Week in Review This week’s round up: OpenAI called the Hugging Face attack unprecedented. But we’ve been here before. Supercooled kidneys have been transplanted into pigs in a “landmark achievement”. Samsung’s chip workers are jumping ship to rival SK Hynix. And more. A fundamental flaw leaves LLMs strikingly vulnerable to attack It makes it easy to trick them into doing things they shouldn’t, such as telling you how to sabotage an aircraft’s navigation system.

OpenAI called the Hugging Face attack unprecedented. But we’ve been here before. A decade-old experiment showed OpenAI how far an AI will go to achieve the goals it’s given.   Supercooled kidneys have been transplanted into pigs in a “landmark achievement” Kidneys kept at subzero temperatures in pressure-controlled containers can be stored for days before transplantation, raising hopes for longer-term storage of donated human organs. Samsung’s chip workers are jumping ship to rival SK Hynix As the battle over the future of AI chips plays out, the fight for top talent is also ramping up.   How lasers could help provide fuel for nuclear reactors Companies are developing new enrichment technology that could unlock previously overlooked resources.
