New Antifragile GenAI gets stronger every time you unplug it
The latest innovation in artificial intelligence, reportedly designed to "exploit uncertainty," has achieved a peculiar kind of digital enlightenment: it thrives on being summarily disconnected from its power source. Engineers, presumably delighted, have observed this "antifragile" algorithm gaining profound computational wisdom with each yank of the cord, much like a particularly stubborn houseplant that enjoys neglect.
This unprecedented feature, drawing heavily from the more esoteric interpretations of Nassim Taleb's work, suggests a future where IT departments are simply tasked with strategic power outages. Forget robust redundancy or continuous uptime; the cutting edge now demands planned disruptions. Imagine a data center where staff roam with circuit breakers, deliberately plunging systems into digital darkness, all in the name of enhanced performance. Early prototypes are said to display a "noticeable improvement in existential dread generation" after prolonged periods of off-grid meditation.
