A California man is suing Microsoft, alleging that ending Windows 10 support is an anticompetitive move to force users into buying new PCs, creating a captive market for its AI-powered services.
What’s happened? California resident Lawrence Klein has filed a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft.
This is important because: It directly challenges the tech industry practice of phasing out older software and hardware, potentially setting a new legal precedent.
Why should I care? If your current PC runs Windows 10 but can’t upgrade to Windows 11, it will stop receiving free security updates after October 14, leaving it vulnerable to viruses and malware.

The paper, published on arXiv with the evocative title Reasoning Models Generate Societies of Thought, posits that these models don't merely compute; they implicitly simulate a "multi-agent" interaction. Imagine a boardroom full of experts tossing ideas around, challenging each other's assumptions, and looking at a problem from different angles before finally agreeing on the best answer. That is essentially what is happening inside the code. The researchers found that these models exhibit "perspective diversity," meaning they generate conflicting viewpoints and work to resolve them internally, much like a team of colleagues debating a strategy to find the best path forward.
