EnshittifAIcation

Three episodes, one week. AI bots that hallucinate VPN requirements, recommend Apache configs on nginx servers, and suggest replacing 128 GB of RAM with a cloud VPS. A field note on the cost of mistaking confidence for competence.

@stefano Obviously if you'd stop pushing back and just put '42' in the configs everything would be golden.

@RootMoose exactly!

@stefano

I'm constantly wondering why weren't CEOs and Managers replaced by LLMs ?
Especially considering the fact how stupid some of them are 😭

[michel@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@stefano it's sad and it seems it will get (far) worse before it gets better

[oxyhyxo@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@as400 @stefano because they've convinced the owners that they're necessary to the business and the owners wouldnt degrade themselves by talking to non executive staff

@oxyhyxo @stefano

I think you touched the real problem here.
Big corpos have no owners. They have shareholders. Who care only about revenue.
