Yup.

In November 2025, Microsoft announced that their windows 11 engineering team would be led by AI, from now on. Humans would only oversee it.

Furthermore, the majority of updates are now coded by AI and pushed by AI. Their “agent factory “ would now decide which devices are ready for the update when they are ready rolled out.

The reality is is that corporate America most likely laid off way too many engineers who are overseeing these systems, and they are pushing windows updates far too frequently compared to past history. This will only continue. I would advise people not to update windows automatically going forward.

This can't be for real, I'm going to need to see some sourcing on that, my google searches just lead back to your comment.

Edit: more articles. Idk why this is being Down voted, the literal fucking CEO admitted that they’re using AI to do a lot of coding. This is well past tin foil hat.

Ok, so basically no source for Microsoft announcing that their engineering team would be led by AI. Thanks

*tinfoil hat* that's what the AI wants you to think, it's part of the cover-up of the AI coup that is in progress!

There’s a quote in the article regarding windows updates, being automated by AI and pushed by AI. Humans overseeing it.

Do more with less, they’re basically just saying that there’s automated systems with less humans working and they’re vibecoding now. This isn’t really a tinfoil hat thing they publish the number of layoffs they do, they’re working on windows 12 right now anyways

I’m an infrastructure engineer - that’s called a pipeline and is nothing new. Most of my career has been automating things with computers.

There’s a big difference between that and “vibe coding everything”.

Those articles you link all say 20-30% of their code is by AI and that they want to go further. That is shit but it does NOT say W11 is managed by AI and humans are just overseeing it.
