AI can help hackers to quickly write exploit code from published security problems.
Here's an interesting report of the journey to generate hacking code using AI.
The engineer generated the initial code using chapGpt. The code did not work, then he fixed it with Cursor and Claude Sonnet.
The impleciation is that security administrators now even have a shorter time to install patches, as the hackers can generate the attacks in no time.
When installing a 2025 upgrade to a JetBrains product you have to accept a new user agreement.
Biggest change I see is the removal of the right to use an old product indefinitely.
This is effectively moving the products from a buy and use to a subscription model. Quite a big change to force without any explanation.
Some of AI generated code is wrong (hallucinations).
When AI generate dependencies attackers could create packages with commonly hallucinated names.
When the developer loads the dependencies, running the code is a security risk.
With version 10 Google stopped referring to Android versions using dessert names. Internally these names do still exist however. With version 13 I'm seeing external references to the desserts again.

Recently, when PowerPoint, Word or other office program Opening a document or saving it under another name office started showing a list of useless quick access locations that I don't use. These are locations from my organisations so I guess it shows the locations that are most used, organisation wide.
I have to scroll all the way down to get to the Browse menu item and navigate to the location I want to save to.
When opening a document you can click on the folders tab in the right window pane to get a list of folders recently used by you.
For Save as... you can work around this Quick Access nuisance using another Quick Access:
Now a small diskette with a pen icon is shown in your window header bar.
Clicking the icon will immediately open up an explorer to browse to the desired location.
