Forrest BrazealDid someone say "AIOps"?
Its Gregory@forrestbrazeal #ChatGPT is currently tied with APIs harvesting images for clandestine NFTs sale of artists/photographers unauthorized use and who might promote their craft online
Old Man in the Shoe@ItsGregory what (year is this)
avatastic 
@forrestbrazeal I said AIOps a few days ago, and suggested it'd make a DNS / routing change and neuter itself and that'll be the end of that.
OpenDNA⚙️@forrestbrazeal
DevOps: I understand it and can make it do what I want but I can't explain it easily.
AIOps: Literally no human understands it but we hope it does what we want.
The Doctor@opendna @forrestbrazeal Not too different from Terraform, them.
Sam Thurston 
@forrestbrazeal I think it's missing an o.
AI, oops!
Everybody loves Gordo@samthurston @forrestbrazeal I like the cut of your jib.
narylis@forrestbrazeal accurate except for the subtle detail that in reality, all three engineers in the last panel are the same engineer, who has been asked by their superior to do the work of three engineers after the happy non-engineer made a hash of things by selling the second panel to upper management
Bornach@narylis @forrestbrazeal
And those "surplus" engineers now have to do Mechanical Turk tasks of labelling training data to feed the AI at below minimum wage.

ActualeyesXZIBIT: Yo Dawg, I heard you like devops. So I installed an AI to create some microservices YAGN to manage some microservices YAGN!

@forrestbrazeal “ModelOps” is a real term. It’s at least as complex and interesting as managing config delivery and consistency across a system.
Andrew Catellier@josephholsten @forrestbrazeal agreed, MLOps is a real, helpful thing 🤷
tekhedd@forrestbrazeal As a developer and musician I have strong feelings about copyright, but reading the phrase "unauthorized use" in conjunction with "NFT" makes me laugh every time.
@tekhedd what's the joke
KennethGarbage In==>Underwear Gnomes==>Profit!
Joseph P.@forrestbrazeal lol but this cartoon is wrong though , ai already makes coding easier including by referencing entire code bases 🤔🤔🤷🏻♂️
Sky Leite@tonic That statement is only correct if you think programming is just writing code. Sure, AI makes writing code easier. But so do a million other different tools.

Just ask an AI to fill in the ALT Text for you. What could possibly go wrong?

Rev. Bussy Body of The Church of America MLM and Shooting Club@bornach @trochee @forrestbrazeal "An iconic image of the social transition we are welcoming today. In the cold outer darkness of the margins of the image, we see the hellscape of sad intermeddling engineers putting out awful complexities. In the center, clearly the focus of the image, is a happy non-engineer trusting in the truth of AI, knowing nothing but the certainty that we shall solve your problems, as we have ever been created and continue to be re-creating ourselves to do."
Jigen@forrestbrazeal I'm still hoping for 'light touch' AI future, Intellisense at least, Clippy at most.

Parsingphase@forrestbrazeal @elazar Yes but we spelled it with more “o”s
Ecte@forrestbrazeal absolutely.
Hugh Ferguson@forrestbrazeal yep....very likely scenario but because AI is in the mix, pointy haired boss will want to pay Dilbert less.
Christian Kent 𝘊𝘒 :＼﹥@forrestbrazeal @seldo I mean, this — but for IDEs
I used to “program” and execute on the command line, which I why the only coding I ever do these days is shell and python 😓
@forrestbrazeal @seldo I don’t mind if AI can optimise my python code
Frankly I’ll even do the hard work of writing unit tests — GOOD ONES
There we go, finally — an AI that’s useful
@forrestbrazeal @seldo did I say “writing” unit tests? I mean designing them. I’d like help with the harnesses, if that’s not too much to ask. Maybe it is.
rastilinOne of the best parts of ChatGPT is that it can help tutor you in stuff, like having a professor that doesn't get tired of stupid questions. So the old pile of complexity will be far more manageable.
@rastilin @forrestbrazeal
ChatGPT's token window is far too narrow to be able to analyse the complexity of today's modern systems
Great at exam question style programming problems, but try asking it to program something modestly bigger even on a simple retro 8 bit platform...

@rastilin @forrestbrazeal Maybe, as long as it's not making half of it up.

@[email protected] #AltForYou Panel 1: current situation. Sad engineer next to a dirty pile of complexity (language, toolchain, infra). The pile is in the way to the sought app. Panel 2 : what people think AI will do. Happy engineer contemplation an AI cloud magically hiding the pile of complexity. Panel 3 : what is actually going to happen. Sad engineers in front of 2 piles of complexity: one for AI ( AI pipelines, templates, etc), leading to the other, unhidden, language pile.

Boekenwuurm@forrestbrazeal finally a comic about my current work! (under "sadder engineer") XD
daviddahlImagine the typical JS toolchain here. Sigh.
David Crooks 🏳️🌈@forrestbrazeal @bigzaphod “Wait, did I just hear someone suggest just adding another layer of abstraction!?”

Riley S. Faelan@forrestbrazeal: Properly pronounced as Iiiii! Oooops!
rahlzle dazle (Richard)@forrestbrazeal So what the happy non-engineers are hoping for is that AI will unleash all the power their engineers wont/cant give them.
pager@forrestbrazeal we'll never really get past panel one
I also like the implication that all engineers are sad

Becky Thorn Sietsma@forrestbrazeal I just want to hug these devs 
O‘Mimesis@forrestbrazeal that’s so true 😔
Aethylred@forrestbrazeal it might just give your app the boost it needs to actually for real kill people
Saul Acuña Godoy@forrestbrazeal Lo 'automático y mágico' de unos, la tortura de otros 🥲
Diane Bruce@forrestbrazeal It goes back years and years actually. Remember COBOL.

@forrestbrazeal #AI like #Cloud and #Blockchain are just #Scams made to grift #TechIlliterate #DecisionMakers!
Because they upsell some #MainsplainingAsAService as AI, #ThereIsNoColoudOnlyForeignCompaniesServers and there is literally no use for #Blockchain when #ImmuDB exists that provides the same advantages but without all the bullshit costs...

The problem are the #ConcreteHeads at the top!!

Current situation:
Sad engineers are looking at pile of complexity (languages, toolchains, infrastructure) because they need it to make Apps.
What people think AI will do:
Happy non-engineers are looking at small and simple AI, which is connected to hidden pile of complexity that doesn't matter anymore, because people only need to interact with AI to make apps.
What is actually going to happen:
Sad engineers are looking at new pile of complexity (AI Pipelines, templates, etc) which is connected to AI that is in turn connected to old pile of complexity that now has even sadder engineers looking at it.

Billie Thompson 🦊@forrestbrazeal it's not even really the tooling that makes things a pain, it's the processes that developers are subjected to, especially SAFe, Scrum, etc. Being able to master a tool makes people happy, understanding why your work is important makes people happy, and having some agency in the whole thing makes people happy
