Long time. Glad you’re still around. 😁
I come from a very patriotic family. I can trace direct lineage to John DeVoe, 16 year old revolutionary war soldier who was bayoneted by redcoats and lived. And George Washington DeVoe, union civil war officer. And Eli DeVoe, who prevented Abraham Lincoln’s FIRST assasination and helped in the apprehension of John Wilkes Boothe.
I am certain, all of them would agree… #nokings #nokingsday
Randahl FinkGrowing up, I really enjoyed reading about The American Revolution, where free people finally had enough of the oppressive king, and decided to kick his soldiers out of their cities.
I just never expected to relive it.
