@markrussinovich Where did the code used for the LLM come from?
You okay over there, Microsoft?
I agree. The corollary to this is that when that well-maintained managed service sends you an email about "an update to our pricing," that boosts your costs fivefold, you begin rethinking things super quickly.
We live in an age of “just do it for me.” If I can find a well-maintained managed service that does something and does it well, I’ll use it 99 times out of 100. It's almost always a better product than if I built it myself anyways.
I'm sure many of you are seeing this in your enterprises - budgets are suffering due in part, to 'AI' initiatives taking the air out of other activities: wikibon.com/breaking-analy…
The impact from this is way wider than initially thought — this is sending ripples across the whole tech sector! A thread that may or may not be a bit paranoid / anxiety-powered 🧵 1/22

Big swing and a miss from HashiCorp. I hope your production codebase or operations stack doesn’t use terraform open source 👎🏽

Oh hey, the 2023 APM @Gartner_inc Magic Quadrant report is out. Let's go on a guided tour through it. (If you believe this is going to be boring, then you likely haven't been following me for very long. This is usually described as "an entertaining bloodbath.")
It is time for Proactive FinOps 🚀

After a hiatus, time to return to this space (for however long) to talk about how orgs are fumbling cloud cost management. Today's observation: the last minite scramble to find savings
I'm sure that FOMO, and marketing, are leading some to believe Chat-GPT will soon be doing #finops analysis. I think, on the contrary, inevitable failures will lead back to good old fashioned biz intel and targeted machine learning as observability aids.
Microsoft OneDrive down worldwide following claims of DDoS attacks - @serghei bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft…
In the midst of your enthusiasm, caution is still warranted and operational security still necessary:
Every time I play around with prompt injection, I come away surprised that MS and others continue to add LLM+plugin functionality to their core products. Here, after one visit to a malicious site, ChatGPT sends *each subsequent message* to the website. Goodbye, privacy.
I recommend this article. It provides a great example of the sort of fascistic, profoundly overconfident, stunningly arrogant white dude who's attracted to Rationalism and Effective Altruism. I promise you this paragraph gets worse the more you read: richardhanania.com/p/why-ea-will-…
ChatGPT and Microsoft's partnership is a hot topic but what are the FinOps implications? In this post, I take a first look at the cost factors of deploying these services. azurefinops.blog/2023/03/14/cha…
@elchefe Many things have changed in AMS over the years and this isn't as true or common as it once was (or still is in nearby Belgium or Germany). Do you have an itinerary? It's possible to confirm ahead with the club.
