Recently, I have had some free time and started learning some low-level computer fundamentals, trying to practice and better understand the concepts in greater detail. Along the way, I learned about a modern compiler infrastructure named LLVM, which is a target-independent optimizer and code generator that has been used as a part of many compilers for different programming languages like Rust, Zig, or Haskell.

Hallucinations in AI Models: What They Mean for Software Quality and Trust

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-11-15 15:00:57

Modern businesses are rushing to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, but this rapid integration comes with unexpected challenges. A phenomenon known as “hallucinations” occurs in large language models (LLMs) and deep learning systems and threatens software quality and trust. These hallucinations occur when AI presents false information as fact. The damage extends beyond technical failures, as user trust erodes, brand reputations suffer, and ethical questions multiply.

Nuclear fusion has seen some exciting advances, and the promise of clean, efficient energy does seem to be creeping closer to reality. But skeptics point to practical issues we may not be trying hard enough to solve—issues that will inevitably weigh down our reactors when they finally arrive.

Processing the seaweed into other consumer products is possible, but inadvisable given that the health risks of doing so have not yet been sufficiently studied. “I believe that sargassum’s purpose is to produce energy, because when it decomposes, it releases many heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium,” Amaro says. “Therefore it is better to produce biofuels or bi
