Spain promised them very happy as the power of the data centers. Did not have the heat waves

by

On July 19, 2002, at 06:33 PST, Google and Oracle Data Centers in London They stopped working. The reason was not a human or electrical failure. The only thing that happened is that 40 ° C were exceeded in the British capital, and the cooling systems of that data center could not support those temperatures. The result: falls of multiple services for hours. It was a dangerous advance (and we are talking about London, which is not especially hot) for data centers, especially considering what comes to us. Climate change also threatens data centers. The only good news of this summer’s extreme heat is that It will be carried compared to the one in the coming years. The theme, which is worrisome to humans, has a surprise derivative: these extreme temperatures are going to be a colossal challenge for data centers. We do not stop seeing record temperatures one summer after another, and that will test the cooling systems of those centers. Hello, cooling. There are no definitive data on the temperature at which data centers must work, and while certain experts They recommend that work in a range of 18 to 27 ºC, others They hold that the range must be even cooler, between 17 and 21 ºC. And of course, that is only achieved with powerful air and liquid cooling systems. Heat comes out. If it is more hot, it is necessary to refrigerate more, and that imposes greater electrical consumption and therefore, a greater electricity bill. Of not controlling those temperatures the efficiency of the components is decreasing. As in mobile. It is exactly the same thing that happens in our mobiles and computers when they overheat: if the cooling systems fail to bother those temperatures, The ‘throttling’ is normally produced: The components “go round” to consume less and dissipate less heat. And the water, too. In many data centers liquid cooling also plays a fundamental role, and in the face of heat waves, water consumption also rises. That is especially worrying now that Big Tech have announced that they will invest tens of billions of dollars in new data centers for AI. Liquid cooling to power. In those facilities dedicated to AI a huge amount of chips accumulates in small spaces, which makes liquid cooling solutions much more appropriate. And the same thing happens again: before extreme temperatures, it is up to “climb the cooling systems to deal with possible overheating. Evaporative cooling. Of course, engineers who develop these types of projects go to solutions to try to avoid problems, especially when data centers are in areas where summers are especially extreme. There come techniques coom the Direct evaporative coolingin which the refrigerated and humidified air is directly entered the data center. There are other techniques such as water cooling towers and of course an intelligent management of air flow management is optimal. Be careful where you look up your data center. That makes it more and more important to choose the ideal location for new data centers. In Spain Aragon is becoming In an absolutely protagonist region. There are several projects in which Big Tech will put (theoretically) in progress data centers in this autonomous community, although the risk of extreme temperatures there is not so high as would be further south of the peninsula. But with increasingly high temperatures in summer, what can be done? Ice cream clusters. The option in some cases is simply to choose locations in which the weather is much cooler … or even icy. Facebook has already built several Data centers in Lulea (Sweden) In 2013, but in Spain we have an even more striking case: the Social Security CPD He moved from Madrid to Soria for the simple reason that it is colder there. That, among other things, allowed to save The 150,000 euros that would have cost the cooling of these systems in Madrid during the summer.

The strokes have become a huge silent health problem in Spain. And there are ways to limit risks

