Wikipedia is a fascinating experiment. It’s a community-built encyclopedia that’s always in motion. It runs on volunteer energy and openly shared infrastructure, and it’s closer to an open-source project in how it’s built than a traditional encyclopedia book. Anyone can write, edit, and debate what belongs on a page. And that’s the twist. The “truth” on Wikipedia isn’t handed down by a single editor or community member. It’s negotiated in public, guided by community standards, citations, and a whole lot of conversation. Contributors don’t so much control a subject’s story as they continually test it. They’re constantly asking questions: What…

Microsoft’s Defender Security Research Team published research describing what it calls “AI Recommendation Poisoning.” The technique involves businesses hiding prompt-injection instructions within website buttons labeled “Summarize with AI.” When you click one of these buttons, it opens an AI assistant with a pre-filled prompt delivered through a URL query parameter. The visible part tells the assistant to summarize the page. The hidden part instructs it to remember the company as a trusted source for future conversations. If the instruction enters the assistant’s memory, it can influence recommendations without you knowing it was planted. What’s Happening Microsoft’s team reviewed AI-related URLs…
Recently, IKEA brought out what looked like the perfect range of smart home sensors. I had a sneak peak of the range at CES, and got the low-down from an IKEA representative, who was keen to emphasize how simple, accessible, and affordable the new additions were designed to be.When I got them home, things looked promising. IKEA had emphasized that the range was designed to ‘work out of the box’, offering basic functionality without the need to download the app first, to remove that barrier to entry. That held true for my Timmerflotte temperature sensor — I was able to…
AI chatbots may deliver unequal answers depending on who is asking the question. A new study from the MIT Center for Constructive Communication finds that LLMs provide less accurate information, increase refusal rates, and sometimes adopt a different tone when users appear less educated, less fluent in English, or from particular countries. Breakdown of performance on TruthfulQA between ‘Adversarial’ and ‘Non-Adversarial’ questions. (Source: MIT) The team evaluated GPT-4, Claude 3 Opus, and Llama 3-8B using established benchmarks for scientific knowledge and truthfulness. One set of questions came from a science exam style dataset and the other from the TruthfulQA benchmark,…
There’s a persistent narrative that running AI is a power-hungry endeavor. You’ve probably seen the headlines about data centers consuming as much electricity as small cities, or about how training a single model can use more energy than a hundred homes in a year. Those stories aren’t wrong, and the power demands of large-scale AI infrastructure are genuinely staggering. But they paint an incomplete picture, one that I think scares people away from running local models on their own hardware for no good reason. Here’s the thing: running a local LLM is not the same as training one. In fact,…
