SN 1079: Daybreak and Codename MDASH - Microsoft's Edge Password Blunder

OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google are racing to unleash next-gen AI that hunts for software vulnerabilities and hacks at scale. This episode explores how these advancements could shake up everything we thought we knew about cybersecurity.

  • Microsoft rethinks Edge's "intended behavior" after it gets press.
  • Chaotic Eclipse hacker strikes again with a Bitlocker bypass.
  • Google's threat analysis group documents malicious AI use.
  • Canada hasn't learned the lessons of the EU and the UK.
  • AI chatbots may be far more addictive than social media.
  • Project: Hail Mary now available to stream.
  • An apparently-serious zero-point quantum vacuum energy source.
  • A bit of listener feedback.
  • OpenAI's & Microsoft's vulnerability discovery systems