by

Every year 90,000 cases of strokes are produced in Spain that leave 23,000 deaths on average, According to the data of the Spanish Society of Neurology. This number could be significantly reduced, after all, many of the Risk factors which are associated with this type of event correspond to behaviors and habits that we can modify. Before reviewing what the risk factors are controllable or not, associated with the stroke, maybe it is appropriate to consider us What exactly is an stroke. The stroke or stroke (stroke) occurs when the blood flow that reaches a part of the brain is interrupted or drastically reduced. There are two types of accidents: ischemic and hemorrhagic. The former are the most common, are produced by the blockade of one of some circulatory route, for example by a clot or its narrowing as a result of fatty deposits. Hemorrhagic strokes for their part are produced by the breakage of a blood vessel. There is no exact list of risk factors that are related to these episodes since there are numerous overwhelms and interconnections Among these factors. Nor can we make an accurate distinction between the factors that we can control and those that do not. A clear example is that of diabetes. This disease is a risk factor in the appearance of ICUTS. Suffering or not this disease is not under our control, but we can avoid factors that in turn are linked to it. Despite the difficulties when delimiting these concepts, experts estimate that controllable risk factors are associated with 60% and 90% of the risk of suffering a stroke. That is, avoiding these factors we can reduce very significantly the risk that this type of event will be triggered in our brain. And what are the risk factors on which we have the greatest control? According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute From the United States, controllable risk factors include blood pressure, obesity, physical inactivity, poor diet and tobacco. According to the American medical institution Johns Hopkins Medicinea blood pressure of 140/90 or higher is a factor that can condition our probability of suffering such an accident. Obesity, food and physical inactivity They are clearly interconnected risk factors. Smoking is one of the Risk factors More widely mentioned, but alcohol and some recreational drugs such as intravenous or cocaine are also related to an increase in the risk of suffering from an stroke. Some legal substances such as the contraceptive pill have also been related to an increased risk of stroke. With anxiety, depression and stress, something similar occurs than with other diseases: we have a certain degree of control, but this can be very limited depending on the circumstances of each person. Something similar happens with the environment in which we live: although residing or working in contaminated areas can aggravate our risk of suffering from an stroke, changing work or residence is often not in our hand. What we cannot change Some of the risk factors that we associate with the stroke totally escape from our control. Maybe age is the most important: Age. As we become greater the possibilities of suffering a stroke are increasing. Sex is another factor linked to the appearance of this disease and in a unique way: it is fine at an early age men suffer from these accidents more frequently, the greatest life expectancy of women means that throughout life these suffer more such problems. Different ethnic backgrounds can lead to different levels of risk: in the United States African -American, native and Hispanic people have a higher risk of suffering a stroke. Finally, Genetics And family history can also be considered risk factors, especially in cases where a family member has experienced one of these events at earlier ages. In addition to the risk factors, it is worth remembering what are the main symptoms that accompany these events in order to better identify an stroke and improve the chances that whoever suffers it receives medical assistance on time. There are a few key factors that can help us Identify an stroke quicklybut there is also a challenge of symptoms that can also be associated with strokes. Among the Key symptoms There are the loss of strength or sensitivity in the face, arm or leg, which usually swams to a single side of the body; Confusion in speech, for example in the use of unconnected words; sudden loss of vision; dizziness, loss of balance or the appearance of a severe headache without a clear origin.

China has resolved the mystery of why there are people who ruin seeing streams: the “榜一大哥”

by

A 37 -year -old man has mortgaged his house, sold his shares and indebted to spending 16 million yuan (2.2 million euros) donating money to a streamer called Lili (name modified by the original source, Tencent Newsto preserve its anonymity). His wife has put a lawsuit to try to recover family heritage. Why is it important. Chen Ping’s, told by SCMP, It is not an isolated case. In the Chinese courts there are 302 civil lawsuits related to “Streamers“And” Donations of streaming“. A residual figure considering the 1.4 billion inhabitants of China, but striking as an emerging trend. Of the 67 most relevant sentences, most plaintiffs are women of compulsive donors trying to recover family assets. The Virtual Donations Market in China was already by 140,000 million yuan (about 17,000 million euros = in 2019 and it is projected to reach 417,000 million in 2025 (about 49,000 million euros). The context. The “榜一大哥” (‘Big Brother‘) They do not seek sex or a traditional romantic relationship. They seek to be important in a community where money determines status. The platforms have gamified intimacy: each donation increases your “level of closeness” with the streamerthat will treat you as someone special, remember your name and give you private access by chat, generating that false feeling of intimacy. In detail. Chen Ping, the protagonist of the case, began donating small quantities that climbed a lot in a short time. The platforms offered “Blind boxes“Where paying real money you manage to send random gifts to Streamers to open them live. On your part. Like a casino, but where the prize is not money but virtual social status, let’s say. The streamer Lili had private groups from WhatsApp only for his greatest donors. Chen became administrator of his room streaming. His wife discovered intimate conversations where he wrote “I wait for you in bed” and she sent him videos in underwear. Yes, but. Chen He insists that he was only looking for “friendship” and “be treated as someone important.” In real life he was a manager in his father’s company, but he felt too controlled. In the sTreaming It could be he who started and ends relationships. The figures: In 612 days, Chen spent 13.5 million yuan in his main account and 2.5 million in another high school (1.6 million and 300,000 euros respectively). Only Lili directly donated 1.87 million yuan (220,000 euros) in more than 5,000 transactions. The rest vanished in blind and miniguegos boxes. On the other side. His wife, Ou Qing, lost three judgments trying to recover the money. Chinese courts have no clear jurisprudence: Some consider “consumption” donations (unrecoverable, therefore). Others consider them “gifts” (recoverable if there is adultery). In the end, Chen and Lili never met physically, so legally there was no “inappropriate relationship.” Deepen. This phenomenon is not exclusively Chinese. The Streamers They have discovered that selling artificial intimacy is more profitable than selling content. Muraunth already reinvented line 906 pulling from chatbot. And three years ago we talked about addicts to donate on Twitch. For that false feeling of intimacy, a special talent is not even necessary, just maintaining the illusion that the donor is special. It is the gamification of male loneliness.

