AI Forensics: The Missing Link in AI Decision-Making
I work in AI security and compliance. This just bothers me a little bit, putting AI systems in front of decisions that change people’s lives via insurance claims, hiring, credit, defense applications and when someone asks wait, why did the system do that? we basically have nothing that would hold up in a courtroom. The explainability tools we have right now? SHAP, LIME, attention maps but they’re research tools. They’re not evidence. Researchers have shown you can build a model that actively discriminates while producing perfectly clean looking explanations. They have unbounded error, they give you different answers on different runs, and there’s no way for the other side’s lawyer to independently check the work. That’s a problem if you’re trying to meet Daubert standards. And the regulatory side is moving just as fast. EU AI Act has record keeping requirements coming online. The FY26 NDAA has an AI cybersecurity framework provision with implementation due mid 2026. States are doing their own thing. Courts are starting to actually push back on AI evidence under FRE 702. There is a ton of AI observability tooling out there. Great for ops. There’s governance platforms. Great for policy. But when it comes to something that’s actually forensic grade where opposing counsel is actively trying to tear it apart, where a third party can independently verify what happened without just trusting the vendor,I’m not seeing it. What am I missing?
Arc Sentry: Advanced Prompt Injection Detector for LLMs
Been working on Arc Sentry, a whitebox prompt injection detector for self-hosted LLMs (Mistral, Llama, Qwen). Most detectors pattern-match on known attack phrases. Arc Sentry watches what the prompt does to the model’s internal representation instead, so it catches indirect, hypothetical, and roleplay-framed attacks that get through keyword filters. Benchmark on indirect/roleplay/technical prompts (40 OOD prompts): • Arc Sentry: Recall 0.80, F1 0.84 • OpenAI Moderation API: Recall 0.75, F1 0.86 • LlamaGuard 3 8B: Recall 0.55, F1 0.71 Arc Sentry has the highest recall — it catches more of the hard cases. Blocks before model.generate() is called. The lightweight pre-filter runs on CPU with no model access. pip install arc-sentry GitHub: https://github.com/9hannahnine-jpg/arc-sentry Happy to answer questions about how it works.
Exploring "As Above, So Below": AI Art Breakdown
**Here’s a detailed breakdown of every major element in the image I created for “As Above, So Below”:** **Central Figure** • **The Human**: A powerful, androgynous, muscular figure stands at the exact center, acting as the bridge between realms. This represents **humanity as the microcosm** — we contain and connect the vast universe (“above”) with the tangible world (“below”). • **Pose**: • **Right arm raised high** → pointing to the cosmos (“As Above”). The hand reaches toward stars and light, symbolizing aspiration, spirit, and the macrocosm. • **Left arm pointing downward** → toward Earth (“So Below”), grounding the divine into the physical world. • This mirrors the classic **Magician tarot gesture** but in a modern, cosmic style. **Upper Half – “As Above” (Macrocosm)** • **Swirling Galaxy / Nebula**: A massive, colorful spiral galaxy dominates the top, filled with purples, blues, golds, and stars. It represents the vast universe, celestial bodies, and cosmic forces. • **Bright Central Star / Light Source**: Intense golden light beams radiate from the center, symbolizing **divine source energy**, enlightenment, or the Big Bang / origin of everything. • **Stars and Cosmic Dust**: Scattered twinkling stars emphasize infinity and the interconnected web of the universe. **Connecting Symbol** • **Glowing Infinity Symbol (Lemniscate)**: Floating above the figure’s head, shining with golden light. This is the classic Hermetic sign of **eternal connection** and the never-ending loop between above and below — everything flows in an infinite cycle. **Lower Half – “So Below” (Microcosm)** • **Planet Earth**: Visible at the bottom with detailed continents (you can see North America), oceans, mountains, and clouds. It grounds the cosmic scene in our physical reality. • **Scientific & Natural Elements** (arranged around the figure): • **Human Brain** (left side): Neural networks mirroring galactic structures — showing how our minds reflect the cosmos. • **Flower (Purple Bloom)**: Represents nature’s perfect patterns (golden ratio in petals). • **Seashell (Nautilus)**: Classic example of the **golden spiral** in nature. • **Atom Model**: Electron orbits echoing planetary and galactic movements. • **Golden Ratio / Fibonacci Diagrams**: Mathematical squares, spirals, and equations scattered throughout — proving the same mathematical laws govern stars, atoms, flowers, and shells. • These show **self-similarity** (fractal-like repetition) across scales. **Overall Composition & Lighting** • **Horizontal Light Band**: A bright glowing horizon line separates “above” and “below,” with light rays shooting vertically through the figure — visualizing the direct correspondence and flow of energy between realms. • **Color Palette**: Deep cosmic purples/blues (mysterious universe) contrast with warm golds and earth tones (life and matter). • **Symmetry & Reflection**: The image is deliberately balanced top-to-bottom. Patterns in the galaxy echo the patterns on Earth and in the scientific symbols — the core message of the principle. • **Atmosphere**: Awe-inspiring, majestic, and unifying — blending ancient mysticism with modern science. **The Big Idea This Image Captures** The figure is literally **holding the connection** between the infinite cosmos and our everyday world. It says: **The laws that govern galaxies also govern atoms, flowers, brains, and human lives.** Study one, and you gain insight into all. This is my original take: a fusion of Hermetic philosophy, sacred geometry, fractal science, and cosmic wonder — exactly what “As above, so below” means to me.
