I'm pretty astounded by the average consumer's trust in big tech. After working in the industry for 25+ years, I have almost zero trust in these firms, including the new ones. Be cautious when trusting an LLM, as they're not your friend.
QOTD - 'Production Grade Agentic Infrastructure'
I think I will put my 'jumbo shrimp' in a 'plastic glass' before I put on some 'icey hot' and engage in 'intense apathy'.

We've bet our whole economy on LLMs, and that was a bad move. I'm now 100% convinced that the current systems are a dead end, and I will need to exit safely soon. The run-up may continue, but doom today or doom tomorrow... It's still DOOM!

Go on LinkedIn, watch everyone complain about AWS being down, then I find some great gems about how you failed to architect your systems. This is classic failure-domain analysis and understanding your MTTR. If your service is down, don't blame the cloud provider; blame your architect.

QOTD: China has decided to invest in solar, electric cars, and devices of all kinds. We've decided to bet the farm on LLMs, even though we don't have the infrastructure to support the demand.

Nothing about the escalation of this 'trade war' is strategic. In fact, there seems to be only downsides in most scenarios... So why are we doing this? Because of one single idiot who can't see past his own ego. This is a level of insanity that is difficult to quantify.

Why does the media even interview politicians anymore? It should just be the facts and logistics in a news piece; everything else is just bullshit.
