That was also one of the challenges during the offshoring craze in the 00s. The offshore teams did not have the power, or knowledge to push back on things and just built and built and built. Sounds very similar to AI right?

Probably going to have the same outcome.

The difference is that when AI exhibits behavior like that, you can refine the AI or add more AI layers to correct it. For example, you might create a supervisor AI that evaluates when more requirements are needed before continuing to build, and a code review AI that triggers refinements automatically.

Question is, how autonomous decision making works, nobody argues that llm can finish any sentence, but can it push a red button?

Of course it can push a red button. Trivially, with MCP.

Setting up a system to make decisions autonomous is technically easy. Ensuring that it makes the right decisions, though, is a far harder task.

So it can push _a_ red button, but not necessarily the _right_ red button

I tend to see today's AI Vibrators as the managers of the 00s and their army of offshore devs.

Did you actually mean to say AI Vibrators?

I'm guessing it is a derogatory pun, alluding to vibe coders.

Give it 3 months. There will be an AI Vibrator on the market, if there isn't one already.

I just found this MCP integration, but unfortunately I don't have a device I can test it on - https://github.com/ConAcademy/buttplug-mcp

You can fix that! I hear there's this new thing called online shopping
