Microsoft announced 2023's first major batch of updates for Windows 11, part of the company's plan to release new Windows features "when they are ready" instead of waiting for the big annual update in the fall. If you're living in the moment

Why should you try the latest preview? Because it’s like living in the future – you get to try all the capabilities that we’re actively working on for the upcoming 17.6 release, influence their development early by providing your suggestions and by reporting any problem you encounter. "Don't you fret. We're living in the future, and none of this has happened yet"

A new report on the antivirus market from Security.org reveals that almost three-quarters of Americans still strongly believe computers need antivirus to protect their devices and 61 percent are relying on free options like Microsoft Defender. And 61% of them don't know they're running antivirus software
And a few more percent after it gets auto-installed on some machines

What can I say? I was paying for one, but the f***er kept popping up ads for junklock. (lifelock) So...

So who's paying Security.org? Norton or McAfee? Defender is generally lighter weight on Windows and is on par with paid AV solutions at detection, cleaning, and false positives. Where it falls down is centralized management, but Microsoft has a solution for that that uses the Defender AV engine on the client.

OpenAI, an AI research and deployment company financially backed by Microsoft, has published a blog post urging caution and foresight for the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which is defined as AI that can perform any intellectual task that humans can. But, we'll keep working on creating it anyway

People have been saying this for decades.
There have been dozens of movies illustrating the point, like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Terminator.
Meanwhile, we're not even close to "true" artificial intelligence yet, it's all machine learning, i.e. statistics.
If people put as much effort into AI as in these types of publications we'd have an AI that could solve all of humanity's problems by now

And I hope it remains so...
But we are so dumb, that we will keep trying it until we "succeed"

Microsoft 365 Defender has AI-based capabilities, which the company says can detect and disable compromised accounts and services attackers are trying to use. Somewhere between "well" and "poorly", depending on your results

And by the time the EU regulators are done, those AIs will be conscious and that regulations will probably piss them off and set the first step towards the judgement day...

With generative AI being all the rage these days, Tabnine has updated its AI-powered code completion tool for Visual Studio Code with new functionality: unit testing. Now you can have an AI generate the stuff you weren't doing anyway!

Oh my, was it AI that generated all that stuff for me?, never would've thought.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Although Windows PCs already come with a built-in antivirus solution in the form of Windows Security, Microsoft also offers another standalone utility for Microsoft 365 subscribers, called Microsoft Defender. Hit the "Hyperspace" button!

Someone give the folks at Neowin a clue. Windows Defender is installed on every Windows 10 and later PC by default. Windows Security is a superset of Defender and includes hardware support such as TPM based Bitlocker, Core Isolation, and UEFI boot Firmware signing.
