Here are five ways that forward-thinking software engineers can immediately start to leverage AI for critical activities along the software-development life cycle and seven ways that software engineering leaders can prepare their teams to sustainably integrate AI from planning to testing. If you don't want AI to take your job, use AI for your job?
I'm not sure about that logic, but it's Gartner, so it must be correct.

repetitive tasks that don't require big deals and are not product / safety / quality critical might be a good idea to use it. As every tool has its legit use cases.
But for important things... better fingers off (for a good while).

US inflation-adjusted salaries plummet to a five-year low. Jobseekers are adjusting preferences. Economic conditions and the introduction of Generative AI threaten junior and diverse talent. Demand shifts to lower-cost-of-living markets. "But if you ask for a rise, it's no surprise that they're giving none away"

"Copilot - bring me a beer!" - pretty useless since it can't do that. And I hardly drink beer.

Microsoft Defender is taking steps to enhance its security offerings by introducing credit monitoring and privacy protection features. Give Microsoft access to my credit score? What could go wrong?!
Man, today's theme seems to be interrobangs

I've always known our credit system is run by crooks. That Microsoft security, which probes the dark web already for breached credentials, is providing credit monitoring just reinforces this knowledge.

A new report shows that the non-fungible token (NFT) market has essentially collapsed, and nearly all NFTs are practically worthless. Who (almost everyone) could have foreseen this?

I wonder how much they got paid to report this. Seriously, any item, tangible or intangible, is worthless unless there is a broad social construct agreeing it's worth something. Modern paper currency is an example of a broad social construct supported item.

True, but with paper currency, I can't just right-click on it and have an exact duplicate.

The same applies to any art style. When the world turns its back to Picasso, Dali, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, ... the worth of the paintings may be reduced to less than the value of the canvas they are painted on.
Or with music: If some new music style makes the world turn their back to anything from renaissance to jazz rock, metal or whatever, all older music forms may loose all their value.
When people stop reading books entirely, literature ceases to have any value.
So you may claim that people will never reject the 'true' value of Michelangelo's paintings. Or of the value of Betty Smith's voice. That people will never stop reading great novels.
Well, I hear you saying so.
I also hear you saying that people will forever maintain their deep trust in the value symbols that money represents. That it couldn't possibly ever happen that paper currency would ever loose their value. Hyperinflation is an imaginary concept; it won't ever happen in real life.
I hear you saying so. Well, obviously you didn't live in Germany around 1922-23.

Am I missing something? That article seems to imply that RAR support will not be part of this update. 
Quote: There are a bunch of features that are missing from this update, though. We thought this would be Microsoft’s larger 23H2 update dropping on September 26th, but that’s coming a little later and will include some even bigger changes to Windows 11. A new volume mixer is on the way, alongside native RAR and 7-zip support, Dynamic Lighting for controlling RGB accessories, and even app labels and ungrouping for the Windows 11 taskbar.

OpenAI announced the third version of its generative AI visual art platform DALL-E, which now lets users use ChatGPT to create prompts and includes more safety options. "How can you expect then to understand my art when I myself, who am their "maker", understand them as little?"

If attackers have compromised your account, they can use inbox rules to hide in plain sight while they — among other things — quietly move information out of the network via your inbox, ensure that you don’t see security warnings, file selected messages in obscure folders so you won’t easily find them, or delete messages from the senior executive they are pretending to be in an attempt to extract money. Would they be so kind as to delete all the spam for me while they're in there?

Writing a suite of unit tests that exhaustively exercise and validate the logic of the code is not easy. Why test your code, when the code can test itself?
Or not, as the Windows Update team does.
