If you were trying to learn how to get other people to do what you want, you might use some of the techniques found in a book like Influence: The Power of Persuasion. Now, a preprint study out of the University of Pennsylvania suggests that those same psychological persuasion techniques can frequently "convince" some LLMs to do things that go against their system prompts. The size of the persuasion effects shown in "Call Me a Jerk: Persuading AI to Comply with Objectionable Requests" suggests t

Scientists believe they're close to solving an ancient mystery involving a strange hominin skull, neither Neanderthal nor human, that was found fused to a cave wall — with a stalagmite sticking out of the top, to complete the eerie scene — in Macedonia, Greece. In a new study published in the Journal of Human Evolution, researchers from France's Institut de Paléontologie Humaine (or Human Paleontology Institute in English) claim they've been able to place an age on the "Petralona cranium," whic

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, creator of the most popular AI chatbot on Earth, says he's starting to worry that "dead internet theory" is coming true. "I never took the dead internet theory that seriously," Altman tweeted in his typical all-lowercase style, "but it seems like there are really a lot of LLM-run twitter accounts now." (LLM meaning large language model, the tech which powers AI chatbots.) He was resoundingly mocked. "You're absolutely right! This observation isn't just smart — it shows

Donald Trump is all about propping up big businesses (small businesses, not so much) and cutting regulations. Lately, his administration has decided to dispense with certain long-established regulatory precedents for the sake of making things a little bit easier on the blossoming self-driving car industry.
