    (to Microsoft) So, you won’t be using your ai for vibecoding your updates anymore, right? …Right?

    …checking Microsoft’s status page…

    User impact: A subset of admins in North America may be unable to access the Microsoft 365 admin center.

    Current status: We confirmed that an issue in a recent update introduced errors in the code path that facilitates calls to the Microsoft 365 admin center when encountered by admins, which resulted in their inability to access the Microsoft 365 admin center.

    I guess Microsoft didn’t get the memo they released, then…

      I dont know about anyone else but basic things like windows search, windows update, excel, etc… has always been buggy. I always find it strange people saying this is a new phenomenon, I actually think most things regressed from XP outside of UAC.

    I do a few things at work that I use AI for. Work had a gpt enterprise key, now we’ve moved to claude. Through O365, I also have access to copilot.

    Pretty much anything I ask claude or gpt about, I can be sure to get a solid answer or one that was at least on Stack Exchange or Reddit. If that fails, and I drill down a little more on a problem, adding details, they’ll both get a little better after a couple of questions and usually come up with a reasonable answer.

    Not copilot. If you ask copilot something and it doesn’t come back in one shot with an authoritative cited answer, just walk away. It makes no attempt to ensure the answer is right or sane. It either hit in training or it didn’t. And if it didn’t, trying to convince it to strike out in a few other directions to solve it is absolutely a fool’s errand.

    It’s like they bought into OpenAI, then never got any updates or made any progress. I

      I think they have access to the same models as OpenAI but choose to use smaller models to achieve higher margins / manage costs when people are using it all day long.

    Theo whole OS is garbage. Used to be at least functional, now it’s an ad infested AI slop fest.

    Ah, the famous “Fox News” defense of claiming you’re an entertainment medium but you should totally trust it.

    A salesman for an AI consulting company made the comment that we don’t expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI? He was smug about it, too, like it was his big gotcha. Joke’s on him, I’m the one that talked the bosses out of spending money with them.

      That’s such a bad argument too. The whole point of technology is to help perfect the output of humans. Why would we buy technology that is known to not do that

        “You can get pretty good results most of the time and save money on labor!” Not like our whole business model is focused on expertise and compliance or anything. Surely our clients won’t mind a few little mistakes here and there, as a treat.

      we don’t expect perfection from humans, so why should we expect it from AI?

      If we can’t expect better from an AI than from a human, why should we use the AI (other than so you don’t have to pay workers)?

        I think there’s an important semantic difference between worse performance and correctness. Tools, like AI, can underperform when compared to humans and still be very useful and worth investing into, but that’s only as long as they perform correctly.

          Yeah, the ‘but’ is the entire problem. In my experience, LLM chatbots are like if you made a 12yo a junior admin and fed them speed. Very quick to give you a confident answer, but wrong more often than not. The worst part is a lot of what I’m doing is coding, and it gets basic commands and syntax wrong

    for entertainment purposes only, not serious use — firm pushing AI hard

    Reminds me of these Autopiloting cars LOL

    They, do it all by themselves, fully and autonomously and are pushed so hard as well, but you may not rely on them, never take them for serious.

      What regulatory capture of the FTC does to MFer.

      All this shit should be considered false advertising, at the very least.