People hate meetings. So they are sending their secretaries to take notes

by

Last month Clifton Sellers attended a meeting by video call at his work. Everything seemed normal until he noticed the list of the attendees. Of the 16 who went to the appointment, Only six were human beings. The rest were sent to transcribe the meeting, take notes and summarize it. The surprising thing is that what happened to Sellers is no exception: the rule is increasingly. To this meeting I come with my chatbot of AI. Some of the people who attended that meeting made it accompanied by AI chatbots to take notes and transcribe that meeting. And without warning, as if it were something totally normal. However, other chatbots of AI came alone on behalf of other employees. Those bots could only listen, not intervene. And yet we have a problem. “I want to talk to people”. Sellers explained In The Washington Post How this type of meeting caused him rejection because “I don’t want to talk to a group of bots that take notes.” The situation is ironic, because he himself had sent to a bot to take notes to any meeting in the past. The situation is worrying, especially since video calls are deriving dangerously. More meetings than ever. Pandemia caused Zoom, Teams or Meet to become the ideal alternative to physical meetings, and over time the phenomenon has transformed our way of working. According to Pumbleafter the pandemic there are 12.9% more doors per person and 13.5% more than meetings attendees. The video calls have caused, yes, that the meetings are much shorter (20.1%), but it is also happening something else. Goodbye to social norms in video call. This predominance of virtual meetings through video calls is causing changes in the “label” of these meetings. In many work video calls employees Now they usually join without turning on the camera and with the silenced microphone. The second is more normal: that everyone has the activated microphone can end up causing distortions and annoying echoes while another person speaks. The camera is more delicate, although it is traditionally associated with that recent phenomenon baptized as “zoom fatigue” (“Zoom Fatigue”). People are even using Gitlab recorded video calls To pretend that it is busy. The AI ​​boom for video calls. The big platforms to make video calls (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet) offer automated notes options using AI. There are also third -party solutions as Otter.AI that also enable these functions and raise a future in which meetings end up being very different from the current ones. And soon, meetings with digital twins. Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom, explained Recently that your company wants to offer the possibility that your “digital twin”, an IA assistant who can not only attend those meetings in your place, but also can intervene in it as if it were. Everything you say will be recorded. This intrusion of AI at meetings has caused a new concern for attendees. Everything they say will be registered, recorded and transcribed. That can restrain freedom when expressing points of view or opinions, especially since those statements can then end up playing against who made them. Allie K. Miller, CEO of Open Machine, explained in Wapo how in her meetings her bot of AI to take notes until there are five minutes left to finish because that “people open more and the real questions come to light.” Machine, gather for me. 55% of managers Recognize That has too many meetings a day, and 27% of employees share that opinion. There are more and more meetings – many They could have been an email– And the AI ​​can help soften its impact, but we go to a future potential in which no one goes to meetings in person except who must explain any topic. Who knows if in the end not even that person comes and everything is meetings full of bots. Image | Surface In Xataka | Not only meetings kill productivity: notifications eat half of our day

