Major Cloud providers have all suffered significant outages recently. At an unprecedented rate.
They are firing engineers because of their 'AI'.
I wonder if these things are related.

@stefano Didn't someone film themselves getting fired at Clownflare?

@stefano I am certain they are. So far, #tech companies are pouring billions into #AI but there is little to no #roi.

For AI to be used correctly it needs to serve some otherwise mundane function, not replace staff with decades of institutional #knowledge.

So far, we've seen AI churn out glitchy #pictures and #erroneous #text #generation.

Call me a #Luddite, but this is definitely an instance where going back to the olden days is necessary, i.e. a decentralized #internet run by #humanbeings.
