Hi! I'm Jim Salter, aka mercenary_sysadmin, aka "the biggest ZFS stan on the planet." I am *not* Jim Salter, the Associated Press reporter based in Missouri. That's a different guy, and he hides from the Internet. tech blog: https://jrs-s.net/ github: https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/ Practical ZFS: https://discourse.practicalzfs.com/
Hot take: AI is the literal antithesis of the Unix Philosophy. I really kind of want to write up a full piece on this, but I'm also pretty damn tired. So here's the short version: The UP is about keeping tools simple, modular, and reusable to maximize what a practitioner can accomplish with them, as opposed to self-contained, huge, and complex so any idiot can (hopefully) use them. AI isn't merely about building complex tools, it's about *replacing* tools with *servants.*