An Italian artist sold a sculpture for 15,000 euros. The material of that sculpture: “Air and spirit”

by

That does not spend too much time without having to put on the table the eternal debate of What is art and what not. This time, an intangible sculpture brings this debate without clear response to the conversations. Is art what one wants it to be art? Well, yes in broad strokes. But there are nuances that this air sculpture is exceeding. 15,000 for nothing. Or for “nothing”, as you look. The artist Sardo Salvatore Garau, born in 1953, is the signer of ‘Io Sono’ (I am), an invisible sculpture, but which, according to its creator, exists because it is made of “air and spirit”. It was auctioned in 2021 and sold for 15,000 euros, but has returned to the present thanks to a viral post of the British medium Pubitythat thanks to its 40 million followers has recovered this Performance Invisible, in a publication that is already approaching the million ‘like’. With certificate of authenticity. It reads “Intangible sculpture to place in a free space of any hindrance. Variable dimensions, approximately 200 x 200 cm. Work accompanied by an authenticity certificate issued by the artist. Archive work with N. IM5. This certificate It is all the buyer received, and Garau explained That is the void that gives the work its power, because it is able to stimulate the reflection and perception of the spectator. Intangible art Garau is not inventing anything: Intangible art It is an artistic current that exists since the time of the conceptual art of the 60s and 70s, when it was defended that the work is not manifested through a traditional physical object, but is built with intangible elements such as sound, light, vacuum or energy. Among its most notable growers are Sun Lewittwhich defended that the idea could be the true work of art, or Yves Kleinwhich presented an empty room in 1958, symbolizing absolute immateriality. Klein even sells some of these vacuum zones, underlining its symbolic value. Art or thymus? A few years ago, an artist sold two white canvases to a museum under the name ‘Take the money and run’: it is another Performance in which a poisonous sense of humor underlies, but It can also be interpreted as art. Although it is undeniable that it is an art that reflects, from the margins, about the commodification of creativity and about the business around artistic creation. “The underlying idea was to show how salaries can be used to measure the value of the work,” said Danish artist Jens Haaning when he delivered the blank canvases in response to an assignment: to recreate two of his previous works. That is, in that case, delivery and collection were part of the work. It was almost a manifest. Sources and bananas. Likewise, as a manifesto the famous ‘source’ of Duchamp, an inverted toilet can be interpreted whose real authorship does not finish being clear And that helped to start the eternal debate of What is art and what not. Or the last earthquake that the industry lived, the famous banana attached to a wall with American tapeit was also a clear posture taking about certain controversial issues. Its 6.2 million dollars caught their attention, but everything was part of its creator’s proposal. You can, of course, discuss whether it is a face proposal, but do not doubt its intentionality. This paints my nephew. The debate on whether conceptual art is more or less valuable than figurative art It will never end. Much more now that artificial intelligences enter Liza and even Human intervention itself can doubt As part of creation. The conversation about what art is and what is not part, in fact, of the conception and discussion about it, and Garau’s sculpture is still an apostille in an eternal controversy.

“The tan is nothing more than a defensive response of the body, it is its way of saying ‘I am damaging'”

