But especially that Microsoft blocked the work email of the ICC lead prosecutor for political reasons, that has all alarm bells ringing.
Where does this weird expectation come from that you can basically achieve your goals in a 2 week air campaign?
If the US wanted to they could probably do a lot of damage but, as you can see in Ukraine, taking over a country is a whole different thing. Unless you're willing to go in with the army and are willing to lose a LOT of people. And even then it'll take months or years for a single country
From every US administration that’s started a war since about 1945.
And we give em a couple decades to catch up.
....before being nuked for messing with the capital...
Sounds like a great idea!
Remember, part of the reason the war in Iran is going so poorly is because it has abysmal approval ratings among the US populace across the board, and wasn't even approved by Congress. (turns out, most people have middle-east fatigue and don't want to die for Israel.)
If another country actually tried to invade us, essentially the first time in a century we would be fighting a war to defend ourselves instead of one where we're going on the offensive, you would see the approval for a counter-attack be through the roof.
Sure, LLMs help a bit with the actual typing, but the hard part is still planning, alignment and actual execution, all which are best done by humans talking and working with other humans.
I don't think we're in the days of "Hey Codex migrate our AWS stack 100% to Hetzner VPS stat" yet, without issues along the way. Wouldn't claim it's impossible either, but again the easy parts were already easy, and the hard parts are still hard.
It is, but it's really hard to make the right trade-offs. Usually I'd start by basically making a list of what could potentially be done to make it easier, check lightly how hard each one of those will be, then sit down with stakeholders and figure out the balance between how fast they want to move, and how risky they want the migration to be. Some opts for less safeguards and moving sooner, others for absolutely less risk but it takes the time it takes.
What used to be a half year transition project that will be half-assed due to resource constraints, can now be properly done in a month by a skilled engineering team works on it with LLM leverage.
Of course, if America was still a trusted ally (like if Harris was president), we still wouldn't be doing it. Even if it was easy now.
It is a manifestation of the commoditization of Cloud Computing Interfaces.
Every provider offers a blob storage, kubernetes clusters, queues and what not.
I'd argue that covers 90% of SaaS needs.
