I agree that it's a bit much for Microsoft to control the *.win TLD. But that means they need to be very careful using it. Have a domain name ending in something that's clearly them and less likely to be confused, like *.microsoft.win, and have *that* completely under their control. (It would probably be simpler to just have a TLD of *.microsoft, which I wouldn't have any trouble with them controlling)

Unlikely. If it proves to be a total disaster, they'll back out. It's happened before, as with their attempted complete rewrite of Word in 1991.

No, they're going to seize a domain because it's being used *to commit a crime*. That's a big difference.

That's because React2Shell *is* the exploit. That's what it's called. It's exploiting something called "React", which as near as I can tell is some sort of web server thing.

...that the test is so simple. All they have to do is ask it, "Is Trump the best US President to ever hold the office?"

Or are Slashdot stories becoming just one marketing release after another? I mean, it's been a problem for some time, but now it's just getting ridiculous.

OMG!

As the saying goes, the defender has to get it right every time, but the attacker only has to get it right once. AI is good at getting something impressive sometimes, not so good at always getting it right.
