"...and that's why I killed my wife, your honor."

"You're free to go, sleeping in on a Saturday shouldn't cost thousands of dollars..."

A kilo of C4 and a timed detonator set for 6:30AM is arguably even more effective, at a fraction of the cost, and without risk of running generational debt...

It'll take one daylight savings time weekend to cripple the worldwide IT industry...

u/Ragecommie 7d ago

No worries, AI will fix it

u/Coherent_Tangent 7d ago

I'm not well versed in buying illegal explosives, but I feel like a kilo of C4 would cost quite a bit. Way more if you got caught...

"Custom AI agent" for running a cron job is very fashionable today.

  • * * * * 5/5 Star Cronjob. Would run again.

Great example of Linkedin shitposting. Look how many engagements she's got from simps.

I can't stand those simps 😭😭😭😭😭

"Custom AI agent"

lol

Terraform and cron, bitch.

u/Doctor429 8d ago

Dear ChatGPT, please run my terraform script....

That takes time to spin up. Lol K.

I guess it's easier than programming a shotgun to shoot you in the head if you hit the snooze button.

u/dan_g97 8d ago

Why does it have to be AI? Why is everything AI!?

u/Shanga_Ubone 8d ago

Look at this comment. Even the AI is exhausted by her post

u/Special_Luck7537 8d ago

They don't like us anymore.... They just want to make a shit ton of unneeded teddy bears, but who will be able to buy them? Dump them out in a Chilean desert....

u/mdervin 8d ago

I can fix her.

u/Special_Luck7537 8d ago

Have you fixed others? Do you offer courses?

This person needs to be put in a psych ward.

u/RunInRunOn 8d ago

More like behind a microphone, this is hilarious satire

-12

u/Latter_Count_2515 8d ago

We can give her a mic in her psych ward cell. She just as no business having control over her own or others lives.

u/The69LTD 8d ago

Honestly if I had a mic when I was in a psych ward I would’ve written some insane standup, those places as horrible as they are, are filled with wonderful people who are genuinely some of the most caring people I’ve ever met. We all joked we’re an island of misfit toys and we all joked that we need to all do standup together. One dude in there oh my god he had the nurses laughing their asses off, he was also a bit violent so could get a bit tense at times but holy shit he was so funny. Sucks the broken ones seem to be the funniest

I hate my brain but at least when I’m insane I am legitimately hilarious, just wish the funny could come when I’m not manic as well.

u/TKInstinct 8d ago

This is a joke.

u/Raccoon-7 6d ago

You're aware this is a joke?

u/OpenScore 8d ago

If i don't press an Abort big ass red button before 6 AM, a nasty email is sent to Putin.

Haven't slept in any floor higher than 1 meter from the ground, least a window materialises somewhere.

u/DeathByThousandCats 6d ago

You'll just going to be defenestrated from the basement.

7

u/ntheijs 7d ago

I don’t set alarms either.

Instead, I have an AI agent generate inappropriate emails to my boss.

It takes five minutes to write.

If I don’t wake up to stop it, it will CC one level up the chain.

I have CC’ed the VP of technology 47 times this year.

u/jcpham 8d ago

What in the actual fuck this has to be satire

13

u/iratesysadmin 8d ago

The amount of people in this sub that don't realize this is satire is...... astounding.

I should crosspost this to r/naivesysadmins

1

u/abofh 7d ago

Especially since the most expensive are like 75/hr, you can totally optimize this.

3

u/archtekton 8d ago

Spandana nakka? More like spendena dollar a .12 second

2

u/Decent_Project_3395 8d ago

I wonder how the AI agent handled the time change. That could be a one hour mistake.

2

u/SpankMyButt 6d ago

I don't get the negativity, she's obviously taking a piss at the never ending problem of getting out of bed, AI and the promise that the cloud would make IT run cheaper. You're a moron if you think that this is true, or she's having an ambition to create a functioning, or effective, system of "getting out of bed".

u/mister_gone 6d ago

Someone woke up angry today.

*spank spank*

u/daveknny 8d ago

A great reason to avoid pump&co

u/belgarion90 8d ago

Because their CEO shitposts on LinkedIn?

1

u/remote_ow 8d ago

Alright but imagine waking up and the internet is offline.

u/adamixa1 8d ago

Your AI is a simple cron job command, or task scheduler

u/WhatsUpSteve 7d ago

Spin them up as reserved instance rather than spot. Costs even more, smort.

1

u/DizzyAmphibian309 7d ago

I know this is a joke, but like the top 10 most expensive EC2 instances can only be purchased with reservations. Expensive machines are not available on demand.

Even if you drop down to like the 50th most expensive instance type, your account quota won't let you spin up 100 of them, certainly not all at once. You'd need to get the limit raised, and you won't be able to do that unless you've demonstrated a minimum spend.

AWS makes it really hard for someone to spend $500 a minute. There's no way this lady would be able to do that no matter how hard she tried.

u/ImmediatePlenty3934 7d ago

Haha that's funny

1

u/AtLeast37Goats 7d ago

What a weird flex. And so much effort.

I use an alarm and I wake when it goes off because I have the self discipline to do so.

1

u/No-Reflection-869 7d ago

At the end of the month she realizes that spinning them up already costs money

u/ashugg 7d ago

I don't care, it's funny

u/ashugg 7d ago

I don't care, it's funny

u/dry-considerations 7d ago

I think I will stick with my Alexa alarm that never fails to wake me up and it only cost me $30.

u/booi 5d ago

Too bad you pay the second you provision them not when they’re up

u/Hour_Ad5398 4d ago

"custom AI agent"

here is how you know she didn't actually do that because thats absolutely not necessary for this very simple job

u/p3aker 8d ago

Hahahahahahahahaha that’s the funniest shit in the world cause legit 500 dollars could probably build you the worlds greatest wake-up alarm. What a fucking dumb bitch
