I did, once, about 30 years ago, lasted about 4 months before they went belly up from incompetent management in those early internet days. Small outfit, 20 employees, and I remember the day I knew it was doomed. The big honcho took us three programmers to lunch, telling us we were the future of the company, not those old-fashioned parasites manning the phones. The whole thing smelled so bad we immediately asked the phone people, and he had taken them to lunch the day before. They were the backbone of the company, not those incompetent bit pushers.

Fun while it lasted. He turned down two offers to buy him out, and was broke a month later.

The summary says: "Microsoft also addressed three zero-day flaws, including two that are already being exploited in the wild. "

(scratches head) How can a flaw be called zero-day and already be exploited in the wild?

Because a zero-day is any flaw made public before the developer knows about it. One of the main ways this happens is by noticing that hackers are breaking into systems using a heretofore unknown exploit.

wow, it must be nice to have such a perfect world view. its so simple! must make everything so much easier!!

If that were what I had said, your comment would be spot-on. However, your comment is wrong, and fits its own definition of being in such a stark world than only two choices are possible: perfect or wrong.

To elucidate: I said I was low in sympathy, not devoid of it.

That's the thing: these OpenAI things are basically Alexa +. But what's the plus? What compelling new features are being added that justify buying a new device, and paying for a bunch of AI data centers to make it work? I've got voice control for my smart home working cloudless already, and I rarely use it; I prefer silent interactions. Same for asking questions, I prefer using a regular search engine, where a quick peek at the returned links can give me an indication of how accurate the AI summary is (sometimes it is, often it isn't).
