Why do companies keep making this mistake? My full-time job is completely reliant on AWS and Microsoft and we’ve suffered. On the other hand I run a side business which uses smaller services for things (or self-hosts); hell my personal email is a tiny company in Switzerland.
I’m constantly having better uptime than competitors in the shipping business and I rarely have outages of my own infrastructure. It’s kind of fun laughing at AWS and Microsoft businesses when my tiny website stays online while everyone else is offline.
Ugh, super frustrating to witness this stuff at work.
Because managers want the least amount of accountability possible, while being able to claim the most amount of value-add (usefulness) to the company as possible.
Thus, the LLM is the perfect tool for management.
Its even better than contracted consultants!
No one is clearly liable or responsible for what an LLM does, therefore, its the perfect way to look like you are doing something important while not being at fault for anything that goes wrong.
Companies keep making this mistake because their leaders are incompetent yet are also personally driven by the performance of confidence.
Pathological narcissism is the reason.
I doubt any lessons were learned.
