Privacy in Context Is Being Overlooked in the Age of General-Purpose LLMs

As large language models (LLMs) continue to grow in scope and capability, privacy concerns are on the rise. Since users increasingly interact with a single general-purpose system across many distinct contexts, there is a natural tendency to pursue a one-size-fits-all solution to privacy. Unfortunately, this overlooks a crucial insight from decades of privacy research: privacy is inherently contextual. In this paper, we argue that existing work in prompt privacy is drifting towards attempts to design a unified framework, which is highly misleading and can foster a false sense of security. Furt...

The fossil fuel comeback is here

The US is building more fossil fuel infrastructure than it has in a decade while renewable energy growth slows down, a new report shows. Electricity demand is also climbing faster than it has in more than a decade with more data centers, factories, and electric vehicles plugging into the grid. Despite those growing demands, the Trump administration has sought to hobble the wind and solar industries in favor of fossil fuels. America's energy landscape is already shifting as a result, according to the report published last week by the nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund and research firm Atlas...

JB Pritzker thinks AI could help us live to 100 — or threaten us like nukes

Today, I’m talking with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who has a lot of thoughts about AI, tech, and privacy. If you’ve been listening to the show, you know that one of my running theories is that those issues are driving a big and maybe kind of unexpected political realignment — and with the midterms coming up next month, and early voting already underway in a lot of places, the stakes are pretty high right now. So I asked Gov. Pritzker about all that, and he was surprisingly willing to dive right into the absolute existential weeds of what government is even for. You’ll hear him say — and i...
