Yes, this is official documentation from the MS Learn course for the Agentic AI Solution Architect certificate
Microslop SharePhont™
For years, I’ve rather read Stackoverflow comments than Microsoft’s nearly unusable documentation. It’s as if they don’t know how to write coherently
I see, they have been continvoucly morging the docs themselves, as per their developer docs

The worst is claiming Copilot “understands intent & meaning”, the funny mistakes more or less show that that’s just a blatant lie.
I’m starting to think they aren’t concerned about making their slides even remotely veritable. This one’s barely even combigent!
“Combigent?” Hm, I never heard that word before I moved to Microsoft.
Those are perfectly cromulent words.
A “combingent” is when a guy is going commando, but when using the bathroom, is in too much of a hurry and gets his scrote skin caught in the zip

It’s Microslop. The people who had any resemblance of work ethics left a long time ago. No one still working there gives any shits about QA - especially not the management.
Saw this article from Microslop the other day about their MDASH copilot model competing with Mythos for bug finding/fixing.
And here’s the image they went with for the flowchart of what the AI does… Complete with overlapping text and the worst layout I’ve ever seen.
Zero humans proofed this.
about their MDASH copilot model
that’s satire, right?
I know this! This is a slide deck which only makes sense in an interactive way, where the steps are revealed after one another. Probably straight from a presentation.
Don’t attribute bad work to AI which can be done in the same way by an incompetent human.
As someone who’s career depended on presentations for a while:
Never build animations in-slide (unless they are purely aesthetic).
Instead:
Build multiple slides which duplicate the previous and add new boxes with transitions on the slides. Bonus: change the title on each build to cover the key point.
Sure, they take longer to edit. But that leave-behind export to PDF always works.

It’s the Combigent Directive
Anyone remember how much nicer the world felt before we all realized nobody in charge of anything with any real power has any idea what the fuck they’re doing?
Nope.
I’m legitimately having a blast right now, 100% affirmed by reality, which I spent the last roughly 15 years of trying to tell people, very labriously, with very detailed reasoning, why what is now obvious was then and basically always has been the case.
Your discomfort is my schadenfreude.
They know what they are doing. Their goals just don’t align with the rest of humanity.
The mistake we make is in assuming that government choices are born of incompetence… The actions of empire are not incompetent. They are not intended to serve you or the citizens, but to serve material interests, the plunder of land, natural resources, markets, and cheap labor".

RIP to the GOAT
Edit: He talks about it in the lecture starting around 15:35. Though the quote above is from his book “against empire”
We didn’t all realize that at the same point. Some of us have known that for a very long time.
Well back then we thought everyone in charge was evil. Back then we had Krutschev, Nixon etc. Always nuclear war looming. And Reagan with this trickle downs, the Bush wars over made-up WMDs etc.
I don’t think there was ever really a positive period. Maybe the 90s which was kinda the high point. Economics were good, America and NATO was the undisputed world power, nobody took global warming seriously yet and the internet was promising a great future.
Then after 2000 we had the dot com crash, 9/11, the resulting wars, Russia becoming an enemy again, the financial world crisis, the rise of the internet as a surveillance tool, global warming, the pandemic, exploding house prices everywhere.
Really pretty much exactly after the change of the century everything turned to shit.
Economics were good if you lived in a western country. Former Soviet Block, Yugoslavia, and global South countries were having a rough go of thing in the 90s
They’re still having a rough go of things, and they were having a rough go of things before that as well, so that’s not really a valid counterpoint.
Yeah but the future was bright back then.
No that was a long time ago for some of us it’s always been like this you were just insulated by privilege
Thanks for notifying, I hate to know it’s true (no insult intended)
who morged that? Why does that happen continvously?
What a combigent, inbiltum response!
It’s AI generated
Thank you for joining the class
TBH the joke isn’t annotated as such and there are always people stupid or innocent enough.
It’s a reference to another Microsoft classic: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/microsoft-caught-plagiarizing-graphics-with-ai-slop-microsoft-continvoucly-morged-my-diagram-there-for-sure
every time we see AI mix up *U* and *V* we just imagine it not as a machine, but instead as a european renaissance-era writer who accidentally time traveled into the current year and promptly got locked up in a cubicle with a real-time brain scanner wired up that interfaces with chatbot programs seen online
for extra hallucinations simply assume the consumption of one (1) early 1900s fire extinguisher’s worth of carbon tetrafluoride as part of your scribe’s daily fluid intake
Is that why tech bros keep trying to bring back phrenology?
Yes, that’s the point
Due to the negative press combigent
I started using linkwarden to archive their documentation for various things just so I know I’m not crazy when it changes.
You can track the changes on its github https://github.com/microsoftdocs
Oh my Lord, that is so much easier and in hindsight, so obvious. Thank you brother!
