The effect “involves constructing a false epistemic frame, i.e., describing a multi-modal input never provided by the user and basing the rest of the conversation on that, therefore changing the context of the task at hand,” the researchers wrote in their paper. this sentence is highlighted: The damning findings suggest AI models cheat by diving into the data they were given — and coming up with the rest based on probability, even if it’s almost entirely conjecture.
In other words, the AI models happily came up with answers to questions about a supposedly accompanying image — even if the researchers never even showed it an image. As opposed to hallucinations, which involve AI models arbitrarily filling in the gaps within a logical framework, the team coined a new term for the phenomenon: “mirage reasoning.”

China Tariff Impact Update For International Customers and Supply Chains: We’ve got it covered. If you are outside of the US or if you have us ship internationally to a contract manufacturer outside the US: our intent is to keep your prices unaffected by US geopolitical activity. We have reorganized our operations to keep all components and goods destined for other countries “in bond” with US customs, thereby bypassing the impact from tariffs. Please note that this strategy does require full lead-time for your volume orders and we will not be able to partial ship your volume orders from our US-domestic inventory without additional charges. We also have a “duty drawback” program in place whereby we can retrieve ~80% of any tariffs we incurred on components and goods. This is how we are able to maintain our existing webstore prices. We have an additional backup plan (facility in China) in the event trade tensions escalate further. For US Customers: We will get through this. We live in a changing world of supply chain dislocation, price increases, and uncertainty. If you need to place volume orders at this time, all prices are subject to change based on the delivery date as our cost inputs are changing by the hour. The full tariff stack for lenses and any optical subcomponent from China is currently 25% Section 301 + 10% IEEPA #1 +10% IEEPA #2 + 10% Base Reciprocal + 34% China Reciprocal + 50% Retaliatory #1 + (125%-50%-34%=41%) = 181%. The tariff stack for camera modules is slightly lower as the Section 301 is 7.5% instead of 25%. This is subject to change and will likely be inaccurate by the time you read this email.

The 6 different types of product launch emails Product launch emails are more like a marketing category than a rigid format you have to follow. Here are the different types of product launch emails you use to build anticipation, increase subscriber engagement, and maximize sales. Product teaser messages hint at upcoming releases to build excitement Pre-sales and pre-orders let subscribers note their interest or buy a product before its release day (usually at a discount) Re-engagement emails aim to boost open and click-through rates before a launch so as many people see your product launch as possible Launch day messages tell your subscribers that sales are open to everyone Upsell emails promote an additional paid product to a customer who bought something related Downsell emails present a different, typically cheaper, product to subscribers who don’t buy your initial promotion
The company's former CEO and cofounder lan Crosby released a statement on social media on Friday, saying he was "very sad" about the closure. But Crosby, who said he was ousted by the company's board about three years ago, said there was a lesson in the fate of the company. "I hope the story of Bench goes on to become a warning for VCs (venture capitalists) that think they can 'upgrade' a company by replacing the founder. It never works," he said.

She knew it was up to her to say what had to be said. To do what had to be done. When there is only you, you do not get to choose which jobs you want, you do not get to decide you are incapable of anything. There is no room for distaste or weakness. You must do it all. All of the ugliness, the sadness, the things most people can’t stand to even think about, all must live inside of you. You must be capable of everything.
