"His mobile phone, which is required for the two-step authentication process to verify his identity cards, is held by police."

I have ALWAYS thought #twoFactor created personal vulnerabilities, particularly but not exclusively when travelling abroad. I (stupidly) hadn't thought about how it facilitates autocratic policies such as ethnic cleansing. Much like #AISurveillance.

Sugar-Coated Poison: Benign Generation Unlocks LLM Jailbreaking

arxiv.org/abs/2504.05652

arXiv.orgSugar-Coated Poison: Benign Generation Unlocks LLM JailbreakingLarge Language Models (LLMs) have become increasingly integral to a wide range of applications. However, they still remain the threat of jailbreak attacks, where attackers manipulate designed prompts to make the models elicit malicious outputs. Analyzing jailbreak methods can help us delve into the weakness of LLMs and improve it. In this paper, We reveal a vulnerability in large language models (LLMs), which we term Defense Threshold Decay (DTD), by analyzing the attention weights of the model's output on input and subsequent output on prior output: as the model generates substantial benign content, its attention weights shift from the input to prior output, making it more susceptible to jailbreak attacks. To demonstrate the exploitability of DTD, we propose a novel jailbreak attack method, Sugar-Coated Poison (SCP), which induces the model to generate substantial benign content through benign input and adversarial reasoning, subsequently producing malicious content. To mitigate such attacks, we introduce a simple yet effective defense strategy, POSD, which significantly reduces jailbreak success rates while preserving the model's generalization capabilities.

👓 Meta's Ray-ban sunglasses / smart glasses with facial recognition highlights serious privacy risks:
- Instantly identifies strangers and finds personal info (name, address, etc.).
- Shows the dangers of easily accessible tech for doxxing.
- Raises privacy concerns for public spaces and personal data.

More risks for personal space and privacy 😥

This article delves into the challenges of troublesome machine behavior in AI, particularly concerning externalized governance. Focusing on machine vision, it explores the potential of hacking as a concept, method, and ethic in resisting surveillant vision. The 'intuition machine shift' is discussed, emphasizing a move from hacking sensorial devices to tricking intellectual seeing.

Open Library of HumanitiesHacking Surveillance Cameras, Tricking AI and Disputing Biases: Artistic Critiques of Machine VisionIn the field of AI, troublesome machine behaviour is a recurring problem, and is particularly worrying when the governance of populations is externalised to machines. This article will focus on machine vision and explore whether hacking as a concept, a method and an ethic, as it has been appropriated by artists, makers and designers, offers ways for citizens to resist surveillant vision. By combining distant and close readings of art hacks in the ‘Database of Machine Vision in Art, Games and Narratives’ this article demonstrates a shift in resisting machine vision from hacking sensorial devices to tricking intellectual seeing. I call it the ‘intuition machine shift’ and argue that emergent with this shift is an art hacking strategy which specifically challenges biased machine vision. Drawing from critical making, tactical media and feminist theorisation of hacking, and adopting Mareille Kaufmann’s understanding of hacking as a form of disputing surveillance, this article outlines three artistic approaches to hacking machine vision: hacking surveillance cameras, tricking AI and disputing biases. The conceptual contribution of disputing biases is developed further to offer new nuanced understandings of risks and potentials of art hacks to resist biased machine vision.

This article delves into the intersection of machine vision, face recognition, and affect in Kazuo Ishiguro's novel "Klara and the Sun" (2021). It explores how the novel portrays cognitive and emotional acts through 'face reading' and examines the affective dilemmas of technological face recognition using Bolen's 'kinesic imagination' and Ngai's 'ugly feelings.'

Open Library of HumanitiesPixel, Partition, Persona: Machine Vision and Face Recognition in Kazuo Ishiguro’s <i>Klara and the Sun</i>This article examines the relationship between machine vision, face recognition and affect in Kazuo Ishiguro’s speculative fiction novel Klara and the Sun (2021). It explores the ways that Ishiguro’s novel enacts, stages, and dramatises cognitive and emotional acts of comprehension and empathy through ‘face reading’. The article takes up Guillemette Bolen’s theorisation of ‘kinesic imagination’ and Sianne Ngai’s concept of ‘ugly feelings’ to investigate the affective and representational dilemmas of technological face recognition in speculative fiction. Through the careful treatment of literary language, itself a complex response to rapidly evolving technology, Klara and the Sun presents instances of affective subtlety, hesitation, ambiguity, mutability, confusion and deficit to solicit an emotional response in the reader concerning the sociotechnical reception and future possibilities of machine vision and facial recognition technologies. In this way, Ishiguro’s novel offers a timely challenge to the algorithmic design principles of face-recognition technology due to its complex affective (rather than purely categorical) treatment of both human and non-human faces.