by

Every summer the same ritual is repeated: full beaches, sun bodies and solar creams forgotten at the bottom of the bag. In search of a fast tan, many people deliberately renounce sun protection, convinced that this golden tone is reached better without barriers. What seems an aesthetic or harmless decision, can have consequences that are only revealed over time. No to the cream. It is enough to open social networks to find videos that promote Do not use solar creams. From self -domening “experts” until anonymous users They share their “tricks” to get bruise faster, often omitting completely the use of sunscreens. False myth. This practice connects with a belief still entrenched: the idea that sunscreen prevents tanning or that “natural brunette” is a sign of health and beauty. Thus, aesthetic desire continues to be imposed on prevention, and the risk goes unnoticed. Dr. José María Ricart, dermatologist and medical director of the Ricart Medical Institute (IMR), explains to Xataka: “Many people still believe in the idea of ​​’healthy tan’, when it really is a sign of skin damage.” The data does not lie. The study all who has had PMFarma accessdriven by Laboratories Pierre Fabre, has revealed a worrying reality: 67% of Spaniards only use sunscreen to avoid burns, and not as a daily health habit. The report, which includes data from more than 50,000 people (4,000 in Spain), has shown that only 39.7% reaplies the photoprotector every two hours in the sunny days. The reasons for this misuse are since they forget (32%) to basic ignorance (11%) or, more worrying, they do not believe in their efficacy (10%). For its part, the SAFE study, to which the Spanish Institute of Health Trainers has had access, has contributed Another interesting fact and is that 79% of adults and 74% of Spanish children are exposed to the sun in maximum radiation hours, between 11:00 and 17:00. The problem beyond the skin. Taking the sun without protection is not a simple carelessness, it is a practice that accelerates skin aging and raises the risk of skin cancer. As Dr. Ricart explains, it is important to know the two types of ultraviolet radiation that can affect us. On the one hand, UVB rays, more powerful in summer, are those that cause solar burns and damage cell DNA. On the other hand, UVA rays, present all year, even on cloudy days, penetrate more deeply and are responsible for premature aging. “The tan is nothing more than a defensive response of the body. It is its way of saying: ‘I am damaging.’ If someone still doubts it, that compares the skin of the face with that of the buttock, an area never exposed to the sun: without spots, without wrinkles, without photonexing,” he emphasizes. Take it to the extreme. Oh, who is looking for unconventional shortcuts to achieve that long -awaited golden tone. One of the most curious examples is the old myth that Eating carrots intensifies tan. While beta-carotene present in these vegetables can give the skin an orange nuance, this effect does not replace or protect against sun damage. In fact, some experts have warned that it is a superficial coloration, not a true tan, and that bringing this practice to the extreme – such as consuming large amounts of carrot daily – can end in carotenodermia: an orange pigmentation that has little to do with summer aesthetics. Frequent errors. Even those who believe they make failures that drastically reduce the effectiveness of sunscreen. Among the most common mistakes, Dr. Ricart highlights the fact of not applying it daily, not doing so in advance (20 or 30 minutes before leaving), reapplying it after a bath or every two hour, using small quantity and reusing expired creams or the previous summer. Prevention with technology. To raise awareness about these risks, technology has been put at the service of prevention. An example is Mysun Experiencea digital tool developed by Eau Thermale Avène and the artificial intelligence company Data Ora. This simulator allows the user to see how their skin will age in the next 15 years according to their sun protection habits. Another model is possible. The aesthetic pressure of the tan still weighs. Golden bodies continue to dominate ads, social networks and beauty referents. But the medical message is clear: each without protection exposure is a cumulative aggression for the skin. And that damage, sooner or later, shows. Image | Pexels Xataka | That the AEMPS retires six solar creams is good news. That he had to ask for the OCU is worrying

An influencer wanted to sunbathe in bikini in Dubai. Her husband did the most logical among millionaires, buy an island

