Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

All autonomous is, is Oracle writing scripts to automate many of the processes. Most likely a daemon that runs some commands and based on certain conditions, takes an action. People have been doing this kind of automation for many years. It's nothing new. Oracle just decided to productize it and create some new buzzword to go along with it.

I am going to start working autonomously. Sounds easy, and I’ll make more money.

@104KaC0A-1wvc, completely agree.

It is just that Cloud that does not exist, autonomous that is not.... too much of a farce.

Everyone who is an industry "expert" apparently is dumb since they continue to believe the BS that Oracle spouts on every earnings call. You'd think these guys would hire a someone who understands the technology and could explain it to them before they endorse Oracle's shady practices.

Actually, the core functionality is the goody old database. The "autonomous" thing is a a bunch of open source. The DB works fine; the rest is c-ap and the product still doesn't work as exptected. Although, once the issues will be fixed, it will be a marvelous product.

The only reason we're even pushing this is because investors love anything that sounds like AI. It's all about the stock price, not about selling products or services. Who cares if it exists or not. Just having a bunch of "Autonomous" stuff in our portfolio helps keep our stock price up. What can I say, Wall Street is easily fooled, even if engineers aren't.

It isn’t that difficult to automate the application of a patch application. Shut the DB down, run the patch script, start it back up, done. Oh, it didn’t install cleanly? It doesn’t start up? Something unexpected in the app doesn’t work anymore? Oops. Perhaps it could then autonomously log a service request with support.

It’s a marketing feature.

Certainly monkey have plenty of Magic

Decades of innovation that is impossible to be put in a product but appears magically in the Cloud, all of a sudden.

Do they have any real customers? Last earnings call, they were boasting about the trial customer numbers

Thanks. Yes I do think people are that dumb. Even insiders at Oracle are unaware of how this is achieved. If it can be done "auto-magically" why can't it be sold as a product that is not maintained and managed by Oracle personnel. Oracle will tell you that customers are not able to provide a consistent and stable environment. This is like the Wizard of Oz - pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Can't tell you how we do it because of the "trade secrets".
