  • Right until your PostgreSQL server goes down and you can’t call your IT department and have to start hunting for a contractor, find a budget, get it signed off by management and HR, then on-board the new staff member, that is, after you advertised the position, did job interviews, after first filtering through the 700 … or two, applications, each plausibly generated by a ChatGPT session. Give it something like six months in a big organisation, less in a nimble one.

    Does an “entrenched” anything sound “nimble” to you?



  • What you’re describing is a general experience with LLM, not limited to the C-level.

    If an LLM sprouts rubbish you detect it because you have external knowledge, in other words, you’re the subject matter expert.

    What makes you think that those same errors are not happening at the same rate outside your direct personal sphere of knowledge?

    Now consider what this means for the people around you, including the C-level.

    Repeat after me, AI is Assumed Intelligence and should not be considered anything more than autocorrect on steroids.


  • And that right there is why Windows is so entrenched.

    If you want this for real, adoption of open source, then treat it properly. Consider the business impact of your absence, document the systems, train others, otherwise this is just another timebomb waiting to go off and with it any hope of weakening the Microsoft stranglehold on the company and its C-suite.

    I’ve lost count of the number of such “projects” I’ve encountered in my professional career.

    This is not doing anyone any favours, least of all yourself.
