oblio | on: Microsoft Outlook/365 still down after 12 hours
Who wants to bet that this is ultimately due to AI, either an action taken by AI or just general AI code rot coupled with developer knowledge decay?

I would bet my lunch that the failing code is immediately attributable to AI, but the root cause is a failure of hiring, leadership, accountability, QA. If it was bad AI code, it was still deployed by a bad developer. The buck stops with us humans.

Or layoffs attributed to AI?

Or ai-agent-assisted attack, possibly directly using the hijacked infrastructure for inference.
