Rayfin signals Microsoft’s push to make Fabric an AI app runtime

Some of the AI industry's biggest rivals have put their many, many grievances aside for a common cause: making it harder for people to use their technology to develop biological weapons. In an open letter to US lawmakers, tech leaders are pressing Congress to enact rules closing what they say is an alarming biosecurity gap that could help trigger a global pandemic. Anthropic's Dario Amodei, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Microsoft's Mustafa Suleyman are among the signatories urging US lawmakers to require companies selling synthetic DNA and RNA - genetic material that can ordered online and assembled in a lab - to screen purchases for sequences t … Read the full story at The Verge.

AI governance is an ongoing game of catch-up for enterprises. Model updates and iterations are rolling out at a rapid clip, often making governance frameworks obsolete before they’re battle-tested. To evolve beyond this paradigm, OpenAI is introducing Active sessions. This new ChatGPT security feature allows users to review and log out of one or more sessions through a simple interface. The feature is now available across all ChatGPT accounts and workspace types, including personal and managed workspaces. Experts call it an important development for the model provider, which currently has 1 billion monthly active users. Previously, organizations often had limited visibility into where users were logged in, and simply relied on password resets or broad account actions to force re-authentication, noted Ensar Seker, CISO at SOCRadar. “Granular session control is a more efficient and less disruptive approach. From a governance perspective, session transparency improves accountability and s

A vulnerability in GitHub’s browser-based VSCode editor could lead to the theft of a developer’s token under certain circumstances, says a researcher. The issue, revealed this week in a blog by Ammar Askar, has apparently been already addressed by GitHub owner Microsoft. But it raises a questions about both DevOps security, and about the researcher’s allegation that, because Microsoft doesn’t treat bug discoveries seriously, he can justify giving it short notice before openly publishing vulnerabilities he finds. First, the bug: Users of github.com may not realize it, but when they are on any repository, they can shift to github.dev and its browser-based version of VSCode just by changing the URL. Why do this? Because the browser instance of VSCode is pretty powerful, Askar says in his blog. “You can view all the files in the repo (even if it’s a private one), you can send out pull requests, and even make commits.” Rob Enderle, a IT consultant who heads the Enderle Group, agrees that j

Measure expected to pass next week represents major rebuke to big tech as local disquiet over AI boom grows Seattle’s city government is on the verge of passing a year-long ban on the construction of new datacenters, the largest city yet in the US to consider such a moratorium as nationwide backlash grows. Four companies sought to build five large datacenters in areas serviced by Seattle’s public utility; if approved, they would have consumed approximately a third of the city’s current daily demand for electricity.
