New arXiv work proposes measuring safety-critical content via Jacobian-space readouts and introduces transport-amplification profiles linking latent safety geometry to accessible output, pointing to new training…

That's not a fringe worry. That's most of the country.
That concern deserves more than a shrug. It's why we're building Project Oversight. #AISafety

ChatGPT just signed AI cartoons with real New Yorker artists' names — BLOPER, Bliss, Flake, 12 others. OpenAI's Condé Nast deal explicitly excluded cartoons. They added a guardrail only after getting caught. Licensing deals mean nothing if the model ignores them anyway. #AINews #AISafety
