re: Does this Outlook outage lead to the government becoming more involved in regulating AI?

You cannot stop China from developing these systems short of going to war with them, so it makes zero sense to use cyber attacks (whether SI driven or not) as your justification for hamstringing US development. It's literal suicide.

To your point, a Chinese model was used to help resolve the Huggingface incident. Claude’s guardrails wouldn’t let it do what it was asked.

Using open-weights models, in particular zai-org/GLM-5.2, we were able to decipher most of the agent payloads (see below) that were encrypted via chunking and key encryption.

It’s a sucky situation. We’re in an arms race.

Do we then work to get foreign governments to regulate theirs?

I bet if we disarm our AI capabilities, all foreign entities will follow our lead.

Sometimes you should think long and hard before you post some of the shite you do. Boosie and SFP the downvotes leaders on TD for a reason.

Car safety, Child labor laws, and environmental laws are just a few of the things China doesn't seem to care about. Are you going full communist?

---

The issue you are overlooking, even though the Outlook outage was not caused by AI disruption, is that regulations here at home, will not affect other players at all.

No and it shouldn't.

It should be a referendum on our dumb-arse corporations outsourcing a basic tech function to one vendor, in the cloud.

But like our current political situation, nothing will happen.

"If"? "Suddenly"? I can't believe I'm saying this to you, but you are giving them too much credit.

We’re in a new gilded age where a corporation can just pay a politician and there will be no fear of regulation or consequences if something goes wrong


The issue now is that most of the code written in the last 10 years is ai chicken scratch or in Hindu and all the old guys who could actually code and keep everything running have been laid off because their insurance was too high and they wanted too much money

Healthcare and banking largely runs on dusty beige boxes and ibm mainframes in a dark room hardwired together that nobody ever goes into and there’s a crotchety old programmer that has an office in a broom closet that can fix it all manually but usually nothing happens. The private equity buying up everything sees Dennis nedry on a spreadsheet making too much money and wants to fire him and simultaneously wants to switch everything to the “cloud” so it will be more prone to falling apart

Embrace accelerationism boosie. Instead of buying that next pickleball paddle buy you something to keep you safe when the system goes down

Everything moves to cloud based servers instead of individual servers at the businesses, it makes it easier for hackers to cause mass disruptions because everything is consolidated. Cheaper aint always better.

My anecdotal evidence nonprofit I volunteer for says you are correct.

Microsoft fired the American engineers who built the whole system and replaced them with a race with an average IQ of 87

None of the Indians actually know how to code because they all fake their credentials. There are tons of stories of Indians being horrible programmers.

It wasn't that way years ago because, very early on the Indians coming here actually had skills, but like all things, Indians saw a way to scam, and the rise of fake credentials became standard for Indians. Now we are paying the price for their bullshite.

Yet another reason to end the H1B Visa
