Can you support this claim with some evidence? Not just about the redundancies, but I’m also particularly interested in hard data showing Claude is capable of doing that kind of research with near 100% verifiable accuracy and migrations with no data loss and equivalent functionality (which is required to sustain your claim).

I can't imagine this is very prevalent. That's a very 2004-style corporate immaturity; I get the sense that even the slow-moving behemoths of the software world have mostly caught up to, say ... 2017's recognition of the importance of automation and reproducibility and won't tolerate the kind of malpractice you describe--wilful information siloing by infrastructure teams.

Like, those businesses might well suck at automation! But they've been doing it and firing the people who resist it for a long while now.

Epic. Can't wait for those humans to be rehired after you find out that letting Claude perform 1000s of migrations autonomously is a bad idea

What about the 80% of teams? Are there enough trenches to dig in the country for them to make a living?

Only downsized? I would expect them to cease to exist entirely in the coming years, as western companies begin to realize that AI is cheaper and more competent than the Indian firms they usually outsource work to.

And when it goes wrong, production is down, until they can get a real devops to look at what shit the AI-only guys did wrong. Haha, no serious shop would act like that, but then again most shops are not serious, now are they? So you might have a point.

You forgot "make no mistakes" and "don't hallucinate" and "don't delete any important files" as well, those are important.

I found that, without that, Claude makes too many critical mistakes.

Maybe something like this?

AI agent calls a human on their phone (even engage in an email chain), whilst talking to the human they analyse the likelyhood of diffferent fraud vectors, and choose the most likely one to work on this particular victim. Whilst keeping the human talking in chit chat to raise their confidence levels, in the background it buys a domain which fits the users fraud profile, and quickly makes a basic website on it. Maybe its a fake login page, maybe it just hosts malware, who knows at this point. The agent then emails the user from a mailbox on the new domain which directs the user to the new domain and commits the fraud. The email from the domain ties up with what the agent is saying on the phone, so it all looks legit to the human. Immediately after the call it deletes the website, directs the new domains dns to blackhole and discards it from its posession.

This is all possible right now. I am also interested to see what is built with this technology in the future, but interested in a very worried way.

Well, let me guess... even more bots and new agentic spammers and scammers?
