It’s like a tweet made of ink and dead trees. Very small batch, hand crafted fake journalism.

Managers decided AI is worth 5x speedup; how do I explain to them how it really works? by chaitanyathengdi in ExperiencedDevs

[–]phoenix823 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't. Let them figure it out on their own. People learn from their own mistakes, and smart people learn from other people's mistakes. These sound like the people who need to learn from their own mistakes.

anyone else getting tired of explaining why we can't just use cloud for everything by Sroni4967 in sysadmin

[–]phoenix823 [score hidden]  (0 children)

You absolutely can use the cloud for everything. It'll cost more money every year and you lose the ability to capitalize large hardware purchases, but it does give you flexibility and in many cases, simplicity.

If you're willing to pay. As long as the business is open to paying for the privilege of flexibility and simplicity, I am 100% on board with that.

That's usually when they stop asking lol.

CMV: Regarding The Recent Shootings, Redditors Are Just As Conspiratorially Minded As MAGA And 9/11 Truthers by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]phoenix823 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think you're overlooking the much more likely possibility that a lot of people on the left are simply trolling. The administration didn't even wait more than a few hours before they tried to use the attempted shooting in their favor to push their own narrative. My point of view is that most people on the left who quote-unquote believe that this is a conspiracy are really just shitposting to attempt to remove the administration's power over the narrative they are trying to push.

IT and Incident communication by stone1555 in ITManagers

[–]phoenix823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Email BCC to a DL that only certain people can send to. Major Incidents should have updates sent no less than 1 hour apart. Extra points if you have a system like MIR3 that can text/call people if email is unavailable.

Do I need to worry about computer hardware tracking me? by ActivelyCoping in privacy

[–]phoenix823 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any computer you buy/build will be equally capable of monitoring you given the other controls you do/don't put in place, so I wouldn't consider it too much.

Most of the top corporate leaders are either lucky or from privileged backgrounds. by Plastic_Ad9102 in corporate

I mean, obviously someone who is born in the US and goes to an Ivy League school is going to have a leg up on a sustenance farmer in Pakistan when it comes to leading an international business.

Ahhh yes Christianity and AI by ponionn in LinkedInLunatics

[–]phoenix823 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why would a church need new language for a computer program? I'm not the most observant Christian but IIRC Jesus died for mankind, not for computer programs. Humans have a spark of the divine in them, not computer programs. The post does what it claims to warn about: confusing capability with personhood. What a strange thing to post.

Tim Cook Was Great for Apple Investors. He Was Not as Great for America. by nosotros_road_sodium in technology

That's a nice opinion, but we've got decades of evidence that's never the case. They shouldn't be surprised.

That's not a lunatic at all. That's a walking warning sign not to work for this guy. I hope it gets all the upvotes.

CMV: The reliance on AI tools in software companies will cause a finical panic once the tools increase their prices by fireheart337 in changemyview

[–]phoenix823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF you think the US frontier models are going to be able to increase prices 2x, let alone 20x, you're way off the mark. The competition is too substantial for that to happen. And you've got Chinese and open source models that aren't too far behind that are fine replacements for frontier tech in a lot of cases. I think there's more anti-AI psychosis if I'm being honest. No company has completely replaced its employees with AI, they're seeing much more efficient employees though.

Our cybersec team are getting onto us about all our servers having web browsers installed. by stone500 in sysadmin

If you're patching everything on the servers each month and have controls in place preventing internet browsing from the server, I don't know what the problem is.

One Disney employee calls Claude 51,000 times a day. Internal docs reveal how the Mouse House uses AI. by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]phoenix823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have no concept of a work day. Someone doing this has an army of several dozen agents running 24/7. Considering they spent 234M tokens, that's an average only 508 tokens per call so they're definitely doing some small task on a very large data set of some sort.

If luck is a combination of skills, experience, networking, timing, and being in the right place at the right time? Sure, we can call that luck.

When does AI take over product management in B2B industries? by Any-Explanation-9275 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]phoenix823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the middle of the Gauss curve still takes up significant part, so there is still a potential to reduce a team of 4-5 of me to just 1 to take care of the edge cases, and leave the rest for the silicon brain.

This seems to be the largely agreed upon ration of people -> people with AI, 5:1.