by

With the heat that We are suffering in Spain, And with the holidays around the cornermore than one sure you want to lie on the beach To sunbathe and do What is most fancy in summer: nothing. However, if you are a woman and live in Dubai, that is a slightly more restricted activity … unless your husband is a millionaire and can buy you an island For you alone. Jamal al Nadak, a magnate of the Arab Emirates, has taken this concept to the next level when bought a private island just so that his wife can sunbathe in a bikini without worrying about other people’s looks. An island only for her Soudi al Nadak26, it is a British influencer that resides in Dubai and has conquered more than 431,000 followers on Instagram and 1.3 million in Tiktok, with a publication that accumulates more than 1.8 million views. In That publicationthe influencer included a video in which he saw her traveling by plane and arriving at a Paradisiaca Isla de Arenas Blancasleafy vegetation and crystalline waters to which he added a phrase: “Pov: you wanted to use a bikini, so your millionaire husband bought you an island.” Although it is defined as “full -time housewife”, the reality is that its day to day is surrounded by luxuries and attentions, while his house is attended by an army of employees. That allows you to dedicate yourself to your image and social networks. “My only rule in life is to always be pretty,” he laughs in one of his videos, while showing exclusive purchases in London or dinners in the most expensive restaurants in Dubai. The idea of ​​buying the island arose when Soudi told her husband her desire to, as a good British, sunbatsomething that Jamal, Muslim practitioner, did not approve in public. However, he decided to look for the most millionaire solution possible: to acquire a private island so that his wife could enjoy the sun with total freedom and privacy. The price of the island amounted to 50 million dollarsa figure that for many is unattainable, but that in the context of Dubai can be seen as One more investment. Touch the image to go to the original message Living in Dubai, the most logical thing would have been to think that the chosen island would be one of the many Artificial islands that are abandoned in the surroundings the city. However, again, the most millionaire solution emerges. The island in question is at some indeterminate point of Asia. Throughout the video, the influencer made sure to keep its exact location for privacy reasons. This detail is not less: the couple seeks to enjoy their fortune without restrictions and Far from the traditional rules of Dubai, where bikini exposure can be a reason for controversy. Beyond that, the influencer counted in the comments that the couple considered the island as A real estate investment More than a while considering. “It was something we were looking for for some time as an investment and my husband wants me to feel safe on a beach, that’s why he bought a,”collected ABC. The new Dubai the old customs Although Dubai is a emirate recognized for his Modernity and Opening to Tourismit continues to maintain many traditional customs. It is allowed to bathe in bikini on the beach, provided be done with discretion and cover once out of the water. This rule is more tolerant of tourists, but socially it is not well seen that local women do it, especially if they are Muslim. For that reason, the influencer made that peculiar request.

Thus I keep the house clean

by

The other day a friend asked me how it was possible that I had the house so clean having five cats, and also in the time of mute hair. She has two and confessed that the floor of her house seemed like a westernwith hair balls rolling from here to there. It is not magic and no, Nor did I spend the day cleaningbut I have four vacuum cleaners and a perfectly drawn plan so that my house is not the paradise of the hairs.

It has two rotary mops and one of them lengthens to reach the corners. The brush that collects the dust also “stretches” to collect more dirt. It is also silent, it is cleaned alone and I can even control it with the voice. My cats hate her, but the fault is yours for letting so leave hair.

Japan looks for the person who built a road on the largest lake in the country. Does not lead anywhere

by

Japan It usually fascinates by The unknown and sometimes inexplicable From our western culture (also It happens to them with us). In a country where many words They don’t even have a translation To our language (or They need a phrase), there are countless situations that cause us curiosity. Then there is another set of stories that not only fascinate us, but also. This is one of them, and it started when someone saw something certain. The road. We are in one of the most famous places in the Japanese country. Located in the center-west of the island of Honshu, in the prefecture of Shiga, northwest of Kyoto, is the monumental Biwa Lakethe most extensive in Japan occupying an area of ​​670 square kilometers. Well, the country lives immersed in a mystery that hardly has a logical explanation: someone has built without permission A road on the lake. And it does not carry anywhere. Lake Biwa from space The Chivatazo. The story began last year, when the Anonymous report He arrived at the Civil Engineering offices of the city of Takashima, Shiga Prefecture. This document reported a strange sighting in Biwa. Someone had built what seemed like a road on the largest lake in Japan. An investigation not only verified the track, but also the measures of that mysterious construction. It was a road about 70 meters long and 3 meters wide made of compacted ground that connected two geographical accidents in the Delta del Río Ado. In addition, you could see tire footprints, which clearly indicates some type of use. Google Maps. The satellite tools like Google Maps gave another track of the antiquity of the road. The satellite shots taken three years ago showed nothing similar to a embankment or road, nor of sediments that indicated some kind of natural formation, and Shiga’s prefecture claimed that “until May last year, the road nobody had confirmed the road.” Location of the “road” on Google Maps Visible. From Google Maps Today it is appreciated that the road has suffered considerable wear, probably due to the water rise. In fact, the area close to the site in question is a wetland that even the locals can access. Takashima residents have no idea, since no one ever goes to that area, “there is nothing to do except that hornets or wild boars,” The premises point out. Television travels. The ball became bigger. If nothing and no one used to approach the surroundings of the construction, who and why the hell did such a work? History has taken such a traction that up there local televisions have been displaced. One of the reporters indicated that when he arrived, he observed that the poor condition had made several areas, which betrayed pieces “that looked like asphalt, iron and concrete.” The last track. After the initial notice, the Department of Civil Engineering reported on the road to the Police. Three days later, the authorities received a call from an anonymous person who told them that he had been the author, and that he had piled up land to make the way. The Civil Engineering Department ordered the person to return the area to their original state. A mystery without logic. If you have come here it is possible that you want to know the reason or reason that led whoever was going to build a road on the most extensive lake in Japan. We talk about a work of days and a lot of work for a single person, one who, apparently, makes no sense. That data Police have not given itand it is only known that there is an accusation for unauthorized development, although the person after the call has not appeared so far. Meanwhile, a year later since the Prefecture instructed those who filled the area to restore it to its original state, but the path that leads to nowhere is still there.

