LLM : the new PHP Hammer.

LLM : the new PHP Hammer. In regards to using LLMs to run devops commands on server fleets (Ubuntu news). This is a terrible idea. The tool exists already, Saltstack or Ansible (if you must). Define a strict expected state, reapply it routinely to verify it or alert when it wasn't. It should be Idempotent. Not probabilistic, guard rails or not. I know the folks involved are all smarter than I, but this seems like a misstep #ubuntu #leSigh

Anyway can we not just get on to the next hottness while this tyre fire is still going, Quantum! Quantum configs, where nothings quite what it seems, the service is both started and failed. Surely we must be in a __superposition__ to know where we stand then... #sorry #getMyCoat

@felimwhiteley maybe adventure seekers enjoy a moving target server configuration

@felimwhiteley we're going to deal with nondeterministic LLM output to meet idempotent requirements by constraining them with a quantum stage and record the transaction on the blockchain and issue NFT certificates which can be purchased with crypto.

@shom@gts.shom.dev @felimwhiteley@mastodon.social Glad Ubuntu is building their own Torment Nexus instead of the widespread adoption of the despicable Torment Nexus for everyone else.
Phew, dodged a bullet there! -
