Great write-up. Side note: interesting to see how many folks commenting did not get it being satire (even the title has LGTM). I guess it's time to rethink how sharp the HN folks truly are compared to the average non-tech person (not that I had any big assumptions myself). I'm curious about this recipe for chevre :D

I read it and saw LGTM and URL and was like "probably satire" but could not rule out it being real until like 30% in.

It's like a modern version of Poe's law.

Seems perfectly cromulent to me. And thanks to Karen Oyelaran for her work.

We can only hope she wins her GitHub rate limit appeal soon. This was hilarious. I didn't know that I needed AI slop satire in my life.

Under Microsoft's ownership? She'll get through the goat-farming queue well before then.

> Duration: 96 hours (billable: 2.1 trillion tokens) Now there's a metric that would make my boss nervous. > Total inference spend across all parties during the incident window was $1.7M, which Marketing has asked us to start describing as “a record investment in autonomous customer assurance.” This is too funny.

I think at some point we need a different or split up currency/economy, because these values make no sense. Just consider how this inference cost 1.062.500 tomatoes ($1.6) in the physical world.

Except it sort of does? You're paying for the food and shelter of the people engaged in all the manual labor in the supply chain which produces the electricity, for example.

Some of them likely eat tomatoes, so for that electricity you need to (indirectly) supply a certain number of tomatoes.

Which is the part about "what will human labor be worth?" that gets missed in all the AI discussion: it's the only thing the economy ultimately values.

By this point I’m not sure why everyone isn’t in “default satire” mode.

Yes, the Americans are waking up, we need to make it abundantly clear to avoid them misunderstanding.

Most of America has been awake for a few hours now. Maybe we need a warning that this post is known to the State of California to be satire.

love the extra satire there

The entire post is great, but the acknowledgements section is particularly excellent: > Kubernetes (the dog), who was not involved in this incident but whose photo in the #incident-response channel was auto-tagged by the Slack image classifier as “container orchestration diagram (confidence: 0.31)”

My favorite:

> This report was reviewed by Legal, who have asked us to clarify that the fox was depicted as over eighteen.

(I know its a satire, but could be seen as an actual post mortem of the future incident) This report made me realize there's no place for humans, as it is right now, in the process of building software systems in the future. Reading this incident made me dizzy after few paragraphs because of the cognitive context overload and I lost track multiple times.

I kinda felt it was satire, but then the below quote threw me off: > one vendor’s marketing team, cc’d on the cost anomaly alert, issues a press release citing “a 430% YoY increase in adversarial multi-agent security reasoning.” The stock opens up 6%. That happens! That is not satire. So i had to visit the comments here to be sure :)

You could have "visited" the satire tag at the top of the article.
