alt Hacker NewsNow remember these dimwits are bragging that 30% of their code is now written by AI; and have mandated Microsoft Accounts, set up OneDrive backup by default, and are providing infrastructure to OpenAI who is currently required to preserve even deleted chats. They also own LinkedIn.
This totally has no foreseeable potential consequences. It would be a real shame if some foreign hostile government with nuclear weapons managed to connect MS Account, LinkedIn Profile, and OpenAI accounts together by shared emails and phone numbers. Is it really worth starting a war for the crime of depantsing the nation?

To be fair, I’m pretty sure the code here was written before modern AI was a thing, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Having done two rounds at different Fortune 10s (one being Microsoft) I can tell you: This isn't AI, this is the result of years of "make it work" and duct tape.
This is "It'll be safe if we leave it on the intranet" and then someone says "Zero trust!" and then all the sudden things that had authentication on the inside are also going through a new and different layer of authentication. A stack of totally reasonable expectations stack tolerance on tolerance, and just like the Sig Sauer P320, it has a habit of shooting you in the foot when you least expect it.
