New by me - Microsoft Vibing.

[gossithedog@cyberplace.social]

This Vibing one is a fun blog btw as every page it gets to be a bigger version of this

[gossithedog@cyberplace.social]

@fencepost yeah, when in use. It doesn't tell you it's going to do it... it just.. does.

@GossiTheDog

Seriously don't know what to make of this. Rogue employees, sailing under the Microsoft flag? Fake employees?

The app itself is terrifying and stupid. I can easily imagine naïve users interested in AI installing this thing and forgetting about it.

[gossithedog@cyberplace.social]

@ralfmaximus as far as I know it's just lack of governance, people have realised they can skip the checks by just pretending it's open source

@GossiTheDog imagine if everyone knows, but it's under the "use AI an amount of hours/lines per day" carte-blanche...

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social for what it's worth, the package family name of this thing is YaoyaoChang.Vibing_ssp53fcyfr9ha - in my opinion it doesn't seem to look like anything "official", but rather an employee releasing it on their own partner center account?

[rootwyrm@weird.autos]

@GossiTheDog oh, it's pretty goddamn obvious exactly how this one happened.

See also: GitHub's official applications abruptly sprouting similar levels of spyware and calling it 'telemetry.'

[panjkov@mas.to]

@GossiTheDog I just reported it through Microsoft Store links. Let's see if anything comes out of it.

[systemadminihater@cyberplace.social]

@GossiTheDog There is no oversight at the company.

@Rairii the problem is the Azure front door is MSFT tenant.. and they're pretending it's not them I think?

[jukkan@mstdn.social]

@GossiTheDog Now that Microsoft has a 24/7 OpenClaw team in Oslo, I expect a lot more vibe artifacts appearing from within their network...

@GossiTheDog At last, we can cut out the middleman and just put the malware authors in the OS company.

Sorry, Jia Tan, you’re out of a job.

@GossiTheDog th- thats- it just... yikes

[gossithedog@cyberplace.social]

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who authored Vibing, has removed references to it from Microsoft’s VibeVoice repo - marking the change as “removing outdated links”.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

@GossiTheDog @Rairii that looks like a llm speaking

@GossiTheDog just as well the void has no token accounting, I'd be destitute
