If we can delegate incident response to automated LLMs too, sure, why not. Let the CEO have his way and pay the reputational price. When it doesn't work, we can revert our git repos to the day LLMs didn't write all the code.

I'm only being 90% facetious.

I agree with you and I'm being 0% facetious.

I think making stakeholders have to engage with these models is the most critical point for people having deadlines or expectations based on them.

Let Claude run incident response for a few weeks. I'll gladly pause pagerduty for myself.

The CEO doesn't care. He'll fail upwards. Be able to spin it as increasing shareholder value by cutting costs and bounce before the chickens come home to roost.
