Some Amazon employees said they were still sceptical of AI tools’ utility for the bulk of their work given the risk of error. They added that the company had set a target for 80 per cent of developers to use AI for coding tasks at least once a week and was closely tracking adoption.

imo, all Amazon employees should do 100% of the work in ai. don't review it afterwards, just push it to live. if these companies want it so bad, literally give it to them. WHEN shit breaks, blame their tools. use AI to fix, rinse and repeat. let these companies kill themselves from the inside.

AI "safety experts": AI is so powerful, it'll turn into Hackerbot and take down websites on its own!

AI in real life: so crappy that developers who trust it will break their own websites with the code it makes

We got to give them due credit. They were spot on on the end result, but just missed on the cause leading to it lol

It's almost like ~~industry mouthpieces~~ safety experts want us to believe AI is super capable, when the real danger is it's super incapable...

Our product is so good, we mandate our employees to use it and watch them closely to make sure they do!

I know it's not the same company, but that sure is a far cry from:

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on Tuesday said that as much as 30% of the company’s code is now written by artificial intelligence.

Sounds like AI contracts aren't the only thing getting quietly scaled back.

The mouth-breathing AI-bros that present to our very large company are revolting. In our industry the accuracy of our software is literally life or death.

And the presenter is all “teehee look at how cool it sorta kinda made a shitty web app to look at cats on a map and it took 5 tries to make it display a pulldown in the correct order teehee”

Yea dude, your middle school project isn’t impressing anyone.

I wouldn’t be so angry if we weren’t actually giving them money.

We're all vibe coders on this blessed day.
