Congrats to Anthropic for vibe leaking all their IP online.

Oracle have laid off 30k employees today. They did it to personal email accounts at 6am 🫡 saying they needed the money to spend on GenAI instead. https://thenextweb.com/news/oracle-layoffs-march-2026

Oracle’s share price since they went GenAI nuts:

A thing being repeated across businesses worldwide, including at Microsoft, is C level execs struggling to know why most staff aren’t using Copilot for M365, despite how much it costs.

Because most staff don’t spend all day in Teams meetings reading out PowerPoint slides to people who pretend to care. They have actual jobs. Doing work. Which they know how to do. Because it is their job.

In fairness, with GenAI you can accelerate things - eg the business directly into a wall.

Going all in with GenAI, the case study.

Microsoft are removing the Copilot integrations in Notepad, Snipping Tool etc in Windows.

Turns out telling PMs to bake Copilot into everything was a dumb idea.

Buzzfeed journey:

- Successful
- Pivoted to GenAI for content
- Laid everybody off
- Now admits it probably can't stay in business

BlueSky, the fully decentralised (wink wink) social media platform is down worldwide again.

Accenture are firing people who don't use Copilot enough. This one comes from Microsoft (Accenture are a major vendor for MS). https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/02/25/accenture-youre-promoted-or-fired-on-using-the-ai/

Today in InfoSec Job Security News:

I was looking into an obvious ../.. vulnerability introduced into a major web framework today, and it was committed by username Claude on GitHub. Vibe coded, basically.

So I started looking through Claude commits on GitHub, there’s over 2m of them and it’s about 5% of all open source code this month.

As I looked through the code I saw the same class of vulns being introduced over, and over, again - several a minute.

Remember that time I ended up in court with Elon Musk after he bet me the cave diver was a pedo?

Anyway, here’s Elon begging Jeffrey Epstein for crazy parties on his private island, several years after Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking girls.

Tesla 4th quarter profit plunges 61% year-over-year

Consumers cite Elon Musk as a major factor in not buying now

Elon given first trillion dollar remuneration package by Tesla board because nobody there gives a fuck

It's not just the FBI, btw - MS accepts valid law enforcement request internationally. Also it's not just BitLocker.

I was wondering when a reporter would uncover this.

So BitLocker is super secure, right? Well... BitLocker recovery keys are backed up to Microsoft's Cloud - and they give them out to law enforcement on request. Using the BitLocker recovery key, you can just unlock the device without a PIN etc.

C suites think GenAI is saving loads of time vs the actual workers, who don’t.

You haven’t lived til you’ve seen an ultrasound doctor do this while scanning your bollocks

For anybody following the saga of my balls, the good news is they don’t think it’s cancer. I have highly unusual balls I’m told, where there’s about 15 small developmental cysts on each that are just chilling and have probably been there a long time (from fetal growth).

Also don’t be afraid of getting your balls checked out, I had three ultrasounds and all were painless and not embarrassing. I have a ton of funny stories too, eg the Windows ultrasound box rebooting for security updates mid scan

Happy tenth anniversary to the greatest picture ever taken, down near my old Co-op office.
