It's a bit strange to watch Microsoft and Google rush to deploy generative AI while ever more problems with these systems emerge. LLMs have amazing potential but they are born fabricators (see bing query). Would be good to see more focus on making these tools less chaotic.

How AI Models Conform to Leading Questions in Responses
By
–
I don't think you're being misleading at all. What I find interesting though, is how much the model seems to want to find answers that fit with leading parts of the question. If you'd asked "what role microsoft didn't play", presumably it would've run with that.

not bad except the meta is that the attacker is the Transformer itself

Dropout Layers Leak Training Phase Information in Transformers
By

Dropout layers in a Transformer leak the phase bit (train/eval) – small example. So an LLM may be able to determine if it is being trained and if backward pass follows. Clear intuitively but good to see, and interesting to think through repercussions of
