An internal memo dispatched by senior execs at Red Hat suggests the software biz is starting to push AI tooling within its Global Engineering department. RHEL may be about to get some Windows 11-style “improvements.”
It carries the heading “Engineering that’s evolved and amplified for the AI era,” and for any AI skeptics in the developer teams at Red Hat, the tone of the email may raise alarm bells. The times are changing, it states.
Duh, it’s run by IBM. The most brain-rotted management suite on earth. All they do is chase the cool new hotness, and unfortunately it works for them – they’re mostly selling to other brain-rotted manager types. (The end users, as usual, get hosed.)
For some reason I thought IBM didn’t exist anymore lol. What a horrible day to find out they do.
They exited the PC market a while back. They still make enterprise stuff.
They own Red Hat and IIRC, it’s their fastest growing (if not largest) business unit.
It’s like they don’t understand the reason for this success is how different their road taken has been compared to all-in on AI companies.
IBM like Apple has been cautious about generative AI Not to say they don’t, their Granite models work great for personal machines.
Choice is always key, embedding it in the OS is a terrible idea.
