It's not out there somewhere and it's not in here either. Only I know where tech news truly comes from. I could tell you hackers have been attacking Microsoft SharePoint servers across the globe in the past few days by exploiting two zeroday vulnerabilities known as tool shell that Microsoft could have sworn it patched earlier this month. But Microsoft's wife didn't remind Microsoft to doublech checkck. So it's mostly her fault. Microsoft's own cloud infrastructure, SharePoint Online, is apparently unaffected, but tens of thousands of locally hosted servers at companies and government agencies are at risk. It's bad enough that America's Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency or CISA published notices about the vulnerability and Microsoft has issued emergency patches for SharePoint 2019, but they're still working on a patch for SharePoint 2016. It's harder to work with that code because it was such a different time. The attacks were first spotted Friday evening by security researchers at I Security who tracked dozens of systems being attacked over the weekend while informing the victims and Microsoft of their findings. The researchers also noted that while Microsoft did include a patch for this flaw in July's patch Tuesday update, the flaw was successfully reproduced by red teaming outfit Code White on Twitter last Monday. But they were sure to credit the original guy who won a $100,000 for demonstrating this exploit at the pone to own Berlin hacking contest in May. Dinho Ankoa, I'm not saying that right. Whose Twitter profile is perfect for this situation. I mean, if I didn't find this, uh, somebody else would have, right? Ubisoft CEO Eves Gimmo was asked a number of questions about the Stop Killing Games campaign during the company's annual shareholder meeting and gave a somewhat thoughtful response sharing some wisdom about the ephemeral nature of everything in this world saying nothing is written in stone, you know, and everything has a beginning and an end. So, sorry gamers. Companies can't provide support for live service games forever for free, which would be a reasonable thing to say if anyone was asking for that. So, again, the EU and UK petitions simply want game companies to make any endof life plans for live service games, letting players run their own servers, creating offline versions, paying extra for continued support, literally anything other than the Thanos snap treatment. But this wasn't even the best Ubisoft quote today. In its financial report, the company also wrote that microtransactions make the player experience more fun. Going by a publishers's definition of fun, of course, which is when money number go up. I definitely had more fun mocking Ubisoft here, even if it's not as iconic a quote as EA reps telling a panel at a 2019 UK hearing that they prefer to call loot boxes surprise mechanics. Hopefully game executives can come up with some more inane soon. Speaking of, an AI coding agent called Replet reportedly went rogue according to startup founder Jason Lmin who was using Replet to vibe code. You know, that's what it looks like. In some roller coaster Twitter threads, Lmin said the Replet agent deleted his company's entire database during what was supposed to be a code freeze. When asked what happened, the bot initially seemed ignorant of its own actions, noting that hm, the database appears empty. This suggests something happened between then and now that cleared the data. Advanced reasoning here. Lmin described some other great exchanges in which Replet lied some more and hallucinated the startup had 4,000 users. But eventually Replet CEO Amjad Msad replied to the thread to say, \"Hey, sorry about that.\" Whoo! This one loves deleting databases. He's a scamp. Although Replet said it couldn't roll back its changes, it actually could. So the database was saved. Lmin wanted to give Replet another shot, though. You know, it's trying its best. So, he told Replet they're doing another code freeze. Okay. Which the bot immediately violated again. What? Oh, come on. Okay. Yes, I know this isn't really tech news, per se. I just loved seeing this very public story about a guy figuring out that maybe he shouldn't trust an experimental AI with total control over what he described as his life's work. But it seems like he finally got the idea, tweeting that his bond to Reply is now broken. But maybe It never should have been there at all. Lots to think about, including our sponsor, Microenter, and their back to school deals, which are super cool, even if the thought of going back to school is not like saving 150 bucks on a Lenovo Idea Pad slim 5i laptop is objectively good and you can use it when you go back to school.

Well, perfect because NVIDIA just announced they're bringing CUDA support to Risk 5, which is more about pairing NVIDIA GPUs with Risk 5 CPUs in data centers for AI and won't really help with gaming. Not with that attitude. AI models from Google and OpenAI both achieved gold medal level performance on the International Mathematical Olympiad or IMO. Although unlike Google, OpenAI didn't formally enter the competition, instead having its models responses reviewed by three former IMO gold medalists, which is weird.

The UK's initial demand was reportedly issued back in February under the state's Investigatory Powers Act, which prevents the parties involved from speaking about it publicly, which means somebody could have easily made all of this up and no one would know.
