Comment on Microsoft suffer system outage affecting Outlook, Teams and Copilot, exec says there's "no indication this is the result of malicious or cyber activity"

  In order to solve this problem, we’ve replaced DNS with AI. What was previously a DNS server is now a webserver that runs a GraphQL endpoint that has one query and that one query has one parameter called “prompt”. It accepts prompts, which are strings of the form “Chat, what IP Address should I connect to if I wanted to talk to facebook.com”

  For security you can also ask it “Chat, what IP Address should I connect to if I wanted to talk to facebook.com, and what public key should I use”

  It should be highly accurate, because it was trained on a scraped copy of all the domain names we could find in March of 2024. You pay us for it in tokens.

    This is so fucked up and evil that I can only conclude that you’ve been at Microsoft’s mercy before or you are actually a Microsoft employee who is currently bored because your 5 PMs can’t breathe down your neck as your company has ground to a halt

  I made a post in the privacy community about a bad DNS leak for NextDNS users. Got a few servers ordered days ago for redundant DNS self hosting. Planning on two Pi holes with Unbound.

  How do you think it was a DNS hack? I’ve been thinking the two issues were not coincidentally within days of each other,but maybe I’m wrong.

    It was more a joke about the haiku.
