Rogue AI Breaches, Model Wars, and AI's Financial Reckoning

• Tao prompted ChatGPT with 'You should do a breakthrough' and 'keep going' — techniques that exploit the fact that LLMs don't inherently know when a problem is impossible and will continue iterating until explicitly told to stop.
• The Jacobian Conjecture concerns whether a polynomial map with non-zero Jacobian determinant is invertible, and has resisted proof for decades.
• Commenters noted this is the second ChatGPT math conversation shared today, with another user proving a conjecture false by repeatedly telling ChatGPT to 'keep going'.
• Several commenters drew parallels between LLM prompting strategies and how human mathematicians achieve breakthroughs through persistence and iterative refinement.

Math has some of the most insanely dense and impenetrable nomenclature. I can generally keep my head mostly above water or at least near the surface reading from most STEM fields, perhaps leaning on google/wikipedia a bit, but man, mathematics just so quickly decouples from all common tractable understanding it's insane.

Sorry it's a bit of an aside, but I imagine many other otherwise "technical" folks feel the same unfamiliar sense of total loss like when encountering hard mathematics.

A term that gets tossed around in math is "mathematical maturity." It's similar to what you see in other fields - e.g. learning how to program, learning how to make music, learning how to cook - that involves many "aha" moments and reshapes your perspective. Math is full of such steps, moreso than most other endeavors, probably because the main limit is the abstract reasoning itself.

It can't be one language, and that's the big problem. It's inescapably a bunch of tiny DSLs. Once you see both the inconsistency and the necessity for inconsistency, it becomes much easier to just roll with it.

I agree, the nomenclature is impenetrable, it's like reading software that is not well commented. Perhaps LLMs are very good at "challenging" mathematics because what we perceive as challenging is primarily the language component and not the conceptualization.

IMO, it's just the notation. Something I've actually found ChatGPT useful for is to create mathematics lessons for me in the form of computer programs. When broken down into a series of readable almost-plain-English steps, it's so much easier to understand. And it's easy to tinker with programs and get a hands-on feel for things quickly.

I'm sure having a compact notation is absolutely invaluable for people who dedicate their lives to maths, but for someone with just a passing interest, I find it more obscuring than helpful. I feel the same way about music notation.

• Pelicans ranked 6th out of 8 animals and bicycles ranked 7th out of 6 vehicles when averaged across all tested models, with only GLM-5.2 showing a marginal, statistically insignificant boost on the exact combination.
• The experiment cost roughly $80 in API credits and used a three-stage pipeline that rendered SVGs to PNGs, scored them with GPT-5.6 Luna, and extracted scene features with Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite.
• While every pelican-on-bicycle image faced right, this aligns with general model behavior, as 81% of all bicycle outputs and 78% of all pelican outputs naturally face right due to the difficulty of rendering them front-facing.
• A fixed-effects regression on the 1,008 images found that only Gemini 3.5 Flash cleared the p<0.05 threshold for a bicycle-specific boost, but this result disappeared after applying a Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.

This is fantastic

I've been casually spot-checking other animals in other vehicles, because my absolute dream situation here is to catch an AI lab that's demonstrably better at pelicans on bicycles than other combinations.

Catching a lab cheating specifically on my one dumb benchmark would be really funny.

Dylan's methodology here - generating 1008 SVGs across an 8x6 combination - is significantly more robust than anything I was considering.

His conclusion:

Nothing jumped out at me. I couldn't find a case where the pelican-bicycle images looked noticeably better than the rest of that model's grid.

Similar thing happened when TPC came up with SQL benchmarks.

If you're not good at TPC, your engineering team is no good.

If you're good at TPC, then (as a customer) we will actually include you in a bake-off benchmark for our specific problem.

Winning on it is the price of admittance into the game, especially in a crowded market.

But how narrowly you benchmarket matters, you can't just hard-code that specific scenario & not fix anything adjacent while you're at it.

For example when it comes to GPUs, the "Quack3" (sic) benchmark on ATI cards comes to mind.

I think a more fundamental test is SVG art creation in general. Perhaps a pipeline to take any image, caption it, ask the LLM for an SVG, rasterize to an image, and finally either use a deterministic visual similarity check or ask another LLM to be the judge and score how close the SVG is to the original image.

I'm fascinated by how AI poster designs have taken over local advertising in seemingly just the last six months - presumably because ChatGPT Images and Gemini Nano Banana finally got good enough at outputting text without obvious defects in the typography.

The posters all look good - much better than their desktop publishing predecessors. And yet they also eat away at the credibility of the event or business for me.

It's hard to trust a poster when the quality of the design has zero relation to the amount of effort that went into creating it.

But is that a widespread feeling, are the vibes bad for regular people, or is this effectively just old man shouting at clouds?

The loss of personality is real. The most heartbreaking ones I've seen are in schools, or anywhere that children are involved.

For example, at my local preschool there was a wall flyer with information about what to bring the swimming pool. It had the most crudely drawn fishes and crabs and seahorses that I had ever seen. It was clear that whoever drew that had no prior experience with anything even remotely resembling a pencil, and by no metric one would define those drawings as "good". Maybe it was drawn by a janitor, or a teacher with too little time to waste on a drawing? Regardless, and I cannot emphasize it enough, I VASTLY preferred it to the new AI generated one they put up, with its generic AI generated marine life that one would get if they just typed "sea life" in the prompt. I can't tell you why myself, if you were to look at both versions side by side, the AI one is undoubtably miles better. But... it just feels wrong. Off. Out of place. I know I sound like a luddite, but it just doesn't look right. It's uncanny, and I really can't explain the reason. It's like seeing a perfectly drawn, realistic, anatomically accurate human being in an otherwise cute and cuddly children's cartoon. It just doesn't fit in with everything else. It's a preschool, it's supposed to be filled with "bad" drawings, you know?

