This is all possible thanks to recent progress with LLMs, the students said.


In a Google document, AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio explained how they linked a pair of Meta Ray Bans 2 to an invasive face search engine called PimEyes to help identify strangers by cross-searching their information on various people-search databases. 

They then used a large language model (LLM) to rapidly combine all that data, making it possible to 
  • Dox someone in a glance or 
  • Surface information to scam someone in seconds —or 
  • Other nefarious uses, such as
"Some dude could just find some girl’s home address on the train and just follow them home,” Nguyen told 404 Media.

In their Google document, Nguyen and Ardayfio provide instructions for people to remove their faces from reverse face search engines like PimEyes and Facecheck ID, as well as people search engines like FastPeopleSearch, CheckThem, and Instant Checkmate. They also provided a form for people to reach out with questions.

Perplexity

The year-old search engine , whose founders previously worked in A.I. research at OpenAI and Meta, has quickly become one of the most buzzed-about products in the tech world. Tech insiders rave about it on social media, and investors like Jeff Bezos — who was also an early investor in Google — have showered it with cash. The company recently announced that it had raised $74 million in a funding round led by Institutional Venture Partners, which valued the company at $520 million. Many start-ups have tried and failed to challenge Google over the years. (One would-be competitor, Neeva, shut down last year after failing to gain traction.)  But Google seems less invincible these days.   Many users have complained that their Google search results have gotten clogged with spammy, low-quality websites, and some people have started looking for answers in places like Reddit and TikTok instead.

Aphorisms: AI

"Dave. Dave. Stop, Dave. You wouldn't toss your phone in the loo, would you? Dave?" AI on the internet: "We're like termites in a toothpick factory!"  "A friend of mine has called this A.I. moment 'the revenge of the so-so programmer'," says James Somers. "As coding per se begins to matter less, maybe softer skills will shine."

"Although a nuclear confrontation based on fake intelligence may seem unlikely, the stakes during crises are high and timelines are short, creating situations where fake data could well tilt the balance toward nuclear war. "The evolution of nuclear systems has led to further ambiguity in crises and shorter timeframes for verifying intelligence. An intercontinental ballistic missile from Russia could reach the U.S. within 25 minutes. A submarine-launched ballistic missile could arrive even sooner.  "Many modern missiles carry ambiguous payloads, making it unclear whether they are nuclear-tipped. AI tools for verifying the authenticity of content are not sufficiently reliable, making this ambiguity difficult to resolve in a short window. "The likeliest nuclear hotspots are also the arenas involving actors with low levels of trust on both sides — be that the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party or Russia, or India and Pakistan. Even if communication is established in a
