arXiv:2608. 12346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This position paper argues that modern AI alignment methods - originally designed to prevent harmful output - are dual-use technologies that may easily be misused by malicious actors for censorship and manipulation.

arXiv:2608. 13221v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The evaluation of LLM reasoning is moving from final-answer accuracy to process-level assessment, yet existing methods still fail to capture how models plan reasoning paths and allocate reasoning resources--that is, how they organize search.

arXiv:2608. 13484v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When asked about entities outside their knowledge boundary, LLMs routinely fabricate plausible-sounding details rather than backing off to safer, more general claims.

arXiv:2608. 12321v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When a salient surface cue competes with an implicit feasibility constraint, LLMs often fail -- but aggregate accuracy conflates genuine constraint inference with conservative defaulting.

arXiv:2608. 13267v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing vision-language model (VLM) benchmarks emphasize perception and reasoning accuracy (how well VLMs describe and reason about what they see in an image), with limited attention to behavioral reliability under uncertainty (how they behave when visual evidence is missing or misleading).
