3 Months later – Proof of concept for making comics with Krita AI and other AI tools

Some folks might remember this post I made a few short months ago where I explored the possibility of making comics with SDXL and Krita AI. I had no clue what I was doing when I started, so it was entirely an experiment to figure out could you make comics with these tools. The short …

Jailbreaking the matrix: How researchers are bypassing AI guardrails to make them safer

A paper written by University of Florida Computer & Information Science & Engineering, or CISE, Professor Sumit Kumar Jha, Ph.D., contains so many science fiction terms, you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s a Hollywood script: Nullspace steering. Red teaming. Jailbreaking the matrix. But Jha’s work is decidedly focused on real life, most notably strengthening the …

Turns out LTX-2 makes a very good video upscaler for WAN

I have had a lot of fun with LTX but for a lot of usecases it is useless for me. for example this usecase where I could not get anything proper with LTX no matter how much I tried (mild nudity): https://aurelm.com/portfolio/ode-to-the-female-form/ The video may be choppy on the site but you can download it …

AI model edits can leak sensitive data via update ‘fingerprints’

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are now widely used by millions of people worldwide, as tools to source information or tackle specific tasks more rapidly and efficiently. Today, some of the most used are large language models (LLMs), computational models trained on large collections of texts that can process and generate written content in various languages.

Amazon SageMaker AI in 2025, a year in review part 1: Flexible Training Plans and improvements to price performance for inference workloads

In 2025, Amazon SageMaker AI saw dramatic improvements to core infrastructure offerings along four dimensions: capacity, price performance, observability, and usability. In this series of posts, we discuss these various improvements and their benefits. In Part 1, we discuss capacity improvements with the launch of Flexible Training Plans. We also describe improvements to price performance …

Quantum computer breakthrough tracks qubit fluctuations in real time

Qubits, the heart of quantum computers, can change performance in fractions of a second — but until now, scientists couldn’t see it happening. Researchers at NBI have built a real-time monitoring system that tracks these rapid fluctuations about 100 times faster than previous methods. Using fast FPGA-based control hardware, they can instantly identify when a …
