Income != profit. Income is revenue. It sure would be nice if businesses were taxed on income, given that’s how people are taxed and all. Aren’t corporations supposedly people now thanks to citizens united?

Show HN: Steganography in natural language using LLM logit-rank steering

shevis — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 12:05:23 +0000

I have had this idea rattling around my head for a while now. From the readme:

> subtext-codec is a proof-of-concept codec that hides arbitrary binary data inside seemingly normal LLM-generated text. It steers a language model's next-token choices using the rank of each token in the model's logit distribution. With the same model, tokenizer, prefix, and parameters, the process is fully reversible -- enabling text that reads naturally while secretly encoding bytes.

Basically, use the fact that LLMs learn a deterministic probability distribution over next-token generation to create seemingly innocuous ciphertext that is hard to detect.

A side effect of replacing entire pages with images is that the file size will expand dramatically. Most PDFs only contain a couple of images

I always thought it was a bit silly to refer to it as a “zero player game“.

The problem is that they are opting to ban all games labeled “NSFW”, not just rape/incest games.

Gaming. Linux gaming has come a long way (especially thanks to the steam deck) but the vast majority of games are still only released on Windows.

> requires a model of how consciousness works.

Not necessarily an entire model, just a single defining characteristic that can serve as a falsifying example.

> any information they can communicate to me, exists entirely in (R^n)^c

Also no. This is just a result of the digital medium we are currently communicating over. Merely standing in the same room as them would communicate information outside (R^n)^c.
