I'd welcome someone pointing out where I'm wrong in my critique of this critique..

"The reason AI is a bad tool is that generally speaking, it is completely opaque."

"The real question is, who can verify that what the AI built is good and true?"

Well, you? The developer? The person responsible for using the tool, no?

Isn't this article just saying, "using a tool blindly and not checking the result" is bad? Which, of course, it would be.

microsoft.com is back -

edit: it worked once, then died again. So I guess - some resolvers, or FD servers may be working!

FWIW, all of our databases, VMs, AKS clusters, services, jobs etc - are all working fine. Which services are down for you, maybe we can build a list?

Sorry - my bad. I literally just connected an old XP VM to the internet to activate it.

Ouch, and login.microsoftonline.com too - i.e. SSO using MS accounts. We'd just rolled that out across most (all?) of our internal systems...

And microsoft.com too - that's gotta hurt
