If you noticed that certain Office apps are now crashing more than usual, that is because a bug in recent releases is causing Outlook, Word, and OneNote to crash when typing, spell-checking or performing other authoring tasks and actions. Stop typing

The words that I'd use if this happened might not be in its speech-to-text recognition system or dictionary.

DLL Hell. Turns out the culprit is out of date language packs. Why Microsoft doesn't update their language packs when they update Windows each month is the real issue.

Microsoft warned customers this Tuesday to patch a critical TCP/IP remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability with an increased likelihood of exploitation that impacts all Windows systems using IPv6, which is enabled by default. Someone found a use for IPv6?

They probably should have said even less about this one and just tried to push/publicize "you want this patch yesterday".
RCE over basic network protocol that is everywhere? This thing could literally go off like a rocket fuel factory.
I assume industrial grade networking appliances have some bits in their firmware to detect and chuck malicious packets out a window. But that stuff probably still has to be updated unless it pulls definitions like virus scanners do.

In a significant development for the ongoing debate over the future of artificial intelligence (AI), a new study led by researchers from the University of Bath and the Technical University of Darmstadt has debunked the notion that AI, specifically large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, poses an existential threat to humanity. That's what humans are for after all

Do we need to send that paper through the software professors use on student papers to see if it had AI help?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

That's probably, because IT IS NOT A FVCKING AI only a advanced statistics.

If someone plugs even our current AI into the game of 'global thermonuclear war,' these researchers need to lose their tenure, and everything else they own.

The conflation of terminology means that if there is any sort of risk we will probably find out some of the worst case scenarios.
"Oh no no, the legislation says artificial general intelligence must have such guardrails. This is artificial specific intelligence. Our legal team ran it through LexisAI(tm) and cleared it for takeoff."

Even as AI reshapes the hiring and skills landscape, the technology itself will eventually be embedded in all digital tools, says Ken Englund, who leads Ernst & Young's Americas Technology Growth sector. So workers need to learn now how to use it — or pay later. I have to wait that long?
