Google researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence system that can generate lifelike videos of people speaking, gesturing and moving — from just a single still photo. I'm looking forward to seeing it in many videos, trying to sell me shady crypto investments
Sorry about being redundant there.

We have film or video of every famous (or infamous) person who lived in the past 100+ years, which may be used to animate them. The only use for this new technology is to animate non-famous people, or people who lived before cinema was invented, assuming a photo or statue of them exists.
I doubt very many Americans would care what "Abraham Lincoln" or "George Washington" said about current affairs, Italians would care what "Julius Casear" said about their government, or Germans would care what "Otto von Bismarck" had to say.

One startup released “the first AI software engineer,” while another aims to build a “superhuman software engineer.” As intimidating as these sound: what if it’s more marketing than reality? Yes

If it is Groot, maybe we should be rewatching "The Happening" and figure out what ticked off the trees.

If Microsoft entering your space is enough to make you quit or enough to kill your business then you were never creative, determined, or passionate enough to succeed in the first place. Sawing off the branch you're sitting on: .NET Edition
Hug a third party developer or maintainer today. (and maybe support them while you're at it)

Is he suggesting that Microsoft is making everything on purpose to help us find our creativity, determination and / or passion?

Microsoft has announced that RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits will soon be deprecated in Windows Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide increased security. You must be *this big* to be secure (for now)

Do not try and make it secure, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth... there is no real 100% security.
