Sources and leaks from Amazon, Adobe, Atlassian, Citi, and more show what is really happening with AI right now: companies are trying to rein in AI use as costs spiral out of control.
I had to push back on that at work. Most of the problems presented were easily solvable via conventional methods. Only one task was a legitimate use of AI. There are some others, but the pressure to consider AI for every task is a little bananas
My boss was talking about using AI agents for CI/CD processes. Like, I get using them to build CI/CD processes, but involving AI agents in the actual build process is ridiculously stupid. A representative from Microsoft specifically said in a training session to not use them that way so it’s obviously not only my stupid ass boss.

The very notion instills fear and disgust.
Only nerds want idempotent build results, it’s so fun debugging slop…
