The humble PDF is becoming a problem for AI
PDFs are structurally hostile to large language models
Looking ahead: Three decades after Adobe introduced the Portable Document Format – a design intended to preserve the appearance of printed pages across devices – PDFs are facing pressure from a completely different kind of reader: artificial intelligence. The same fixed layouts that made PDFs indispensable to human users now make them difficult for large language models to interpret. Unlike web pages or plain-text files, columns, embedded graphics, and hidden metadata in PDFs often confuse machine parsing systems trained to process linear text.

Simulated war scenarios reveal AI's tendency to push toward nuclear strikes
Winners & losers: In a world where military planners are increasingly turning to AI for strategy modeling, a recent experiment from King's College London offers a serious warning: when left to their own devices, AI systems tend to go nuclear. Dr. Kenneth Payne, a defense studies scholar at the university, tested three of the most advanced LLMs: GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4, and Google Gemini 3 Flash, by placing them in a series of simulated global crises. The results revealed alarming patterns of aggression and miscalculation that challenge assumptions about AI's potential role in warfare management.
