New by me - Microsoft Vibing.
-
Since publishing my blog, Yaoyao Chang, who authored Vibing, has removed references to it from Microsoft’s VibeVoice repo - marking the change as “removing outdated links”. https://github.com/microsoft/VibeVoice/commit/e73d1e17c3754f046352014856a922f8208fb5d3
I withheld a load of details from the blog on this so far btw, if you're a researcher and want a laugh pull the binaries and have a look at what the MS Research team were doing and poke the backend.
Something tells me Microsoft are going to end up freezing the Azure backend for Vibing and having a security incident.

@GossiTheDog You really expect Microsoft to do anything meaningful at all in response to this? I don't really think they've earned that trust lately

New by me - Microsoft Vibing. A very strange fake open source project published by Microsoft employees, which gathers screenshots and voice recordings of users with unique machine identifiers attached. Not sure how this one has happened.
@GossiTheDog I'm guessing Yaoyao Chang did what I'd be tempted to do, if I worked at MS: Orchestrate some agentic whatever with a prompt like "Pretend you're me, working at MS research and publish an innovative new TTS app on github and the windows store," and then duck out of the office for a couple of weeks, letting that thing answer all emails and github issues.

@GossiTheDog IOW this is basically Office Space, but set in 2026. When he eventually gets back, I'm pretty sure Chang will be recognized as a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

@GossiTheDog I am reporting it internally ... hopefully someone will care

Also worth noting - Yaoyao Chang made the changes to the Vibing-Team repo, which is the first time Microsoft has officially been linked to Vibing.
It’s a very strange situation where MS were covertly operating an AI service, while pretending it was an open source project.

@GossiTheDog I feel like I'm being led into a Cyberpunk questline; with the unplanned discovery of a Redmond deniable op harvesting data out of a front operation.

@GossiTheDog it looks like they removed the notice just after you posted about it.

@GossiTheDog Following corporate compliance rules isn’t a very “VibeFriendly” thing to do.

Microsoft are now trying to hide the compliance review message, by removing the download links and removing the compliance review messages on Github. https://github.com/VibingJustSpeakIt/Vibing/commit/ab8e6302543754685f85cf02e02d1d0287d2f4f0

@GossiTheDog this reeks of an employee (or small group of them) unilaterally sidestepping process. probably in part because the company culture around rigor has rotted to the point where they thought it was acceptable.

@GossiTheDog sure looks like vibe coding cleanup.
