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.”
Or quit/find new jobs. I suspect that’s by design by Business Idiots.
*Get rid of the most expensive engineers and the cheaper ones can just use AI to make up the difference in output. And we can make the lower engineers the fall guy when convenient and replace them at our leisure *
The disdain bosses have for average people is astonishing.
