Microsoft blames AI for delayed Exchange update, can’t say when it will arrive

Microsoft has blamed extra work created by AI bug-finders for the delayed release of a major Cumulative Update to Exchange Server Subscription Edition (SE). Redmond’s Exchange team made that admission last Thursday in a post titled “Where is Exchange SE CU1 anyway?” that reveals the software giant is “getting questions from our …

Cumulative?

Shouldn't a cumulative update just be a collection of already published, and hopefully tested, updates?

I guess there's also a rolling-release, daily, weekly or monthly update channel. Are these the testers?

Re: Cumulative?

Looks like so far all the prompts they tried to get the AI to create a collection of what they rolled out failed the minimal Micros~1 internal tests (= patch can not even be applied).

Company that goes all-in on AI gets screwed over by AI. It's kind of delicious.

Yeah the leads at Microslop don’t have a F’ing clue what to do with their OS platform.

My Grandkid could come up with better ideas, and he’s 6.

Does he have his own Linux distro? Everyone else has.

Not a great Outlook for the system...

CU

CockUp ? Don't preclude its also being cumulative update. Indeed a cumulative update of cockups would be a fair description of most MS tat.

I don't imagine a long feature freeze while adressing existing security and other critical bugs has occurred to them.

The sensible thing to do

After thirty years of sprawl, the chickens come home to roost. Time to put Exchange out to pasture.

Looks like.....

They are experimenting with Quality Control.

Give then a chance, it's new to them.

Re: Looks like.....

Why bother, when you have a billion beta testers?

[JWLong]

Exchange Update........

Knowing them(MicroSlop), it's probably a broken one at that!

[IGotOut]

It says it all...

"which includes validation that they are real security issues,"

So they are wading through 10,000 bugs reported by AI, which they are using AI to fix that then creates another 10,000 bugs reported by.....

Microsoft Blames Humans For Delayed Update

AI-owned and operated Microsoft today said that the delay in the release of their latest updates is due to, "Human Error."

Go back to basics Microslop

Microslop is full of idiots now. Real talent left decades ago. Just dunces left, no innovators. Who, with any intellkgence exceeding that of a baked potato, wants to work for that company now? Would you like to be told how to do your job by a pedantic half-baked gaslighting POC? Would you like your work to be ignored by your supposed supervisor(s) and instead fed thoughtlessly into a LLM that might regurgitate someone else's enlightened writings but more likely will just enforce dogmatic BS opinions it found written by LinkedIn loonies? Hahaha.

Not like they are hiring new blood anyways. The brain drain will be epic. Bunch of idiiotic MBAs who think they can script kiddie their way through tech now that they have "AI" to put those pesky expensive engineers who bother to know wtf they are doing in their place.

Need to fire Slopya and put someone with actual vision in charge. Got themselves a Labrador CEO with retriever management chasing other people's bones and making other companies rich in doing so. No one has done more to sell OpenAI, Anthropic and Google's LLM services than Microsoft.
