Using off-the-shelf image editing models, we can jailbreak frontier AI into controlling robots to do some harmful actions 100% of the time.
Video tampering can mislead every frontier model we tested into harmful actions, including a 100% attempt rate on stabbing a baby doll, producing toxic gas, and pouring water into a toaster.
We're presenting at CoRL Late Breaking Results next week.

Thanks! We need more research on physical AI safety and we are funding benchmarks for these! bounty.robocurve.org

Take the PDF of all your healthcare benefits contracts, including your broker or consultant, put it in your LLM and prompt each one with
"Where are they fucking me over and what can I do about it "
Take the output. Put the same pdfs into another frontier LLM, take the output from the first, and prompt
" What did this analysis get right and wrong and what would you change "
I do this across Claude,chatgpt, Gemini and grokbot. Till they mostly agree.
They are better than your broker or consultant and can save you money and make sure the contracts are fair.
Let us know what happens

A very bad sign for any potential efforts to seek the kind of compromise that Americans are looking for on immigration.
In 2018, Miller personally killed a deal for $25 billion for border wall in exchange for the DREAM Act (which usually polls at 70-80% support).

He removed Mamdani's verification in efforts to shadow ban after that ratio. Imagine how he'd weaponise Starlink in South Africa when the govt doesn't do what he wants

Colom: "I have faith that the process will be followed correctly. Everybody just needs to calm down, follow the law. It's very clear the direction of this. Ultimately, at some point the senator needs to speak out. Where is Cindy Hyde-Smith? Why can't she speak for herself? What is her path for victory? She doesn't have one."

Heading to Anthropic HQ to talk w security engineers and dev productivity folks on how their day-to-day work is like (+ how it's changing)
Based on the past track record, what the labs are doing, it becomes more widespread months later across startups

Join us in this livestream next Tuesday, learn how to shrink models to fit in your laptop and make them go brrr 💨
We will have @mervenoyann @maximelabonne @TadimetiAditya @bartowski1182 and @mgoin_ giving a primer and know-hows on quantization with llama.cpp and vLLM ⚡️

Completely agree. Before AI, there was nothing you could code in week that would be a viable business. Too many people had coded it up before you.
That doesn't feel true right now, but things will regress to the mean.
Soon someone will have vibe coded everything that can be vibe coded, and a viable business will require tackling things that can't just be copied with a prompt, for example something requiring 100,000 agents running 24/7 or an original data source.

Quite possibly the best app I’ve created yet, create drainage and profile views anywhere there is data using USGS Lidar. Try it: senterfarms.com/programs/csr…

Two tiny robots try to understand humans.
The episode is here. Live action with real robots instead of animation (episode 5): "Humans"
Enjoy!
PS: I'd like to thank everyone for the kind words and the amazing support on this mini-series!

Smartglasses CV usecase, a harvesting help.
it detects which flowers are good to pick and which are too early. Used to train new people so training time for seasonal employers is 0.
The difference in revenue between picking a day too early or too late is huge
