A day after adding open-source GPT models to its local AI stack, Microsoft has gone all-in on GPT-5 for Copilot — the same model now powering ChatGPT. As of Thursday, if you head over to copilot.microsoft.com and flip the drop-down toggle, you can try it out yourself. GPT-5 is the biggest leap yet from OpenAI. It’s not just faster or “smarter” in the vague sense — it comes with a built-in “router” system that decides how to answer you based on how tricky the request is. Simple ask? It answers in seconds. Complex coding or reasoning challenge? It slows down,…

No one is immune to mistakes, even the top security experts. Just ask Troy Hunt, the creator of HaveIBeenPwned, who recently got phished while trying to log into his Mailchimp account. Hunt’s story is a perfect example of how even those most aware of cybersecurity threats can fall victim—especially when tired and distracted. The phishing attack started with an email that tried to make Hunt panic by creating a false sense of urgency. Although Hunt noticed red flags—the fake sender, the unusual tone, and the fact that his password manager didn’t auto-fill on the site—it wasn’t enough to stop the…

The idea is well-meaning: Microsoft wants to give you another opportunity to tweak your PC before you land on the desktop. But in reality, SCOOBE often feels like déjà vu, with multiple prompts that slow…

Nvidia has firmly denied claims and speculation suggesting its graphics processing units (GPUs) contain hidden kill switches or government backdoors, stating that such mechanisms are both unethical and insecure. In a strongly worded blog post released Tuesday, the company responded to growing calls by some U.S. policymakers and cybersecurity analysts for hardware-based safeguards that would allow chips to be remotely disabled or monitored—ostensibly to prevent their misuse or unauthorized export to countries like China. Nvidia’s response comes amid increasing international scrutiny over the role its chips play in AI development and the global technology race. Tensions have been escalating between…
