I'm pretty sure I read CVE funding was back, the day after?

yep.

The MITRE Corporation came within a hair’s breadth of running out of its contract to maintain the CVE database

That would have been very bad.

this new gadget makes it easy to take Windows system events, and feed them into Copilot, looking for potentially malicious activity. And while it’s not perfect, it did manage to detect about 40% of the malicious tests that Windows Defender missed. It seems like LLMs are going to stick around, and this might be one of the places they actually make sense.

Yes, the pattern recognition engine is good at pattern recognition.

In all seriousness, it really would be great if we'd focused development of transformer models on stuff like this instead of everyone getting caught up in the fact that they can kinda sorta pass the Turing test and deciding that the singularity had arrived and they could be the ones to sell tickets to it.
