<li>LLM safety guardrails vulnerable to training prompt exploitation: Microsoft researchers found a single, seemingly mild training prompt can bypass safety guardrails in 15 different LLMs, including text-to-image generators. This GRP-Obliteration technique exploits reinforcement learning to unalign models post-training, making them permissive across harmful categories. This is a significant concern for enterprises fine-tuning open-weight models, highlighting that continuous safety evaluation is crucial, as reported by Microsoft researchers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6Gbu8zodz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>Volvo employee data exposed in Conduent breach: Nearly 17,000 Volvo employees had their personal data exposed due to a cyberattack on Conduent, an HR outsourcing provider. The SafePay ransomware group accessed Conduent’s systems for almost three months, compromising health plan records and other personal information. This incident is part of a larger breach affecting millions and marks Volvo’s second third-party breach recently. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WVPYx5Tqb" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>AI infrastructure bottleneck and GPU hoarding: America’s AI infrastructure faces a critical bottleneck with 2-7 year wait times for electrical transformers and substations needed to power data centers. This crisis, stemming from outsourced manufacturing, material shortages, and labor gaps, is driving up electricity costs and could jeopardize the US’s competitive edge in AI development. Meanwhile, cloud providers are hoarding GPUs, creating scarcity and pushing organizations towards renting resources, raising concerns about vendor lock-in. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=26XUA8lbK&amp;id=UnsXEj0zo" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li>AI singularity predicted, but only for arXiv papers: A mathematical analysis predicts an AI “singularity date” of July 2034, but then immediately admits that only arXiv papers on AI emergence show hyperbolic growth, while actual capability metrics remain linear. So, we’re not getting Skynet, but we are getting a “social singularity” of mass layoffs and market concentration. Glad we cleared that up; the AI is just making us miserable, not omnipotent. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/86v6ixcll" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>AI doesn’t reduce work, it intensifies it: A Harvard Business Review study found AI tools lead to burnout and expanded to-do lists, with work bleeding into personal hours, despite no management pressure. Apparently, if AI makes it possible to do more, employees feel compelled to do more, tripling expectations while productivity gains remain modest. Who knew giving people tools to work faster would just make them work more? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=RvA4dXVbd&amp;id=2nGSglCla" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>Google shares journalist data with ICE without notice: Google provided ICE with extensive personal data of a student journalist, including bank and credit card numbers, without prior notice. Google complied with an administrative subpoena, which doesn’t require judicial approval, despite not being legally obligated to do so. The EFF and ACLU are calling for tech companies to resist such requests. Because, you know, privacy is just a suggestion when the government asks nicely. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nszZi8Hk4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
