@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.

@amyengineer

@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

@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.

@forrestbrazeal I think it's missing an o.

AI, oops!

@forrestbrazeal

XZIBIT: 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.

@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.

@forrestbrazeal
As someone who debugged their first program in 1970 I think and wrote operating system code without a debugger because there was not enough memory to fit the debugger, and watched the evolution of IT (have you noticed everything that starts with a capital letter and ends with "aaS" pronounced "ass"), I can only say: "Yup!"

@forrestbrazeal

Garbage In==>Underwear Gnomes==>Profit!

@forrestbrazeal lol but this cartoon is wrong though , ai already makes coding easier including by referencing entire code bases 🤔🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

@forrestbrazeal

You missed the cartoon AI salesman carrying off an enormous bag of cash in the background

@forrestbrazeal This is literally what happens every time there is a "tool that allows the business people to make software without programmers" gets invented.

@forrestbrazeal
should file the last image as a patent

@forrestbrazeal this is exactly what will happen!

@forrestbrazeal why are they not calling it AIaaS? Has that gotten old, already?

@forrestbrazeal This. #SoMuchThis

@forrestbrazeal as one of the sad engineers in figures A and C, I love this and I want to boost it
...and I don't have time to write the alt text

@forrestbrazeal I'm still hoping for 'light touch' AI future, Intellisense at least, Clippy at most.

@forrestbrazeal
Are you sure it is not just:
💩 in 💩 out?

@forrestbrazeal @elazar Yes but we spelled it with more “o”s

@forrestbrazeal absolutely.

@forrestbrazeal yep....very likely scenario but because AI is in the mix, pointy haired boss will want to pay Dilbert less.

@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 AI Oops

@forrestbrazeal

One 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.

@forrestbrazeal
Yay! Moar jobs!

@forrestbrazeal ops or Oops?
😋

@forrestbrazeal Please add text.

@forrestbrazeal pas de Alt, pas de RP. Dommage

@forrestbrazeal #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.

@forrestbrazeal Most artists are doomed though. AI art is schockingly good already and it will only get better.

@forrestbrazeal *sad* :<

@forrestbrazeal finally a comic about my current work! (under "sadder engineer") XD

@forrestbrazeal what would the middle panel look like irl if it did happen?

@forrestbrazeal

Imagine the typical JS toolchain here. Sigh.

@forrestbrazeal @bigzaphod “Wait, did I just hear someone suggest just adding another layer of abstraction!?”

@forrestbrazeal @admin

@forrestbrazeal :cat_cry:

@forrestbrazeal It's a subplot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Deepness_in_the_Sky where the ancient hacker can break all the new tech because he's such a relic that he still understands the underlying technology it's all built on, which the current generation of techies have completely detached themselves from, operating so many layers of abstraction higher than him that they can't begin to understand how he could have possibly undermined all their fancy gadgets so completely.

@forrestbrazeal
Please don't say words like that out in public. tech journalists, or worse VCs might hear you and get excited, then we're all in trouble.

@forrestbrazeal: Properly pronounced as Iiiii! Oooops!
