Outlook is down, and so is Microsoft's status page

I am surprised no executive used Copilot to type "Bring Microsoft 365 up. Make no mistakes".. should've been a quick task with SuperIntelligence!

You don't understand, the agents aren't fixing the outage because those human engineers didn't make the infrastructure AI first. The only possible follow-up from this is that the faulty infra needs to be completely thrown away in favor of the vibecoded replacement.

You had me in the first half.

I agree. All the execs need to do is tell Copilot to "fix this so that it never happens again. Make no mistakes" and run it on bypass permissions. Tada!

I'm sure they would love to try, but Copilot is also offline according to the status page.

Damn it! If only their Copilot was working! Outage resolved under 300 milli seconds!

Maybe they can use azure hosted openai models? Or are they down as well?

Just was a perfect opportunity to showcase astra and fable and other models
