New tool makes generative AI models more likely to create breakthrough materials
The artificial intelligence models that turn text into images are also useful for generating new materials. Over the last few years, generative materials models from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have drawn on their training data to help researchers design tens of millions of new materials. But when it comes to designing materials with…
The Psychology Of Trust In AI: A Guide To Measuring And Designing For User Confidence — Smashing Magazine
When AI “hallucinates,” it’s more than just a glitch — it’s a collapse of trust. As generative AI becomes part of more digital products, trust has become the invisible user interface.

Mars Attracts Is A F-ack-Ing Good Time (Early Access Impressions)
Even as a fan of the 1996 (IT WAS FUCKING HOW LONG AGO!?) movie Mars Attacks, I never once assumed it would return over 2 decades later as a videogame. And even if I did make that assumption, at no point would I have guessed it would arrive as a theme-park management game, hilariously titled…

‘The Testament of Ann Lee’ review: Amanda Seyfried astounds in stirring, religious biopic
From the first musical moments of The Testament of Ann Lee, I was enraptured. Admittedly, I went in knowing nothing of its subject, an 18th-century religious figure who led the Shakers, a sect also known as the “Shaking Quakers” because of the physicality of their worship. However, the opening thrums of music and the graceful…
Building a Hybrid Rule-Based and Machine Learning Framework to Detect and Defend Against Jailbreak Prompts in LLM Systems
In this tutorial, we introduce a Jailbreak Defense that we built step-by-step to detect and safely handle policy-evasion prompts. We generate realistic attack and benign examples, craft rule-based signals, and combine those with TF-IDF features into a compact, interpretable classifier so we can catch evasive prompts without blocking legitimate requests. We demonstrate evaluation metrics, explain…