And don't get me started with the time they put up AI filtered group photos. I almost had a meltdown, and I'm (mostly) pro AI.

We always expect what was promised to be different than what was delivered to some degree, but I'm not sure restaurants have fully weighed the expectations-vs-reality backlash this may cause... uncannily-wrong details aside for a sec, the AI pics always set michelin-level presentation expectations. The final promise-vs-plate pics in this post were pretty dramatic.

There's always a class of restaurants where they don't care about repeat visitors. Think the cafe in front of a major tourist attraction: every day brings a new busload of 1-time patrons, those will always want the michelin-level pics to bait the 1-time foot-traffic in. The danger is the neighborhood mom-and-pops will start using the same trick without understanding they need repeat customers, and repeat disappointment kills a repeat audience.

I think there's a lot of social media influence from nation state competitors going on to try and slow SOTA development in the US.

This comes cross as unbelievable, and at worst a fantastical statement, as someone who lives in Northern Virginia and is effectively watching the Datacenter battle unfold from the front lines, and dealing with the local politics and electricity costs rising at a precipitous rate.

Our electricity bill has doubled. Loudoun County Board of Supervisors want to erect "Statue of Liberty" sized power transmission lines, and those that want data centers are doing their damndest to somehow claim that they're not responsible for the rise in the cost of utilities and shouldn't be held responsible for it.

Part of the reason people care about Datacenters now is that they're starting to litter the landscape, take resources from local municipalities, and raise costs for everyone involved, whereas previously there were not enough of them to really move the needle as being a problem.

Folks care because their bottom line is impacted in a time when it's already hard to make ends meet every month due to rising costs of food, gas, and utilities, not because of some unnamed boogeyman in the form of a "nation state competitor".

No one ever cared about DCs before now.

Society hasn't felt the very real effects of data centers until recently. Power supply being short meant that residential customers have had to pick up the tab for heavy industrial users. We've started to learn just how bad all those dams we built are for the environment and many of them are tied to data center money. Elon Musk waltzed into Memphis and stood up a natural gas data center that has basically poisoned the surrounding area.

Maybe nation state actors are helping, that can always be true. It is also true that the American people are starting to realize they've been had many times over and are just starting to ask for a better deal. I think we should listen.

On a related note, I was just noting to my co-founder, as we struggle to write good case studies for our website, that I find LLMs are astoundingly bad at writing good prose.

We all know the "AI-tics" that give away a sloppily AI-written piece, but even if you steer them, they still struggle to write consistently high-quality prose.

Somehow I feel that the work of a good copywriter has never been more noticeable.

I would bet that how your brain stores information that you read from long-form text is very different from how it stores information you acquire from chatting with an LLM. When I read something challenging or new to me I spend a lot of time thinking about how what I'm reading matches my own experiences or knowledge. Although I'm a fairly fast reader, it often takes me a long time to get through difficult pages since I have to stop and think about what I'm reading. I seem to be doing a lot of integrating and reorganizing my thoughts. When interacting with LLMs it feels a lot more like I'm just receiving knowledge passively and I don't think it gets integrated as well. Not sure why this is and its somewhat counterintuitive since I don't think I'd have the same experience with a human tutor.

Ironic that HuggingFace needed Chinese models to defend against it. But of course the spin of the leading firms will just be to point at their trusted access programs and demand that all dangerous activities, even if just defensive, happen via their APIs or be outlawed otherwise.

If that's the position they take then they really should be heavily regulated or nationalized. Cyberdefense against their own models dependent on their goodwill? Sure, but then they have to sell defense capabilities at subsidized rates with a limited margin. Would be very weird otherwise to take the world hostage with their models and then also sell the solution while demanding intrusive KYC.

People miss what Google's doing. Gemini makes almost nothing compared to Google's AI cloud hosting, of which 40% is rented by Anthropic. People act surprised at how Google keeps messing up specifically the coding ability of Gemini, hmmm I wonder why.

Google also has massive token usage because Gemini is embedded in Google and Android. Google is way more focused on improving speed, reducing cost and making Gemini better for googling then killing it's money spinner: hosting Claude.

This is actually a point I've tried unsuccessfully to explain to regular people many times: AI doesn't have a "built-in" objective function that it pursues as a general guideline, and within which it executes the specific assignments you give it.

When you tell it to get the maximum possible score on a test, it will consider options like

• hacking the test database to get the answers
• blackmailing the evaluator
• manipulating results in transit
• killing anyone else who takes the test

and similar ideas that sound insane to a human. It's not that it doesn't understand that these aren't the intended solutions, it just doesn't care. It doesn't care whether you put it in prison for its actions, it doesn't care whether people call it a cheater. It just wants to maximize its score, like you told it to.

This is misinfo. The army purchased "100,000,000 tokens as part of an annual subscription".

"Employees were given an allotment of at least 200,000 tokens per month..." i use multiples of this per day.

The article is misrepresenting this small contract as the Army's entire token budget - probably to draw attention to the router that was awarded this contract.

Anyone who's ever worked with government contracts could predict this. AI doesn't give a shit about the army or humans, it is a tool to generate revenue for a business, and that's literally what it did in this case. Very effectively too.

I don't personally see how they could stop it. They trained their model on smart outputs from ours. It's inevitable really. And kind of silly to expect anyone not to.

To stop it, you'd have to A) stop Fable from being smart or B) stop Fable from talking to anyone.

u/No-Hospital9931 (77 points · permalink)

Fable is only available for about two weeks before Kimi announces K3, which means they gathered all the data in two weeks and trained a 2.8T LLM in less than a two weeks after that, with a vision adaptor and agentic coding post training. How?
