Yeah, Claude is great for busywork. But in the end, there is a self-correcting reality
I got hauled into a data center today because Claude was used to spec it and screwed up badly. At least 2,500 GPUs were in an impossible upside down and backwards plan. 😱 I had to pause the call because I couldn't stop laughing. AI had sabotaged the AI datacenter spec for buildi

There are a lot of people just like that who would like to be able to keep a roof over their head, food on their table and have enough help that they don't have to worry about the thankless and unglamorous work they've taken on being in vain if they get hit by a bus one day.In case you would, like me, be desperately upgrading your #Synology because #infosec after a while, be aware that when doing from DSM 7.2 to DSM 7.4, exFAT package goes away and is replaced by native exFAT implementation.

It’s missing the part where Kyle feels like he has done a lot of hard work, he absolutely owns it and whoever is copying him is an asshole
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr
