Mastodon leadership denies internal LLM integration, citing employee shadow adoption

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Mastodon's leadership has stated that the company has not yet integrated any internal systems with large language models (LLMs).

    Ask whether any internal system depends on an LLM. Leadership says they have not built that yet. Their people have. Shadow adoption becomes shadow lock-in, and it skips the decision stage entirely. The only kind of lock-in nobody ever approved. # AI # Governance # ShadowIT # Vend…
