  A big reason is because you can’t sign up for half of the hyperscalers. Today I tried to open an @Azure account today & the anti-bot mechanism was broken. I then tried @googlecloud & adding an address to billing was broken. They just don’t care anymore. 🤷

  @Azure "The question isn't where AI should run—it’s how many billions of dollars are being wasted running models on unoptimized, chaotic data estates just to satisfy FOMO. You can't out-build bad data architecture with more compute."

  Can’t wait to launch my new project 🎉 pmuch launch rdy now so pumped just gotta wait in @Azure to fix itself . Insane that I’ve been waiting for 3 weeks for KYC on a $10/mo service lol

  Manual expense processing slows teams down. When Ramp faced this problem, it turned to the Microsoft Azure AI Platform to automate 5M receipts each month - saving the company 30,000 hours of work. 😱 Read the story to understand how AI makes it possible. @Azure

  @Microsoft @Azure The only thing worse is when you get stuck into their ticketing system, also known as hell. I once was running a project where nothing got fixed because the people working on our case kept leaving to go to other companies and they never replied. Absolutely insanity.

  @Azure just lost its most valuable competitive edge. @OpenAI officially ended its cloud exclusivity with Microsoft. Their models can now be deployed on any cloud provider, and AWS CEO @ajassy already confirmed GPT models are coming to Bedrock "in the coming weeks." This was always going to happen. You can't build a $150B AI company and let one vendor own your distribution channel forever. The 2019 Azure exclusivity deal made sense when OpenAI needed survival compute. In 2026, it was just dead weight. The real lesson is that single-cloud dependencies in AI were always a bad bet. Model access, GPU availability, data sovereignty, you want optionality in all three. Anyone who locked their AI stack to Azure assuming exclusivity would last is doing some uncomfortable math right now. Is your AI stack still locked to one cloud or are you already spreading the risk?

  Show me the bigger scam than this!! FIRST you pay to use the services and they are under delusion that their system is so perfect that there is no bug!! and than you pay to get support and still you find it so hard to just reach to the customer support!!! Please @Azure team at least use good AI to share support documentation!!!

  Tried to setup @Azure Foundry for @OpenAI data residency in West Germany. Recap after 1 hour: This is the WORST dev experience like ever. WTF is deployment type (I selected Germany for a reason), what is quota and why does it not exist? I added a credit card - THAT IS MY QUOTA. Oh, and not a SINGLE OpenAI model (except text-embedding-3-large) is selectable. Apparently, there is "some quota" for GPT-4-Turbo (hello 2023!!) but the model is not even in the model selector... And the best thing? How much model quota you have, the model's description, and the model's pricing are at 3 different locations. Oh, and, yes, you are able to "Request Quota" but it is just a long form where you have to enter ALL your account data again and even add a justification, and then maybe get a reply at some point? So, basically, a customer needing data residency in Germany will need to write a support ticket as their first task after account creation. Nice CX.. I am quitting the process and will try out @MistralAI for this project

  @Azure, you want to tell that someone from Afghanistan can create an account with you but a developer from Sierra Leone cannot create an account? Please fix this issue.

  Dear @Azure , do you think it is acceptable to have a 5+-days lag on PAYG subscription costs, then issue a cost alert for exceeding a threshold all while the cost dashboard does not match up at all with the alert? This is beyond a joke.

  @Azure Evaluation to enforcement is the right loop. Agent trust is not a one-time test; it needs repeated policy checks, runtime controls, and evidence that the fix actually changed behavior before the agent gets more scope.

  @dotMorten @Azure @azureadvocates Means if I check a brand new Windows VM on Azure it should definitely support nuget to install any development dependencies?

  @Azure @AzureSupport Your content filtering for models is so ******* strict. I didn't live 34 years just to not be allowed to 'cuss' or say '****' - you block everything. I could die tomorrow but at least you prevented me from reading '*****' . **** YOU.

  @Azure, please fix your portals. User experience is so bad that I can't create an Azure PAT and project, as the continue button won't work

  @AzureSupport @Azure it is unacceptable that you are not complying with your SLAs on production support. I have created a Severity A ticket, my services are completely down and you've not assigned a support engineer for case yet. 8 hours have passed since I created the ticket

  @BlasikRandy @Azure Codex doesn't fix the problem of a cloud-native shell that's actually in the same region as the tenant with an effective set of security controls and behaves correctly in a chromium-based browser on multiple devices.
