You should. It's their fault for picking a bad vendor. It's their fault for not finding someone with taste to solve the problem. Fundamentally its their business, pretending you can blame someone else for your ultimate accountability is stupid.
Nobody is forcing you to take poison, and saying "Well Microsoft promised me it isn't poison!!!" at this point, decades into it selling poison, doesn't make much sense.
- kakacik 14d agoThats a fraud and host of other charges with that poison, and I see no difference with overhyped llms. You are not correct.
- hilariously 14d agoFool me once, shame on you, fool me ten billion times its still Microsoft's fault you bought the wrong thing.

- seethishat 14d agoThey didn't pick the bad vendor, the herd did. They all go to the same conferences, attend the same vendor lunches and buy the same garbage. And today, most of the IT managers are not technical at all. They have art degrees and have never been technology practitioners. Literally anyone off the street can be a "decision maker" in technology today. Just buy what everyone else is buying and collect a huge paycheck while working remote. People who understand tech and sort of know what they are doing, are not included. That has been my experience.

- WarmWash 14d agoMy previous landlord was the IT manager of [big bank everyone would recognize] at their headquarters. When he asked me to email him scans of a bunch of personal documents, I asked him for his PGP key. ..."What's that?"
- philipallstar 14d agoWell, yes. He probably was expecting GPG.
- spwa4 13d agoNo ... THEY very much did. In fact the whole idea of their job is that they are responsible for the outcomes. Seriously. Listen to their speeches. That gets repeated and repeated and repeated, again and again and again. Of course, if insurance companies were rapidly held to account by courts, a core function of the courts if there ever was one, there would be no problem here. Which is probably why most governments are defunding the courts.
- watwut 14d agoI think that we need to start blaming vendors for blatant lies. Systematically, again amd again. And actually punish them. Somehow the "accountability" shifted from meaning "being reaponsible for not defrauding, lying" into "it is fault of people who were lied to".
- hilariously 14d agoFeel free to blame MSFT all you want, I am just saying at some point if your boss keeps making dumb decisions it IS your bosses fault. It's like a person voting for Trump the second time being confused at all his lies, at this point basic education would get you out of this.
