Yesterday, Microsoft published a support document that outlined how Al agentsare going to work on Windows 11, utilizing a new agentic workspace that will allow Al-powered apps to complete tasks on your behalf. These agents will operate in their own secure desktop environment, but with access to your apps and files. As such, the company warns that these agentic capabilities aren't without risk. “Al applications introduce novel security risks, such as cross-prompt injection (XPIA), where malicious content embedded in Ul elements or documents can override agent instructions, leading to unintended actions like data exfiltration or malware installation.” Because of this, the company has outlined a number of design principles that it wants to follow when it comes to agentic experiences on Windows, including ensuring the Al is always observable, and that any decisions it wants to make must be approved by a human first. “Agents must be able to produce logs outlining their activities. Windows should be able to verify these actions with a tamper-evident audit log.”

remember when POTUS would drop attribution commentary on cyber incidents
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 3h The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality. I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control. Russia, Russia, Russia is the priority chant when anything happens because Lamestream is, for mostly financial reasons, petrified of..... .....discussing the possibility that it may be China (it may!). There could also have been a hit on our ridiculous voting machines during the elction, which is now obvious that I won big, making it an even more corrupted embarassment for the USA. (!) Election officials have certified Joe Biden as the winner of the U.S. Presidential election

C-suite has 12,000 Outlook folders and Outlook is eating a whole i7 alive (self.sysadmin) submitted 3 hours ago by ServiceFun7651 One of our execs has built his “system” in Outlook. The result: 12,000 folders ~90,000 emails 50GB OST Cache already limited to 6 months Every 3 minutes Outlook Desktop spikes CPU to 100%, happily chewing ~40% of an i7 with 32GB RAM while the machine sits otherwise idle. This seems to close down other programs, making the computer basicly useless. Normal exports die (even on a VM). Purview

a wonderful quote about the current-wealthiest man on the planet from simonwillison.net/2024/Sep/17/...
Simon Willison's Weblog Subscribe Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle. — Bryan Cantrill Posted 17th September 2024 at 4:14 pm

I did not! That's Escentric 04 by Escentric Molecules, that's just the motif on the design/bottle. 03 from the same house actually does the binary motif too but much smaller - 2nd photo is that one.
