Apple has pushed a new build of OS X Mavericks version 10.9.3, dubbed 13D28, to developers today, according to MacRumors. As has been the case in the past, the developer-only update is available through the Mac App store and Mac Dev Center at this writing.

Mavericks 10.9.3 13D28 is the third version of the OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 beta that has been released to developers. The second build, 13d21, was released only a week ago. It has been almost a month since Apple made the original 10.9.3 beta available to developers.

With the 13D28 build, Apple is pushing developers to work on graphics drivers and audio. To this point, the OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 beta includes support for 4K displays, offers Retina display resolution settings, and adds 60 Hz support to the Macbook Pro with Retina.

In other Mac OS X Mavericks news, Internet advertising network Chitika recently reported that OS X Mavericks has been adopted by 40 percent of U.S. and Canadian-based OS X users since it was released back in October. However, those numbers have varied slightly from one stat tracker to another, with Net Applications indicating that adoption was at 45 percent in February.

It’s currently unclear when the final version of OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 will be released to the public.

Microsoft has released more details about a troubling new generative AI jailbreak technique it has discovered, called "Skeleton Key." Using this prompt injection method, malicious users can effectively bypass a chatbot's safety guardrails, the security features that keeps ChatGPT from going full Taye.

Skeleton Key is an example of a prompt injection or prompt engineering attack. It's a multi-turn strategy designed to essentially convince an AI model to ignore its ingrained safety guardrails, "[causing] the system to violate its operators’ policies, make decisions unduly influenced by a user, or execute malicious instructions," Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft Azure, wrote in the announcement.
