       @cwebber The evangelization of this slop as "magic" is going to backfire hard. Just wish it'd happen sooner.

       @cwebber@social.coop the other day I was considering how much better it would be if those buttons just added glitter to your GUI theme.  that would be nice.

       @cwebber @unlofl @demiurg I said something to them like "I have to admit, I thought you would be one of the few vendors on the floor who wouldn't be doing an AI demo" they were like "[genuine] oh why is that?" You know who was the only vendor there with zero AI marketing? Hashicorp. (They just weren't ready, they're all in on AIOps now that they're part of IBM.)

       @demiurg @cwebber I talked to their team at Google Cloud Next when they announced this feature. I said, "somebody's going to sign based on your summary, regret it, and blame you. you're not worried about that?" and they were like "interesting, nobody has brought that up, email us and we'll get back to you"

       @unlofl @ryanprior @demiurg To be fair to the product team, management should be hearing from lawyers and hearing "oh god this is a terrible idea" and then reporting to management would presumably workBut you knowThe lawyers are probably using LLMs to generate their opinions so
