Microsoft’s new AI rulebook puts human control above everything else

Microsoft's drat Humanist AI Code of Conduct lays out strict limits for its MAI models, from resisting shutdowns to claiming consciousness, as the company calls for a safer approach to frontier AI.

Person, Walking, Adult

Microsoft today published a draft "Humanist AI Code of Conduct," a rulebook meant to guide how its MAI models behave, and it opens with a blunt promise: People matter more than AI. The document lands just days after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called on the industry to slow down frontier AI development.

I didn’t know I needed an AI voice recorder until I tried the Comulytic Note Pro

I finally tried an AI voice recorder, and the Comulytic Note Pro makes a strong case

Comulytic Note Pro

I’ll admit that I was skeptical when I first picked up the Comulytic Note Pro. This is my first time using a dedicated AI note-taking device, so I came into it with a fairly simple question: why should I carry another gadget when my phone can already record audio and an AI chatbot can summarize it?

After spending time understanding how the Note Pro fits into that workflow, I think the answer is convenience. It takes the recording part out of my phone, gives me a physical button to start capturing audio, and then turns those recordings into transcripts, summaries, highlights,s and action points through its app. That sounds like a small change, but it addresses the annoying part of note-taking: trying to listen, remember, type, and participate in a conversation at the same time.

PC prices have been heading into the stratosphere lately. Memory and storage costs have climbed sharply, and even machines built for fairly basic jobs are becoming surprisingly expensive. Someone looking for a simple PC to handle browsing, documents, streaming, video calls, or even sit beside a TV as a small media machine can easily end up spending far more than expected.

Right in the middle of this mess, Acemagic has started selling its Kron K5, a compact Windows 11 Pro mini PC that was first introduced in June. The 256GB model is currently available on Amazon for $379.99 after a 30% introductory discount, while the 512GB version drops to $399.99. It uses Intel’s Core 3 304, an entry-level Wildcat Lake processor with five cores and five threads, paired with 12GB of LPDDR5 memory.
