They never mention anything about new refrigerants being flammable. They always just say "we've never seen anything like this!"

But they can't be bothered to have adequate contrast between the white text and the cloud it's covering.

It really is incredibly irresponsible for Microsoft to have integrated "AI" into Bing this early.

If the early bing chat release helps them figure out how to decrease hallucinations (with the staggering amount of data they have no doubt collected) then it will be worth it to them. Even if they have to throw some people a few million dollars in libel settlements.

I don't think any of this is meaningfully hurting MSFT at this point, the attention these stories are getting is much lower than the attention that the original bing chat release has. And neither of those are significant compared to the attention copilot 365 will receive if it actually ends up being good.

I think it was just messages being sent to and displayed by the Windows Messenger service.

It's the prototype for the NWO. Only half joking.

What's going to happen is an overconfidence in the absence of memory-related issues and an increase in the exploitation of other classes of bugs.

Your phrasing suggests that this trend is wasteful and will not result in a net improvement in software security overall. The numbers suggest otherwise. Memory corruption exploits currently occur twice as often as all other classes of exploits combined, and disproportionately account for the most severe exploits in the relevant studies. Automating them out of existence means being able to spend more time and attention on everything else.

I'm not so sure. If developers and testers and QA teams can spend less time on a class of issues, I imagine they'll have more time to spend on the other classes of issues, lowering their exploitability as well.

That's not a great take in practice. The main example in the article is Rust and while they concentrate on the memory safety, modern languages which provide it also provide other great features. If we stick with Rust, we also get fewer concurrency issues (language enforced), logic issues (algebraic data types help), encoding issues (richer APIs help), etc.

Try to find a specific vulnerability class which actually has a chance of getting more likely if you move from C to Rust.

... which is still a net win given that logic errors, AFAIK, take more effort to locate and exploit. (If someone has hard data that prove or disprove this, please share.)

I want 10TB optical media that costs $5 each.

It’s not optical, and it’s not “fast” in any traditional sense of the word, but LTO tapes can kind of approach what you’re suggesting. I’ve seen LTO-7 tapes sell for as low as $10 on eBay sometimes, and they advertise that you can get upwards of 15TB of storage if you enable compression.

Granted, while the tapes are comparatively cheap, the tape drives very much are not…

Trick is to stick to older LTO drives with U160 SCSI. Nobody wants them.

Honestly, I'd pay $50, maybe $100 for that.

That would be something like LaserDisc with BluRay media LOL

Or BDXL with 320 layers...

Really neat.

You've probably already seen them, but redbean and APE take a similar idea further:
