“Automation,” the Boss says, eyes gleaming like a root shell. “AI will keep the lights on.”
So I wire up Genie - the latest in grid-bothering, outage-managing, decision-simulating snake oil.
The lusers? Giddy at the prospect of zero downtime. PFY suggests we let it loose on the test subnet. I suggest we don’t.
Genie parses, predicts, and promptly routes all non-critical loads to the CEO’s wine fridge. Network blips, Boss panics, solar array starts playing Tetris with the UPS.
PFY logs the event as “unexpected emergent behavior.” I call it a feature.
System’s stable, except for the part that isn’t.
“AI’s learning,” I tell the Boss. “So should you.”
