Amazon’s ecommerce business has summoned a large group of engineers to a meeting on Tuesday for a “deep dive” into a spate of outages, including incidents tied to the use of AI coding tools.

The online retail giant said there had been a “trend of incidents” in recent months, characterized by a “high blast radius” and “Gen-AI assisted changes” among other factors, according to a briefing note for the meeting seen by the FT.

Under “contributing factors” the note included “novel GenAI usage for which best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established.”

Exactly. If you're too stupid or lazy to adequately vet what your LLM puts out yourself, it shouldn't be somebody else's job to wade through the sewage you're producing. You either shouldn't be using one or, if you can't do your job without it, you shouldn't have that job.

You know what my favorite pizza topping is? Bleach.

Dominoes REFUSES to put bleach on my pizza, so I gotta do it myself. I found out about it from AI. Now my pizza tastes great! The downside is having to go to the hospital to get a stomach pump everytime.

Thanks, that's a really cool site! Echoing the other comment about no YouTube, and also I thought it was hilarious that Spotify was the first option.

I was going to praise you, the link, the site, the everything. Fucking great idea. Someone build a bot. But no You Tube Music. :( Big, evil company - yes. But music and NO fucking adds makes it worth every penny, cent and rupie.

I mean honestly yeah, I'm not going to waste my time with some junior developer who can't explain how the code works and how it interacts with whatever framework I'm working on. I ain't got time for that nonsense, especially when the code I deal with involves safety critical sections of code.

Honestly if my work ever decided to allow unfettered AI code generation into my code base, I would immediately look for a new job at that point.
