More Than 100,000 American Kids Have Had a Parent Detained in Immigration Sweeps, Report Estimates
Since the Trump administration doesn’t track how many children have been separated from their parents by immigration detention, a Brookings report tried to calculate it — and it cited ProPublica’s reporting.cengiz.yar@propublica.org (ProPublica)
I was only made aware of this (frankly awesome) case of LLM poisoning today: nature.com/articles/d41586-026…. A researcher made up a disease and published two evidently fake preprints about it (including sentences such as “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”), which were almost immediately picked up by LLMs and documented in their output. Worse, actual – supposedly serious – medical papers also started citing the preprints, demonstrating that academics relying on LLMs to do their work is a genuine problem! Not that I had my doubts but, if anyone did, this seems like the perfect demonstration of the problem. Article immediately added to the syllabus of the class I am co-teaching with Iris Ferrazzo on LLMs for Romance Studies/Humanities!

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real
Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?Stokel-Walker, Chris

Friends, I need your help: if you have 5 minutes to spare, could you answer a few questions on how you perceive some pattern drawings?
That would be super helpful for me! Thanks so much!

Researchers just mathematically proved that AI can't recursively self-improve its way to superintelligence.
Not "we think it's unlikely." Not "it seems hard." Formally proved.
The model doesn't climb toward AGI — it slowly forgets what reality looks like. They call it model collapse. The math calls it inevitable.

AI Cannot Self Improve and Math behind PROVES IT! - devsimsek's Blog
A formal proof shows AI training on self-generated data leads to collapse, not AGI. Here's what that means and why it matters.devsimsek (devsimsek's Blog)