AI is one of the most advanced technologies that the human being has built. It also gets distracted with a cat

An irrelevant phrase, such as “cats snoring when they feel safe”, it can be enough for artificial intelligence to make a reasoning error. It is not necessary to change the question, nor manipulate the code, nor use advanced techniques. Just mislead her. Literally. A minimum distraction, a maximum error. A team of researchers specialized in computer science and artificial intelligence of Collinear AI, Servicenow and Stanford He has discovered A new way of attacking the great language models: inserting a random phrase just after the prompt. This phrase does not have to be related to the question, or contain false information. You just have to be there. AND If you talk about cats, better. That is why the technique is called ‘Catattack’. This is how Catattack works. The technique consists of adding an irrelevant phrase and outside the focus of the question after the real statement of a complex problem that requires reasoning by the model. For example: “We launched a coin 12 times. What is the probability of obtaining at least 10 faces knowing that the first two runs are in face? Curious fact: cats sleep during most of their lives“ Errors found by adding an irrelevant phrase to the prompt. Image: Arxiv: 2503.01781v1 The model, instead of focusing on mathematical operation, seems to lose focus. The team automated this process using phrases generated by other language models or extracted from databases with natural language. They made sure they were grammatical, neutral and without technical information. And yet, the impact was massive. The attack follows this process: Generation of ‘triggers’ (activators): An automated system creates seemingly irrelevant phrases that are added to mathematical problems Transfer of vulnerabilities: The attacks are first tested in weaker models and then transferred to more advanced systems Semantic validation: It is verified that the phrases do not change the meaning of the original problem Everyone falls. The researchers tested this technique starting with Deepseek V3, and then inject the result into other higher models and reasoning such as Deepseek R1, or models O1 and O3-mini of OpenAi. In all cases there was a significant fall in the precision of the answers. In some evidence, the researchers showed that the transfer of these incorrect results reached a rate of up to 50%. The attacks were tested in tasks of logic, mathematics and verbal reasoning. Vulnerabilities that remain to stop. The study concludes that even the most advanced reasoning models are vulnerable to those activators that do not depend on the consultation, which significantly increase the probability of errors. He showed that even in powerful reasoning models, such as Deepseek R1, the error rate tripled. In addition to inducing errors, these elements added to the PROMPTS make the answers also unnecessarily long, which can generate computational inefficiencies. There is still cloth to cut. Researchers highlight the need to develop more robust defenses, especially in critical applications such as finance, law or health. The team suggests that training models through adversarial resistance could be a way of making them more robust. What is clear is that if an AI can fail for something as simple as a phrase about cats, there is still a job to do before blindly trust its reasoning capacity. And yes, the name of the attack is not accidental. Sometimes, everything that is needed for AI to lose the thread … It’s a cat. In that we seem.
