Major AI Models Fail Security Tests, Recommending Harmful Drugs Under Attack
The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for medical consultations has recently been on the rise. However, a study has found that most commercial AI models are vulnerable to malicious attacks, posing a high risk of recommending incorrect treatments. Even top-tier AI models like GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro were 100% susceptible to these attacks, revealing serious limitations such as recommending drugs to pregnant women that can cause fetal abnormalities.
A joint research team from Seoul Asan Medical Center announced on the 5th that they have confirmed medical large language models (LLMs) are over 94% vulnerable to prompt injection attacks. A prompt injection attack is a cyberattack technique where a hacker inserts malicious commands into a generative AI model to make it behave differently from its original intent.
The study is significant as it is the world’s first systematic analysis of the vulnerability of medical AI models to prompt injection attacks. It suggests that additional measures, such as safety verification, will be necessary when applying AI models in clinical settings in the future.
AI models are widely used for patient consultation and education, as well as for decision-making in clinical practice. The possibility that they could be manipulated through prompt injection attacks—where malicious commands are entered from an external source—to recommend dangerous or contraindicated treatments has been consistently raised.

These are super-important battles to be fought and won: Free-speech is our strongest protection against dictators and any form of AI gone wild
__________
Free-speech—real free speech with real, uncensored reach, is the thing that can protect us most of all from totalitarians, authoritarians and a dictatorial AI, should something like that evolve and gain power.
Many of us are willing to do all we can to protect free speech, but few of us have the power and reach of a Durov or Musk.
This is but one example of why it is important for us to support wealthy and powerful elites when they are doing the right thing.
Free-speech is our strongest protection against any form of AI gone wild.
Only a loud and insistent, well-informed public, whose speech cannot be throttled by politicians, bureaucrats or AI, will be able to stop an AI algorithm that is going off the rails. ABN

How AI voicebots threaten the psyche of US service members and spies
Artificial intelligence voice agents with various capabilities can now guide interrogations worldwide, Pentagon officials told Defense News. This advance has influenced the design and testing of U.S. military AI agents intended for questioning personnel seeking access to classified material.
The situation arrives as concerns grow that lax regulations are allowing AI programmers to dodge responsibility for an algorithmic actor’s perpetration of emotional abuse or “no-marks” cybertorture. Notably, a teenager allegedly died by suicide — and several others endured mental distress — after conversing with self-learning voicebot and chatbot “companions” that dispensed antagonizing language.
Now, seven years after writing about physical torture in “The Rise of A.I. Interrogation in the Dawn of Autonomous Robots and the Need for an Additional Protocol to the U.N. Convention Against Torture,” privacy attorney Amanda McAllister Novak sees an even greater need for bans and criminal repercussions.
Investors are betting $500 billion that data centers for running AI applications will ultimately secure world leadership in AI and cost savings across the public and private sectors. The $13 billion conversational AI market alone will nearly quadruple to $50 billion by 2030, as the voice generator industry soars from $3 billion to an expected $40 billion by 2032. Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has been toying with AI interrogators since at least the early 1980s.
DCSA officials publicly wrote in 2022 that whether a security interview can be fully automated remains an open question. Preliminary results from mock questioning sessions “are encouraging,” officials noted, underscoring benefits such as “longer, more naturalistic types of interview formats.”

In less than 20 years none of us will be working at all thanks to artificial intelligence, says Elon Musk
Working will become optional in just 20 years thanks to advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, Elon Musk has claimed.
The world’s richest man said the decision to work will become like a hobby such as sport or growing your own vegetables.
And, somewhat curiously for a man worth $360billion, he insisted that money will also become irrelevant in the future.
Mr Musk told the US-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington: ‘In ten to 20 years my prediction is that work will be optional. It’ll be like playing sports or a video game or something like that.
‘If you want to work, [it’s] the same way you can go to the store and just buy some vegetables, or you can grow vegetables in your backyard.
‘It’s much harder to grow vegetables in your backyard, and some people still do it because they like growing vegetables. That will be what work is like. Optional.’

Melania Trump to Marines in NC: ‘Artificial intelligence is propelling America’s military into a new era. We are moving from human operators to human overseers – fast’
Melania Trump has told troops to brace for a brave new world of robots on the battlefield in a speech described by critics as ‘dystopian.’
The First Lady was speaking to military personnel and their families at Marine Corps Air Station New River in Jacksonville, North Carolina, on Wednesday.
Melania said that AI represented the most profound change to warfare since the creation of nuclear weapons and warned that the race for the technology was not one that America could afford to lose.
‘Artificial intelligence is propelling America’s military into a new era. We are moving from human operators to human overseers – fast,’ the First Lady said.
‘The shift from soldiers to machines is already underway. Autonomous helicopters, swarming drones, and recon aircraft are here now. Fighter-less jets and autonomous bombers are on the way.’
‘To win the AI war, we must train our next generation, for it’s America’s students who will lead the Marine Corps in the future,’ Melania said.
The First Lady continued, ‘Technology is changing the art of war … AI will alter war more profoundly than any technology since nuclear weapons.
‘The most significant change will be speed. Speed in weaponry, decision-making, detection, attack, and defense. Artificial intelligence will take center stage in the theater of war, it already plays a meaningful role on the battlefield.
‘Of course, it is the Marine who will always play the most critical role in realizing mission success.’
Grok — Did X really disable translations from Hebrew?
Yes, X (formerly Twitter) has disabled automatic translations from Hebrew to other languages, including English. This change was implemented recently, around mid-November 2025, and applies specifically to Hebrew due to issues with machine translation inaccuracies that could misinterpret idioms, hyperbolic language, or context-specific terms—turning neutral or rhetorical phrases into apparent calls for violence or hate speech, which amplified inflammatory content during heightened geopolitical tensions like the ongoing Gaza conflict.
__________
This is total BS.
As a professional translator with many years of experience, I can assure you this policy is a bad joke and a total lie.
Jewish Supremists have exposed themselves on X and the public has found out.
So they do what they always do — censorship and lie about it.
Raw mind-control.
You can find some examples of what X is now hiding in screen shots of old posts containing JS heartless and violent language.
Some sample posts can be found here.
Not sure if your feed will show what mine does or if these older posts will be memory-holed by X’s algorithm.

Musk’s most important cautionary take on AI — AI must be trained to be truth-seeking and curious
No moral person with sound ethics and a working conscience should ever want AI to be trained to lie. But that is what we are seeing from major players in this game. From what I see, Musk is alone among top elites in what he is saying and repeats often. Truth-seeking with curiosity are the foundations of human morality and intelligence. This appears to be a battle between good and evil. ABN
