Just wait until a rogue AI agent wipes out bank and retirement accounts/investments.

Didn’t they just lay off 25% of their staff? No way it could have anything to do with that I’m sure.

Or they laid off the people that could have helped fix this

They offered early retirement to 25% of their staff, most of which is overseas.

This has nothing to do with that and it’s not like they have 25% less people than they did a month ago.

You continue to be totally retarded

I am an important person and people need answers from me so we can conduct business. Our business is being interrupted, which may very well be claimable from an insurance standpoint.

I don’t why you’re being downvoted. This is a very real possibility.

The poliboard is hilarious when you bring up any concerns about AI. They think everything is a scam to justify regulations so government will get to pick certain winners in bed with the government. There couldn't possibly be a hack or rogue employee that does real damage.

I may be missing something. The AI agent is rogue, so not controlled by a human (doing it's own thing).

It wants human money though.

This has the potential to be the biggest cyber clusterfrick of all time if it continues into tomorrow’s business hours.

For those celebrating not having to answer emails…it’s not like they won’t be there whenever things come back online

I put a test email in my inbox earlier and it went through at 6:18pm. I assumed that was the end of it. Are things still fricky?

People think of "rogue ai agent" as if its the suit dudes from the matrix.

In reality, this was probably caused by some imported programmer using GPT to write a maintenance program and it wrecking everything.

Yeah but the temporary relief is something to behold.

I'm confident that this is an outsider attack, but Microsoft will spin the message to be something other than what it really is. I won't be convinced otherwise. This stuff doesn't just happen in an irreversible type of way like this. If it were an intentional change gone wrong, there are rollback procedures. This isn't a rollback scenario. This is a "shite where did someone hide the payload" situation.

I've seen some admins say that they're starting to see some positive movement and access, but whether that lasts with full load tomorrow is another thing.

The original issue was purportedly servers failing health checks and going down. Then it rerouted traffic to other servers which overloaded them. They've tried fixing the original screwed up servers with no lasting success.

What happens when every company in the US puts load on the servers again tomorrow?
