  So there are only a few options here:

  1. Microsoft is lying, and this is an attack

  2. They aren’t lying, and this just shows their infrastucture is dogshit.

  3. They aren’t lying, and someone internal fucked up so bad it took out multiple countries e-mail

  4. They are lying, it’s an attack, but it’s from their own AI agents

  None of those options are a good look for Microsoft.

      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.

      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.

    I wonder if it is just a coincidence that it happens right in the wake of the Nvidia scandal.

    Why would anyone trust anything from 4chan? That site is a cesspool of hatred and lies. They’re proud of it.
