You know what would be cool? If people would acknowledge that Microsoft has no fucking idea how their own shit works and stop giving them the benefit of the doubt, especially with things like consent and AI.
@cR0w The fact that Microsoft is using Claude internally for coding says it all.
@AAKL The fact that Microsoft keeps fucking up everything they say and touch says it all.
@cR0w No argument there.

@cR0w @AAKL There is a story that when Steve Ballmer was ru(i)ning Windows development, one of Ballmer's friends asked for help with a malware-infested PC. Steve couldn't fix it, so he took it to work and plunked it down in front of the Windows dev team and said "fix this."

They could not fix it either.

Like much of the industry, they have created more complexity than they can manage, and they are just trying to keep the piles from falling down on their heads. We need a radical simplification.
