for you hax0rs: Google "AI" is currently vulnerable to prompt injection by "ASCII smuggling"—this is when you convert ASCII to Unicode tag characters, rendering them invisible to the user but visible to the LLM. here's how it's done:

here's someone using this to make Google Calendar display spoofed information about a meeting:
firetail.ai/blog/ghosts-in-the…

others say summarising functions were affected too, so I wonder if you can add tag texts to your website and poison the Google so-called "AI summary" anti-feature.

ChatGPT filters out tag character but, usefully, Google is refusing to, so unless they get a backlash this might be a fun exploit to explore: pivot-to-ai.com/2025/10/11/goo…

Well, well, I guess this had to happen eventually. Got my first music offer rejected by a film studio working on a documentary because "we got this covered by AI, but thank you very much for your kind offer."

The rejection itself doesn't really make me sad, this is perfectly normal and especially now the competition is huge. What makes me sad though is that this is a pretty big name in the industry, so it'll only get worse from here on. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

The NATO phonetic alphabet that we use today had numerous permutations along the way.
This video chronicles that development.

Alpha said “Bravo, Charlie” and Delta Echoed the sentiment. We danced the Foxtrot at one of those Golf Hotels (it was in India) when Juliet (who had put
on a few Kilos) gave a Lima bean to Mike. Last November, Oscar’s Papa went to Quebec to meet Romeo. He wore a Sierra and Tango coloured Uniform. Meanwhile
Victor drank Whiskey as he looked at the X-ray of the Yankee, whose arm was broken by a Zulu.

The Best Press Release Writing Principals in AI era


Stumble upon this brilliant article that I think everyone can learn from it

For people working with media and PR, it's quite easy to spot AI generated press releases. AI output is wordy, repeating to the point of annoying. Without human revision, it's hard to read.

But even before the AI era, many press releases are full of jargons that are quite difficult to read.
The reason is simple and cleverly pointed out by this article I read on PR News Releaser: “Think Like a Reader” is the Best Press Release Strategy -- ... they’re written for the wrong audience... disconnect between what companies want to say and what readers actually want to read.

How true is that.

Even highly educated people would appreciate a press release written in simple words and clear explanations, not just generic self-praising, self-promotion sentences.

The article also provide clever strategies on how to convince your boss that writing to the reader is the right way to compose a press release. Check it out.

I am being slightly disingenuous here.

Some of the many advantages of LLMs over SO is that the LLM is friendly and fast.

That's why Kids Today™ prefer Discord to forums. Someone replies immediately. You don't have to wait for an answer and check back.

LLMs are rarely rude. It can be terrifying to make yourself vulnerable and admit in public you don't know something basic. Especially when humans are mean and judgemental.

Everyone knows the weekends are the best time to push important updates, right?

From Jeep Wrangler forum: Did anyone else have a loss of drive power after today's OTA Uconnect update?

On my drive home I abruptly had absolutely no acceleration, the gear indicator on the dash started flashing, the power mode indicator disappeared, an alert said shift into park and press the brake + start button, and the check engine light and red wrench lights came on. I was still able to steer and brake with power steering and brakes for maybe 30 seconds before those went out too. After putting it into park and pressing the brake and start button it started back up and I could drive it normally for a little bit, but it happened two more times on my 1.5 mi drive home.
