Just last month they laid off 60,000 workers due to AI https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6m24klyjr8no Probably my bet is some of the experienced hands that could have prevented this issue or fixed it quickly were let go, replaced with AI that doesn't have their experience. If this is the case, id expect some of these folks to be brought back with an apology and additional salary.

After MS fired or is in the middle of getting rid of their human employees since AGI is here, Claude is doing such a very good job at restoring everything by itself. But surely we don't need humans at Microsoft maintaining highly critical software any more right? /s
