It seems like bug hunting might be the one area where AI is actually making the world a better place.

It would be nice if microsoft had windows update for .net, visual c++, office, windows, edge ... just all their software in one updater, but that would be too easy...

An employee just got phished by adding a number to a legitimate deviceAdd login route that bypasses 2FA and adds a device with full access to office and mail

Probably working as intended...

Sounds like a lot but compare it to Edge also being patched for 428 Chromium CVEs this month.

If 20 years ago you told me a single piece of software had 428 vulnerabilities I wouldn't have believed it.

If Chromium has that many security bugs, perhaps the move fast and break things approach of spraying diarrhea masquerading as code into a keyboard — in a rush to add new features no one asked for — needs to be reexamined.

I wonder how many bugs will be introduced with these fixes...

"Microsoft attributed the burgeoning patch counts to vulnerability discoveries aided by artificial intelligence."

If only real intelligence found the fucking things instead.
