WIRED Roundup: Are We In An AI Bubble?
In this episode of Uncanny Valley, we talk about one author’s journey to flee the US, social media surveillance, chatbots and the world of AI, and conspiracy theories for an autism cure.
Why GPS fails in cities. And how it was brilliantly fixed
Our everyday GPS struggles in “urban canyons,” where skyscrapers bounce satellite signals, confusing even advanced navigation systems. NTNU scientists created SmartNav, combining satellite corrections, wave analysis, and Google’s 3D building data for remarkable precision. Their method achieved accuracy within 10 centimeters during testing. The breakthrough could make reliable urban navigation accessible and affordable worldwide.
Size doesn’t matter: Just a small number of malicious files can corrupt LLMs of any size
Large language models (LLMs), which power sophisticated AI chatbots, are more vulnerable than previously thought. According to research by Anthropic, the UK AI Security Institute and the Alan Turing Institute, it only takes 250 malicious documents to compromise even the largest models.

Build an Inference Cache to Save Costs in High-Traffic LLM Apps
Large language models (LLMs) are widely used in applications like chatbots, customer support, code assistants, and more.
Local Mechanisms of Compositional Generalization in Conditional Diffusion
Conditional diffusion models appear capable of compositional generalization, i.e., generating convincing samples for out-of-distribution combinations of conditioners, but the mechanisms underlying this ability remain unclear. To make this concrete, we study length generalization, the ability to generate images with more objects than seen during training. In a controlled CLEVR setting (Johnson et al., 2017), we …

Use Amazon SageMaker HyperPod and Anyscale for next-generation distributed computing
This post was written with Dominic Catalano from Anyscale. Organizations building and deploying large-scale AI models often face critical infrastructure challenges that can directly impact their bottom line: unstable training clusters that fail mid-job, inefficient resource utilization driving up costs, and complex distributed computing frameworks requiring specialized expertise. These factors can lead to unused GPU …

Introducing Gemini Enterprise
AI is presenting a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform how you work, how you run your business, and what you build for your customers. But the first wave of AI, while promising, has been stuck in silos, unable to orchestrate complex work across an entire organization. True transformation requires a comprehensive platform that connects to your …
