The One Pixel Attack: How a Single Dot Can Fool Deep Learning

2025/09/08 20:58

Welcome to another day of my 75 writing. Because clearly, nothing brings joy like discovering how a single rebellious pixel can throw your super-smart AI into a full-blown identity crisis. Today’s hot mess is called the One Pixel Attack — an adversarial trick that proves our so-called intelligent machines are, in fact, overconfident clowns in digital disguise.

Let’s warm up with some basics. A neural network for image classification takes an image x (say, a dog picture) and outputs a class label f(x) (hopefully “dog”). More formally, you can think of it like this:

f(x): R^(m × n × 3) → {1, 2, …, K}

Here:

  • m × n = width × height of the image,
  • 3 = color channels (RGB),
  • K = number of possible classes (dog, cat, airplane, etc.).

Now, the One Pixel Attack asks a very simple but devilish question:

What if I only change one single pixel in this giant grid of pixels? Could I trick the model into completely misclassifying the image?

Formally, the attacker wants to find another image x' such that:

  • The difference between x and x' is at most 1 pixel.
  • The label changes: f(x’) ≠ f(x).

That’s it. One dot. One tiny insult to the network’s intelligence. And shockingly, it works.

Why does one pixel matter?

The post Another Nasdaq-Listed Company Announces Massive Bitcoin (BTC) Purchase! Becomes 14th Largest Company! – They’ll Also Invest in Trump-Linked Altcoin! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. While the number of Bitcoin (BTC) treasury companies continues to increase day by day, another Nasdaq-listed company has announced its purchase of BTC. Accordingly, live broadcast and e-commerce company GD Culture Group announced a $787.5 million Bitcoin purchase agreement. According to the official statement, GD Culture Group announced that they have entered into an equity agreement to acquire assets worth $875 million, including 7,500 Bitcoins, from Pallas Capital Holding, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands. GD Culture will issue approximately 39.2 million shares of common stock in exchange for all of Pallas Capital’s assets, including $875.4 million worth of Bitcoin. GD Culture CEO Xiaojian Wang said the acquisition deal will directly support the company’s plan to build a strong and diversified crypto asset reserve while capitalizing on the growing institutional acceptance of Bitcoin as a reserve asset and store of value. With this acquisition, GD Culture is expected to become the 14th largest publicly traded Bitcoin holding company. The number of companies adopting Bitcoin treasury strategies has increased significantly, exceeding 190 by 2025. Immediately after the deal was announced, GD Culture shares fell 28.16% to $6.99, their biggest drop in a year. As you may also recall, GD Culture announced in May that it would create a cryptocurrency reserve. At this point, the company announced that they plan to invest in Bitcoin and President Donald Trump’s official meme coin, TRUMP token, through the issuance of up to $300 million in stock. *This is not investment advice.
