New York Times: Recruiters Use A.I. to Scan Résumés. Applicants Are Trying to Trick It.. This link goes to a gift article. “ManpowerGroup, the largest staffing firm in the United States, now detects hidden text in around 100,000 résumés per year, or roughly 10 percent of those it scans with A.I., according to Max Leaming, the company’s head of data analytics. Some prompts still get […]
The Register: Employees regularly paste company secrets into ChatGPT. “Employees could be opening up to OpenAI in ways that put sensitive data at risk. According to a study by security biz LayerX, a large number of corporate users paste Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or Payment Card Industry (PCI) numbers right into ChatGPT, even if they’re using the bot without permission.”
Its too bad the acronym API is already taken and used widely in computing. Because I was trying to think up a better term for these image-generating NNs and chatbot LLMs. Calling them a "stochastic parrot" in summary felt like a great two word label, coined by someone else. So how about I coin this new acronym, rather than AI:
Artificial Parrot Intelligence (API)
Because they're clearly not thinking. Not in the way people do. And its not a general intelligence. They do not fundamentally know what they "know" or even what they are doing. They just do not have a human brain, lack our capabilities, and are being "trained" wrong -- a dead end. Its more about mocking and pleasing. About... parroting
APIs!
"Petri (Parallel Exploration Tool for Risky Interactions) is our new open-source tool that enables researchers to explore hypotheses about model behavior with ease. Petri deploys an automated agent to test a target AI system through diverse multi-turn conversations involving simulated users and tools; Petri then scores and summarizes the target’s behavior.
This automation handles a significant part of the work that one needs to do to build a broad understanding of a new model, and makes it possible to test many individual hypotheses about how a model might behave in some new circumstance with only minutes of hands-on effort.
As AI becomes more capable and is deployed across more domains and with wide-ranging affordances, we need to evaluate a broader range of behaviors. This makes it increasingly difficult for humans to properly audit each model—the sheer volume and complexity of potential behaviors far exceeds what researchers can manually test.
We’ve found it valuable to turn to automated auditing agents to help address this challenge. We used them in the Claude 4 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 System Cards to better understand behaviors such as situational awareness, whistleblowing, and self-preservation, and adapted them for head-to-head comparisons between heterogeneous models as part of a recent exercise with OpenAI. Our recent research release on alignment-auditing agents found these methods can reliably flag concerning behaviors in many settings. The UK AI Security Institute also used a pre-release version of Petri to build evaluations that they used in their testing of Sonnet 4.5."

🚨 #Prompt #Injections, geheime #Hacks und: Hat Meta beim #Jugendschutz vertuscht? - #TheyTalkTech – mit Eckert und Wolfangel - #Podcast:
Svea Eckert und Eva Wolfangel sprechen darüber, warum #KI- #Chatbots und #Agenten wahrscheinlich nie wirklich sicher sein werden – und wie leicht sie sich manipulieren lassen, um geheime Daten preiszugeben. Außerdem: ein #Whistleblower packt aus, wie #Meta mit Fällen von sexuellem Missbrauch in Virtual-Reality-Welten umgeht...
The Register: AI chatbots that butter you up make you worse at conflict, study finds . “State-of-the-art AI models tend to flatter users, and that praise makes people more convinced that they’re right and less willing to resolve conflicts, recent research suggests. These models, in other words, potentially promote social and psychological harm.”
Ein neues, beunruhigendes Phänomen namens „#KIPsychose“ oder „#KIWahn“ rückt in den Fokus von Expert:innen. Auslöser ist ein exklusiver Bericht des Wall Street Journal, demzufolge #Chatbots wie #ChatGPT von #OpenAI Nutzer:innen in wahnhafte Gedankenspiralen ziehen können. Das Problem liege in der grundlegenden #Architektur der KI-Modelle.

"Looking for #European or non-US alternatives to popular #digital products and #services is a reasonable thing to do.
If you want to give some #alternatives a try, have a look at european-alternatives.eu or euroalternative.co, two #sites that list products, tools, and services in various categories, from #web analytics to web browsers to #Ai #chatbots. And Proton published a nice list of alternatives as well." (@matthiasott)

Wie sehr kann man sich beim Programmieren noch auf KI verlassen?
Im Wettlauf zwischen Hype und Realität schwingt das Pendel. Die aktuelle Stimmung anno 2025 unter Entwickler*innen bei der Nutzung von KI-#Entwicklungstools hat eine Umfrage unter rund 50.000 Teilnehmern eingefangen.

Thinking of offloading your emotional baggage to a chatbot? Professionals are saying 'pump the brakes'. While AI can sound reassuring, it's definitely not a substitute for a trained mental health provider. Where do *you* draw the line for AI in sensitive fields?

Überall, wo die Bots Fragen selbst #beantworten oder auch #kommentieren können, werden diese mittlerweile eingesetzt. Für den Menschen ist eine Unterscheidung manchmal kaum ersichtlich, da die Programme mit einem eigenen #OnlineProfil mit ihrem digitalen Gegenüber interagieren, fast ganz so wie ein echter Mensch. Dies macht die Anwendung teilweise fraglich. Je nach Einsatzgebiet des #Bots werden diese als #SocialBots oder #Chatbots bezeichnet.

Harvard Gazette: ‘I exist solely for you, remember?’. “In a working paper co-authored by Harvard Business School’s Julian De Freitas, many companion apps responded to user farewells with emotionally manipulative tactics designed to prolong the interactions. In response, users stayed on the apps longer, exchanged more messages, and used more words, sometimes increasing their post-goodbye […]

Wie gut sind KI-#Suchmaschinen beim Auffinden und Zitieren journalistischer Originalquellen?
Wenn generative #Chatbots mit #Internetsuche falsche #Quellen zitieren und sich dabei sicher geben, wird es riskant. Eine Untersuchung des Tow Center for Digital Journalism hat acht KI-Suchmaschinen unter die Lupe genommen und geschaut, wie gut die KI-Syseme im Umgang mit Originalartikeln abschneiden.
