Weird. Monthly updates used to be pretty harmless with a bunch of little bug fixes that really only affected a few people. Then AI came out, and in the past 6 months or so every patch Tuesday has been a complete disaster. It's almost as if they laid off a bunch of engineers and now have the remaining ones just vibe coding shit while using the same LLM to do code review and everything is going to hell. Not that it was a phenomenal product to begin with, but when you have engineers vibe coding patches for such a delecate platform, it's going to end in disaster.
Are you suggesting the patches are fixing issues the AI caused? If so, that isn't what's happening. AI is finding vulnerabilities from old human written code at a pace unlike anything before. Not because humans couldn't technically find them, it's just that they never did. That isn't me marketing or shelling out for an AI company, there are many different models accomplishing the same thing, and more to come. It's not just with Microsoft, though Microsoft has a lot of vulnerabilities to find. AI is causing chaos for just about every major tech company with all the vulnerabilities being found. And they have to find and patch them before someone else uses the AI to find and abuse the vulnerabilities first. The long standing match of cat and mouse is much faster than it once was
