You may be tempted to think of prompt injection attacks against language models as "social engineering." Resist this temptation.

“Transgender for everybody”, but unironically. As in, spend some time deconstructing your gender and then actively choose what gender roles and expressions you actually do and don’t want to perform. Deconstruct your sexuality too. Deconstruct your religion. Deconstruct anything you were indoctrinated into so you can be authentically you

Ah, yes, Apple, which conveniently provides "NSNotFound" as a constant returned when a function that returns an index into an array of data has no valid results.
Except when that function returns -1. Or something else out of range.

CNN: Judge orders Kilmar Abrego Garcia be released from ICE custody ‘immediately’ (and this feels like "again").

According to new research, published by Aurascape's Aura Labs on Dec. 8, threat actors are "systematically manipulating public web content" in what the team has dubbed large language model (LLM) phone number poisoning.
