I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.
I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).
It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.
The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.
We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.
I worry.
@pickuphoop@pelinkaburner Denver would laugh at the 4/100 offer for Watson and wait till the last second to match just to f with the lakers. Offer needs to be at least $32m/yr if you want a chance at him
@SamQuinnCBS That’s also why if you’re a team trying to poach him this summer, your starting offer better be at least $32m/year so he would be Denver’s 3rd highest paid player if they match and would possibly need to trade 2 of AG, Cam and Braun to avoid apron hell.
@damanr The real move should have been to dump Dalton to a team with cap space. You then keep Goodwin and also have enough space under 1st apron hard cap to fill 15th roster spot, which they currently are unable to
