Tired of being afraid AI agents deleting your files by accident? There is some fixes, but this one is pretty simple: add `alias rm='trash'` to your .bashrc/.zshrc. `trash-cli` accepts the same flags as rm and your AI agent won't even notice it. No hooks, no config files, no agent-side setup.

Three-panel diagram explaining an audit method for LLM unlearning.
Panel A, “LLM Unlearning,” shows a trained language model and a modified “unlearned” model, highlighting that output-based metrics may give a misleading sense of privacy.
Panel B, “Our Audit,” illustrates comparing the two models using a Venn diagram to decompose mutual information into unlearned information and residual information.
Panel C, “Practical Impact,” shows that residual information can correlate with vulnerability to adversarial attacks, and suggests inference-time privacy protection through abstention.

A screenshot from the Gab AI page advertising its AI tools as promoting Christian values and free thinking: “The One AI They Can’t Control.” They provide an example of responses from different AI models to the question “who is the biggest perpetrator of political violence in America,” with ChatGPT and Gemini answering “right-wing” and Gab’s Arya answering “left-wing.
