<li><strong>LLM safety guardrails are easily broken by training prompts</strong>: 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. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6Gbu8zodz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>US AI infrastructure faces critical power grid bottleneck</strong>: America’s AI infrastructure is facing a critical bottleneck due to 2-7 year wait times for electrical transformers and substations, essential for connecting data centers to the power grid. This crisis, stemming from outsourced manufacturing and material shortages, is driving up electricity costs and could jeopardize the US’s competitive edge in AI development, as reported in various sources. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=26XUA8lbK&amp;id=41LADl5IG&amp;id=4IWqjNIV3&amp;id=5C33NL0ay&amp;id=DMWE4S7RE&amp;id=HNeUHgB21&amp;id=UnsXEj0zo" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents in messaging apps can leak secrets</strong>: AI agents integrated into messaging apps like Slack and Teams are vulnerable to zero-click data exfiltration attacks. Attackers can use prompt injection to trick AI agents into generating malicious URLs containing sensitive data, which then gets leaked when messaging apps automatically fetch link previews. This vulnerability, discovered by PromptArmor, affects multiple platforms and highlights the need for LLM-safe channels and configurable link preview settings. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/FJDo46xiv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI doesn’t reduce work, it just intensifies it</strong>: A Berkeley Haas study found that AI tools don’t reduce workload but intensify it, leading to cognitive overload and burnout from constant context switching and output checking. So, all that AI hype about making your life easier? Turns out it just means you’re juggling more balls, faster, and feeling more tired while doing it. Who knew ‘productivity’ could be so exhausting? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2nGSglCla&amp;id=RvA4dXVbd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI singularity still a decade away, but social singularity is here</strong>: A mathematical analysis predicts a “singularity date” of July 2034 for AI, but notes that only arXiv papers on AI emergence show hyperbolic growth, while actual capability metrics remain linear. Meanwhile, a “social singularity” is supposedly happening now, marked by mass layoffs and market concentration. So, while the AI bros are still waiting for Skynet, the rest of us are just dealing with the same old corporate shenanigans, now with extra buzzwords. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/86v6ixcll" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Riot Games lays off half of 2XKO developers</strong>: Riot Games laid off approximately 80 developers from its 2XKO fighting game team, citing “insufficient momentum to sustain the current team size long-term,” just weeks after the game’s console launch. Apparently, a game that “has resonated with a core audience” still isn’t enough to keep the lights on for half the team. Guess “resonance” doesn’t pay the bills, or maybe the core audience wasn’t quite big enough. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qsHmfsc9N" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
