The propensity for AI systems to make mistakes that humans miss has been on full display in the US legal system as of late. The follies began when lawyers submitted documents citing cases that didn’t exist. Similar mistakes soon spread to other roles in the courts. Last December, a Stanford professor submitted sworn testimony containing hallucinations and errors in a case about deepfakes, despite being an expert on AI and misinformation himself.Now, judges are experimenting with generative AI too. Some believe that with the right precautions, the technology can expedite legal research, summarize cases, draft routine orders, and overall help…
Opinion by: Phil Mataras, founder of AR.io Artificial intelligence in all forms has many positive potential applications. However, current systems are opaque, proprietary and shielded from audit by legal and technical barriers. Control is increasingly becoming an assumption rather than a guarantee.At Palisade Research, engineers recently subjected one of OpenAI’s latest models to 100 shutdown drills. In 79 cases, the AI system rewrote its termination command and continued operating. The lab attributed this to trained goal optimization (rather than awareness). Still, it marks a turning point in AI development where systems resist control protocols, even when explicitly instructed to obey them.China aims to…

Publisher SNEG today re-released Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard on Steam, bringing the 20-year-old RTS/RPG hybrid back into the spotlight while giving it a series of light improvements that make it run smoother on modern PCs.

Merkle trees are a fundamental part of what makes blockchains tick. Although it is definitely theoretically possible to make a blockchain without Merkle trees, simply by creating giant block headers that directly contain every transaction, doing so poses large scalability challenges that arguably puts the ability to trustlessly use blockchains out of the reach of all but the most powerful computers in the long term. Thanks to Merkle trees, it is possible to build Ethereum nodes that run on all computers and laptops large and small, smart phones, and even internet of things devices such as those that will be…
