The corporate bullshit language is strong in microsoft:

"We’re opening all available pathways to restore service, as our actions taken thus far have not provided the anticipated relief."

"We're aggressively pursuing all pathways to reduce impact,"

That translates to

We have no fucking idea what's wrong, please send help

Copilot is down, and they fired all their engineers. They don't know what to do, because their "brain" is part of (and likely caused) this outage lol

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They're going to fire the people who fired the engineers next...

The senior management? Doubt it.

It's a Monty Python skit

Is it?? Can you link it? I'd love to watch that!

I heard it in one of their audio records but they also worked it into the opening credits of holy grail. Not exactly hard to find.

I've watched this movie countless times, and never once sat through the credits. That was hilarious!

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They are the opening credits so not sure how you would have missed it, you must have watched some hacked up tv version or something.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 1 points 1 day ago

It was on TV, yes. I'm going to find it and watch it again. It's been too long

"We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Oh, they tried something. They asked Copilot to fix it...

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 10 points 2 days ago

Lol that is some impressive corpo bullshit.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

the reply is very human.

[–] redballooon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

As in "start thousands of subagents and fix the problem "
