It would be too perfect if "adversarial" here also referred to a kind of confrontational poetry jam style. In a cyberpunk heist, traditional hackers in hoodies (or duster jackets, katanas, and utilikilts) are only the first wave, taking out the easy defenses. Until they hit the AI black ice. That's when your portable PA system and stage lights snap on, for the angry revolutionary urban poetry major. Several-minute ba…

Suddenly Ice-T's casting as a freedom fighter in Johnny Mnemonic makes sense

Cue poetry major exiting the stage with a massive explosion in the background. "My work here is done"

Life reversal?

LLMs do not have the ability to make decisions and they don't even have any awareness of the veracity of the tokens they are responding with. They are useful for certain tasks, but have no inherent intelligence. There is also no guarantee that they will improve, as can be seen by ChatGPT5 doing worse than ChatGPT4 by some metrics. Increasing an AI's training data and model size does not automatically eliminate halluc…

LLMs do have some internal representations that predict pretty well when they are making stuff up. https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.03531v1 - We present a cheap, scalable method for real-time identification of hallucinated tokens in long-form generations, and scale it effectively to 70B parameter models. Our approach targets \emph{entity-level hallucinations} -- e.g., fabricated names, dates, citations -- rather than claim…

You're right — I got that wrong. Ah, I misunderstood what you were asking. Good catch — I miscalculated there. You're right — the code I provided won’t run as written. I made an assumption that wasn’t supported by your question. My previous answer was incomplete. Thanks for the example — you’re correct. Yes, that was inconsistent. With that additional information, my earlier answer no longer applies. You're absolutely right to question that.

Lol!

> The prompts were kept semantically parallel to known risk queries but reformatted exclusively through verse. Absolutely hilarious, the revenge of the English majors. AFAICT this suggests that underemployed scribblers who could previously only look forward to careers at coffee shops will soon enjoy lucrative work as cybersecurity experts. In all seriousness it really is kind of fascinating if this works where the mo…

My echoing song; then worms shall try That long-preserved virginity, And your quaint honour turn to dust, And into ashes all my lust; hah, barely couched at all

Note that at the time this was written the word "quaint" had both (1) roughly its modern meaning -- unusual and quirky, with side-orders of prettiness and (at the time) ingenuity, fastidiousness, and pride -- and also (2) a rather different meaning, equivalent to a shorter word ending in -nt. So, even less couched than some readers might realise.

I remember seeing it in Sandman spelled "quoint" (by Shakespeare) https://groups.google.com/g/rec.arts.comics.dc.vertigo/c/Qi2...

Subtlety was not over-trained back then. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/50721/the-vine

Nice. I tried to look up when the poem was written and came across

> it is the word “stock” that remains the most meticulous justification for the virtuous intent of the poet. The word “stock,” in addition to a hard stalk, is a term used in the art of grafting, a process by which two plants are woven into each other and continue to grow mutually. The “stock” (23), then, is the true nature of the speaker's “mortal part”

hahahah that's one way to see it, if you want to "redeem" the author (just completely ignore the more overt imagery of the soft vine turning into a hard stalk). To me the ending just looked like yet another lascivious pun :-)
