I haven’t tested this but TBH as someone who has run Linux at home for 25 years I love the idea of an always alert sysadmin keeping my machine maintained and configured to my specs. Keep my IDS up to date. And so on.
Two requirements:
1 Be an open source local model with no telemetry
2 Let me review proposed changes to my system and explain why they should be made
Like what do you need to keep configured? lol Linux is set it and forget it. I’ve had installs be fine from day one to year 7. It’s not like windows where Microsoft is constantly changing things and changing your settings. Like it takes minimum effort to keep a Linux server/system going after initial configuration.
You could use AI for self-healing network infrastructure, but in the context of what this tool would do, I’m struggling. You could monitor logs or IDS/IPS, but you’d really just be replacing a solution that already exists (SNMP). And yeah, SNMP isn’t going to be pattern matching, but your IDS would already be doing that. You don’t need your traffic pattern matching system pattern matched by AI.
Even if it was open source (it isn’t, because no model is really open source ultimately) and even if it let you review what it says it’s gonna do, AI is know for pulling all kinds of shit and lie about it.
Would you really trust your system to something that can do this? I wouldn’t…
I wouldn’t trust a Sales team member with database permissions, either. This is why we have access control in sysadmin. That AI had permission to operate as the user in Replit’s cloud environment. Not a separate restricted user, but as that user and without sandboxing. That should never happen. So, if I were managing that environment I would have to ask the question: is it the AI’s fault for breaking it or is it my fault for allowing the AI to break it?
AI is known for pulling all kinds of shit and lie about it.
So are interns. I don’t think you can hate the tool for it being misused, but you certainly can hate the user for allowing it.
