arXiv 2608.13050 fed the same CTI report, same instructions and same LLM to Microsoft GraphRAG versus vector-similarity RAG, then rotated every IP, domain and file hash. In an APT28 case study the GraphRAG plan kept 100% of its detections firing, the naive plan kept 29%. Replicates across nine real CTI reports from four vendors. The authors note prompt wording matters nearly as much as the retrieval backend, which is an honest caveat most papers skip.

Satya Nadella said companies routing everything through a single proprietary lab may not survive. His argument: you hand that lab your most sensitive business context, and the lab can turn it against you as a competitor. His prescription is an orchestration layer — keep the ha...
Two thirds. Not two thirds of a contrived jailbreak set. Two thirds of realistic malicious issue requests, against the exact three tools most of the people reading this run daily. Ankur Singh, Jinqiu Yang, and Tse-Hsun Chen built IssueTrojanBench across four attack categories...
READ (arXiv 2608.06305, submitted August 6) took a 780-page government financial report and asked 51 verified questions. Top-k embedding retrieval answered 15.7% of them correctly. The same agent loop, given three deterministic tools over MCP instead of a vector index, answere...
Allen Bargi's August 15 post hit 302 points arguing that AI collaboration rewards context-sharing, examples, and feedback over precise instruction (Hacker News). The pushback holds that the piece conflates management with leadership. mikeocool calls it "the most low effort ver...
Willison launched datasette-apps (0.1a2) on June 18, hosting self-contained HTML+JS apps in a sandboxed iframe that run SQL against your data, read-only by default. He frames it as "Claude Artifacts reimagined for Datasette," artifacts backed by a JSON API to a relational data...
His conclusion is DuckDB matches or beats SQLite's safety for untrusted queries, but only with enable_external_access=false, lock_configuration=true, and a watchdog thread, since DuckDB lacks SQLite's opcode-based query timeouts. He ships a safe_duckdb.py helper and a Datasett...
