Today's News

Today, Palantir CEO Alex Karp issued a stark nine-point manifesto warning companies against handing proprietary data to LLM providers, arguing the token-selling business model incentivizes data exploitation. Meanwhile, Google sparked a heated debate over historical authenticity with a new commercial imagining the Founding Fathers drafting the Declaration of Independence with AI assistance.

• In a nine-point manifesto, Palantir CEO Alex Karp to every company using AI: Do not hand your data to LLM companies, there is a reason why those selling tokens refuse to .. — Palantir CEO Alex Karp published a nine-point manifesto on July 5, 2026, urging companies to never give proprietary data to large language model providers. He argues that the token-selling business model creates an inherent incentive for LLM companies to absorb and monetize client data. Karp’s warning targets the growing practice of firms feeding sensitive internal information into third-party AI systems.
• New Google commercial imagines a Declaration of Independence written with help from AI — Google released a 250th anniversary commercial depicting the Founding Fathers drafting the Declaration of Independence with AI assistance. The ad has ignited debate over its portrayal of historical authenticity and whether it trivializes a foundational moment in American history. Critics argue the commercial risks normalizing AI’s role in rewriting core national narratives.

• Distributed Attacks in Persistent-State AI Control — Josh Hills, Ida Caspary, Asa Cooper Stickland. As AI coding agents become more autonomous, they increasingly ship code iteratively, with the codebase persisting across sessions.
• LACUNA: A Testbed for Evaluating Localization Precision for LLM Unlearning — Matteo Boglioni, Thibault Rousset, Siva Reddy. LLMs memorize sensitive training data, including personally identifiable information (PII), creating a pressing need for reliable post hoc removal methods.
• Program-as-Weights: A Programming Paradigm for Fuzzy Functions — Wentao Zhang, Liliana Hotsko, Woojeong Kim. Many everyday programming tasks resist clean rule-based implementation, such as alerting on important log lines, repairing malformed JSON, or ranking search results by intent, and are increasingly out...
• Online Safety Monitoring for LLMs — Mona Schirmer, Metod Jazbec, Alexander Timans. Despite alignment training, LLMs remain prone to generating unsafe outputs at deployment time.
• ReContext: Recursive Evidence Replay as LLM Harness for Long-Context Reasoning — Yanjun Zhao, Ruizhong Qiu, Tianxin Wei. Understanding and reasoning over long contexts has become a key requirement for deploying large language models (LLMs) in realistic applications.
