Can someone do me the courtesy of a response. Woeful in every respect

New research: leaning on AI is blunting people's skills. In one study, specialists got worse by hand than before they had the AI, once it was removed. Use it or lose it. A tool you can't work without isn't a tool — it's a crutch. Use the calculator, but keep the maths.

A tool went live today that lets AI map how your business REALLY works — who talks to whom, who gets things done. Not the org chart on the wall; the real one underneath. Every firm has both. Value your hidden linchpins — and make sure you know who they are before a machine does.

A crew was caught quietly changing payroll bank details so salaries land in their account. No ransomware, no alarms — your own payroll does the paying. We brace for the bang; the silent ones empty the account. Verify every bank-detail change on a known number. Boring beats clever

Microsoft just shipped its biggest-ever batch of fixes — ~200 in a month. The bit that stuck: some flaws went public because the finder got fed up being ignored. The person who flags your problem is doing you a favour. Don't shoot the messenger — you just stop hearing the truth.

This week an AI read code buried inside almost everything and found 21 unknown security holes. Chrome shipped a record 429 fixes. Good news — if you patch fast, because the crooks have the same engine. AI didn't change the race; it floored both cars. Know what you run. Patch quic

Good news: you can now pick the AI model behind your M365 Copilot. Same week: poisoned code packages + a fake “AI tool” installer that drops a thief. Everyone watches the front door; trouble walks in the back. Know the source, check the seal, watch the loading bay.

Microsoft Scout: an AI agent that does things, not just answers. Same week, bots overtook humans as most of web traffi and attackers are now hijacking AI agents’ access. Treat an agent like a new hire: identity, least privilege, someone checking its work. https://t.co/RaT9BNq01j

Microsoft Build: AI everywhere. The bit nobody slides: loads of firms bought Copilot, few get real value. Meanwhile attackers hit GitHub editors & hijacked dev packages. Lesson’s the same — do the boring groundwork, then point the clever tools at a real problem. 848.grou

Trust is the new attack surface: a Windows Netlogon flaw is under active attack, Red Hat npm packages were hijacked to steal dev credentials, and fake “update now” prompts are everywhere. Patch fast, verify your supply chain, train your people. https://t.co/RaT9BNq01j

🇫🇷 Paris bound! Our Head of Managed Service, Aidan Doyle, is at an exclusive MSP Executive Roundtable hosted by N-able this week — 25 senior leaders, real peer-to-peer talk on scaling, AI in ops & security. Plus an evening at the French Open. https://t.co/RaT9BNq01j

AI cuts both ways this week: Nvidia’s Computex keynote teases a deeper Microsoft tie-up, while attackers abuse ChatGPT links to push malware. Two VPN flaws (Palo Alto, Fortinet) are under active attack. Adopt AI with intent — keep the basics tight.
