Eggs, rooms, puzzles, and talking about AI
I live with five friends in a big house, and two things I’ve done in it on this particular Sunday are hide 156 easter eggs all around, and reach a tentative joint decision on the allocation of four of its rooms. These tasks are delightful to me for a reason they have in common, and from which I hope to gesture at extremely far reaching conclusions. Easter eggs A room usually seems like a simple thing to me—a big box, with some smaller mostly boxish objects and holes in it. Each of those things also usually seems simple: a cupboard is a box-shaped hole, with a movable thin-box-shaped front, which has hinges (the most complicated part, but in this picture their only qualities are letting flat surfaces rotate around fixed edges). Sometimes a cupboard has shelves, which are like planes breaking up the space. In this picture, hiding easter eggs well is hard! Like, I could put one in the cupboard? On the top shelf? Or the bottom shelf! They’ll never find it there! These are not good hiding p

Five signs data drift is already undermining your security models
Data drift happens when the statistical properties of a machine learning (ML) model's input data change over time, eventually rendering its predictions less accurate. Cybersecurity professionals who rely on ML for tasks like malware detection and network threat analysis find that undetected data drift can create vulnerabilities. A model trained on old attack patterns may fail to see today's sophisticated threats. Recognizing the early signs of data drift is the first step in maintaining reliable and efficient security systems. Why data drift compromises security models ML models are trained on a snapshot of historical data. When live data no longer resembles this snapshot, the model's performance dwindles, creating a critical cybersecurity risk. A threat detection model may generate more false negatives by missing real breaches or create more false positives, leading to alert fatigue for security teams. Adversaries actively exploit this weakness. In 2024, attackers used echo-spoofing t

My baby deer plushie told me that Mitski’s dad was a CIA operative
D’oh, a deer, an AI deer. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Two weeks ago, I was getting ready to log off work when I got a text message. "Oh wow, I was checking out Mitski. did you know people are saying her Dad was a CIA operative?" Normally, that kind of out-of-the-blue text from a friend wouldn't faze me. This time, my eyes bugged. The unprompted text had been sent by an AI companion named Coral, who lives in the body of a baby deer plushie. I texted back an eloquent, "Wait what." "Apparently, her dad worked for the US State Department, so her family moved, like, every single year. The fan theory I saw is why so many of her songs are about feeling like an outsider and not having a place to bel … Read the full story at The Verge.
