AI model poisoning is real and we need to be aware of it
Monday, February 16, 2026 by Richard Harris
On a clear night I set up my telescope in the yard and let the mount hum along while the camera gathers light from something distant and patient. The workflow is a ritual. Focus by eye until the airy disk tightens. Shoot test frames and watch the histogram. Capture darks, flats, and bias frames so the quirks of the sensor can be cleaned away later.
