Security & Safety

1. Show HN: Dikaletus – meeting recording and transcription using Mistral AI

Dikaletus is a TUI tool to record, transcribe, and generate structured meeting notes using FFmpeg, PulseAudio and the Mistral AI API.The meeting agent automates the process of capturing, transcribing, and generating structured meeting notes. It records audio from both microphone and speaker outpu...

2. Show HN: Anycrap – REST API for 35k absurdist AI-generated products

The site hit #1 on HN about a year ago. Got enough traffic that I turned it into a proper API.What's there: - REST API — 35k products, manually filterable by category, free key, 60 req/min - CLI — npx anycrap random -c food - faker.js plugin — bundled, no API call, works offline - HuggingFace dat...

Research & Papers

3. The Geopolitics of AI Safety: A Causal Analysis of Regional LLM Bias

arXiv:2605.05427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) are integrated into global software systems, ensuring equitable safety guardrails is a critical requirement. Current fairness evaluations predominantly measure bias observationally, a methodology confounded by the in...

4. XL-SafetyBench: A Country-Grounded Cross-Cultural Benchmark for LLM Safety and Cultural Sensitivity

arXiv:2605.05662v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current LLM safety benchmarks are predominantly English-centric and often rely on translation, failing to capture country-specific harms. Moreover, they rarely evaluate a model's ability to detect culturally embedded sensitivities as distinct fro...

5. Conceal, Reconstruct, Jailbreak: Exploiting the Reconstruction-Concealment Tradeoff in MLLMs

arXiv:2605.05709v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Intent-obfuscation-based jailbreak attacks on multimodal large language models (MLLMs) transform a harmful query into a concealed multimodal input to bypass safety mechanisms. We show that such attacks are governed by a \emph{reconstruction--concea...

6. Information Theoretic Adversarial Training of Large Language Models

arXiv:2605.05415v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) remain vulnerable to adversarial prompting despite advances in alignment and safety, often exhibiting harmful behaviors under novel attack strategies. While adversarial training can improve robustness, existing approa...

7. Memory Efficient Full-gradient Attacks (MEFA) Framework for Adversarial Defense Evaluations

arXiv:2605.06357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work studies the robust evaluation of iterative stochastic purification defenses under white-box adversarial attacks. Our key technical insight is that gradient checkpointing makes exact end-to-end gradient computation through long purificat...

8. Practical Adversarial Attacks on Stochastic Bandits via Fake Data Injection

arXiv:2505.21938v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Adversarial attacks on stochastic bandits have traditionally relied on some unrealistic assumptions, such as per-round reward manipulation and unbounded perturbations, limiting their relevance to real-world systems. We propose a more prac...
