There's plenty of blame: Human error and a brittle infrastructure, but an #AI that didn't so much ignore guardrails as bulldoze them has its share as well.

@sjvn Rule 1: Do NOT blindly follow system administration advice, especially in production. That should be a firing offense.

@sjvn after reading the First paragraph: they fully deserved it!

@sjvn who is using ai for devops? this is an insanely bad idea imho

@sjvn

IT reminds me of the first time I was in charge of the office computers in a small firm. For months I asked for backup equipment to make proper backups.
In the end it did not matter... It went bankrupt without a crash..

@vosje62 @philippe A lot of people are turning over their sysadmin work to AI. A lot of people are very foolish.
