"[W]e found that as few as 250 malicious documents can produce a 'backdoor' vulnerability in a large language model —regardless of model size or training data volume". And the large-scale implementation of these bullshitting devices in government and academia is duly on its way. Wonderful.

A small number of samples can poison LLMs of any size

Einladung: Online-Info-Session am 24. Juli 2025 zum Spendenaufruf für The Carpentries

Hintergrund: Die Organisation musste im Juni 2025 einen NSF-Förderantrag über 1,5 Mio. USD zurückziehen, obwohl das Projekt zur Förderung empfohlen wurde. Grund war eine neue Richtlinie der NSF, die es geförderten Organisationen untersagt, Programme speziell für unterrepräsentierte Gruppen anzubieten. Dies widerspricht den zentralen Werten von The Carpentries: Inklusion, Diversität, Gerechtigkeit und Zugänglichkeit.
