(I know its a satire, but could be seen as an actual post mortem of the future incident) This report made me realize there's no place for humans, as it is right now, in the process of building software systems in the future. Reading this incident made me dizzy after few paragraphs because of the cognitive context overload and I lost track multiple times.

I kinda felt it was satire, but then the below quote threw me off:

> one vendor’s marketing team, cc’d on the cost anomaly alert, issues a press release citing “a 430% YoY increase in adversarial multi-agent security reasoning.” The stock opens up 6%.

That happens! That is not satire. So i had to visit the comments here to be sure :)

Satire does usually have a degree of truth/realism.

You could have "visited" the satire tag at the top of the article.

You're absolutely right!

(In all seriousness it seems this is the dream of a huge number of AI pilled execs dreaming of infinite velocity at a fraction of the cost... velocity pointed where, you ask? Well stop asking or you'll be next.)

I mean, none of the software or processes in this hypothetical future actually worked. At a certain point, even the most normal of normal people will push back on shitty software when their bank deletes their account or their software controlled brakes fail...

Great satire. The comedy of errors along the way made me realize that this could have happened also with humans instead of bots. But now it’s faster.

It... really couldn't? Step 3 in this fictional chain would never happen with a HITL.

I honestly can't tell with comments like this whether folks have too much respect for AI, or to little respect for people...

What's "step 3"? I don't see step numbering anywhere?

Is... this comment also satire?

Doesn’t look like anything to me.

What? I'm genuinely asking what part of the incident response in the story the parent was referring to.

I can't be positive, but I believe they were referring to Day 3?
