I'm torn, on one hand it feels like a useful application of LLMs and on the other I'm worried there's a non-obvious way it could really mess up. But that's an unfounded guess until proven.

EDIT: Oops, this is satire. Now I know how people who took The Onion at face value felt.

This page is satire right?

Yes, and rather nicely done I think. The tagline in the footer is "Give ChatGPT root in prod. What could possibly go wrong?"

Yeah that plus the claim of AGI in the Enterprise plan tipped me off. But you're right, I was momentarily convinced this was real and was about to very tactfully tell them they were destined for failure. :)

I am accepting investment in this idea should you be interested.

It is completely reasonable and defensible to belive that someone would make the claim and try to flog such a product.

> Automatically respond to production incidents with our industry-leading AI. Alvis will diagnose the problem and fix it.

I'm pretty sure my manager would be pretty pissed if they paged me and got this...

Not only that, in (some) fintec space, LLM/AI is banned because the corporation does not feel comfortable uploading source code to anything non-hosted other than GitHub (which doesn't make a ton of sense but...)

Is Alvis named after the character of the same name in Xenoblade Chronicles?

(Spoiler warning if you haven't played: the XC Alvis is also an AI.)

Author of the page: yes and you should play Future Redeemed to understand the finer points of this.

I'm still only halfway through the XC3 DLC >_< Thanks for the nudge, haha.

Trust me, you need to get to the radio cutscene. You'll understand why.

One of the “features” of the Enterprise plan is:

> Artificial General Intelligence

This may be a useful tool, but do we really need to do this?

I think it's a joke

Any time one is tempted to post sarcasm on the Internet, it's a good idea to re-read Poe's law[0] first.

i wonder if that "AI game dev team" from the recent Two Minute Papers video had an "incident response" agent
