Microsoft is starting to rethink how much AI it really needs inside Windows 11, and that rethink includes dialing back Copilot. As part of its broader push to improve Windows quality, the company is reducing the number of Copilot entry points across the OS and its apps. According to Microsoft, this rollback will begin with apps like Photos, Notepad, Widgets, and the Snipping Tool, where Copilot integrations had started to feel excessive. The change is part of a wider shift in Microsoft’s strategy of moving away from aggressively embedding AI everywhere and toward integrating it only where it actually makes…

The internet you use every day could soon be dominated by artificial intelligence. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince says that AI bots may generate more traffic than humans within the next year or two, marking a major shift in how the web works. Speaking about the current trends with TechCrunch, Prince said bot activity is growing rapidly as AI systems crawl and interact with websites at scale. Before the rise of generative AI, bots were responsible for only 20% of internet traffic. Most of that traffic came from search engines like Google, and some malicious activity. Now, that number is climbing…

If you’ve ever sent a message into a busy Google Messages group chat and watched it vanish into the void, you’re not alone. That unseen, unacknowledged message often gets buried under texts, reactions, or GIFs from other users, forcing you to resend it.  Well, Google has finally heard your silent screams. After months of beta testing, Google Messages has officially rolled out what is possibly one of the most useful features for group chats: Mentions.  How does ‘@’ Mentions work?

It’s a brave new world. After forty plus years of playing March Madness pools and even winning a few (how about NC State  in 1984?), I worked with ChatGPT to help me fill out my brackets. Like most people, I watch some college hoops—but usually it’s my three or four favorite teams and whoever they’re playing. I will catch some of the big national games on the weekend, but that’s about it.  So, normally when I stare at the yawning bracket, I wonder: Where is High Point University and who do they play? What about the dreaded 12/5 upset?  Is it too…
