Did CrowdStrike actually suffer? That was a huge outage and their stock is today at an all time high. Seems like no one actually cares. Neither the companies providing the software, the companies purchasing the software, nor the markets.

To me, this is the craziest part about all of it. Why doesn't anyone seem to care?

Because the purpose of Crowdstrike is not to prevent exploits or make computing safer, its purpose is to allow corporate CTOs to tick a checkbox.

Why would they suffer? They showcased that they were big enough to disrupt the global economy. Why _wouldn't_ you invest in something so big and powerful?

This is the same as when junkies specifically seek batches of drugs on which others overdosed.

I know you're being sarcastic but what worries me is it seems people really do think that way. AI didn't create the addiction, but it's like switching from opium to fentanyl

The ODs are proof the drugs are good!
