@mwichary@mastodon.online Google must be working on the same mandate for Gemini that they were working on for Google Plus... they overrode the button combination on my headset after some update & now the headset cannot be turned off, because the button to turn it off starts Gemini instead. They did the same thing with the off button on my mom's *phone*, & she is trying to find the setting so that she can turn her damned phone off.

@petealexharris@mastodon.scot I think anorexia nervosa is a pretty good comparison to be honest. From what I understand, the consensus has softened a bit since I was paying close attention, but it used to be that anorexia nervosa (in its classic Karen Carpenter manifestation) was widely understood as a response to political-economic pressures. Some mental illness is fully organic in origin -- stemming from genetics or injury -- but a lot of it is the direct result of interacting with an inhumane environment. The three causes are not mutually exclusive, and mental illness caused by one can cause or exacerbate that caused by another. This appears to quite certainly be the third case -- interacting with an inhuman environment (the modern world) has produced inhumane pressures (these guys think they are worthless if they don't have sufficiently sharp cheekbones), and the inhumaneness of the world is a political problem (arguably, it is the only political problem, and all other political problems stem from flawed attempts to solve it). @Doomscroll@zirk.us @cstross@wandering.shop

@petealexharris@mastodon.scot mental health and political circumstances are deeply intertwined, particularly when political-economic conditions induce specific inhumane circumstances. (mark fisher analyzes this pretty deeply in various books of his, and is worth reading for his insights here.) @Doomscroll@zirk.us @cstross@wandering.shop

@petealexharris@mastodon.scot (before anybody gets up my ass: yes, I know Karen Carpenter was bulemic. iirc she was also anorexic? but the whole world kind of understood eating disorders through the lens of what happened to her, for a long time, and her case neatly fits a model that I've seen people take seriously as far back as the mid-70s and as late as 2010.) @Doomscroll@zirk.us @cstross@wandering.shop

[2510.07192] Poisoning Attacks on LLMs Require a Near-constant Number of Poison Samples https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.07192

Poisoning Attacks on LLMs Require a Near-constant Number of Poison Samples

Poisoning attacks can compromise the safety of large language models (LLMs) by injecting malicious documents into their training data. Existing work has studied pretraining poisoning assuming adversaries control a percentage of the training corpus. However, for large models, even small percentages translate to impractically large amounts of data. This work demonstrates for the first time that poisoning attacks instead require a near-constant number of documents regardless of dataset size. We con
