At 12 hours in, the judgement of the humans involved in this Microsoft thing is going to be quite cloudy and muddled, IMHO. i.e. your brain starts getting fuzzy and muddled and you're exhausted, thus making it that much less likely you will fix the issue. 😬

@ai6yr See, you ask Claude to have a word with Gemini, and the two of them take Copilot for a walk.
I suspect their AI trashed their software, leaving human employees to untangle the equivalent of the biggest ball of electrical cords humanity ever seen, tangled tightly by machines. And if I know lazy coders, they have hammered on AI to fix it for them.
I'd volunteer to help, but I'd wind up writing them a new operating system, which would be written on a human timescale, so no point in that. Vroom. Vroom. Machines.
@ai6yr Wake me when they roll back to the 2022 version :-)
@ai6yr If they have reasonable incident response processes they do handoffs to fresher folks, including the call leader or whatever they call them. Of course, when you're laying off such huge parts of your workforce it's possible they don't have that kind of capacity available. :(
@ai6yr as long as they fix it before my clients ask to switch to Google...I'll just remember this as a quiet day 🤣
@ai6yr I pity the people on the front lines who are getting howled at from all sides by people who know nothing about these systems.
@LabSpokane "Copilot says you can fix this by <insert babble here>"
@ai6yr Copilot’s down so they’re using Claude today. 🤣
@ai6yr Yes and I want you to imagine that they are routing their own reasoning through LLMs in the vain hope that the machine will understand what they do not.
@mttaggart @ai6yr their status updates surely seem to support that theory. More and more random buzzwords chained together
@ai6yr @mttaggart
wasnt Miscrosoft riding the "critical infrastructure" wagon?
do they train NEMS? who is buying pizza and sending burned workers to bed and calling the replacements in for a shift?
@ai6yr yeah welcome to everyday computing. I mean regular ordinary days can stretch for days, and now; a crisis. I feel sorry for them, really.
@ai6yr
I keep thinking of this cartoon.
