...in which Amazon tell us that outages were caused by unreviewed AI code...

oh yeah somebody said something about there being no doubt about productivity gains because 'they see them everyday'?

Well ok I'll accept your still anecdotal evidence but I would like to debit hours from those x1 engineers productivity gains and raise a credit for hours lost by every person affected by these outages. #AI

You know what’s likely to eventually happen with the “investigation” into the U.S. bombing of the girl’s school?

It will get blamed on Anthropic’s AI. #Iran #AI #Politics

"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, characterised 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”.

“Folks, as you likely know, the availability of the site and related infrastructure has not been good recently,” Dave Treadwell, a senior vice-president at the group, told employees in an email, also seen by the FT.
(...)
Junior and mid-level engineers will now require more senior engineers to sign off any AI-assisted changes, Treadwell added.
Amazon said the review of website availability was “part of normal business” and it aims for continual improvement.

“TWiST is our regular weekly operations meeting with a specific group of retail technology leaders and teams where we review operational performance across our store,” the company said.
Separately, the company’s cloud computing arm — Amazon Web Services — has suffered at least two incidents linked to the use of AI coding assistants, which the company has been actively rolling out to its staff.

AWS suffered a 13-hour interruption to a cost calculator used by customers in mid-December after engineers allowed the group’s Kiro AI coding tool to make certain changes, and the AI tool opted to “delete and recreate the environment”, the FT previously reported."

I'm sure we have all met a person like this:

People who have an AI habit use it by default. I have watched someone ask ChatGPT the weather for tomorrow rather than simply open the weather app. Another time, they asked AI the question even after I had shown them the website…

"That is the psychological warfare. They are selling you a solution to a problem they created. They want you to feel insecure. If you feel insecure, you pay the subscription. They are strip-mining your confidence to sell you back a synthetic version of it."

My ai resigned today citing due diligence and scrutiny as the reasons it quit.

It seems it refuses to work in an environment where its work is challenged with checks and balances.

Hey @inkwell do you support #Markdown? I couldn’t figure out if you supported it or not. I do love the idea of this platform for non-technical writers to get into the #Fediverse but what is your #AI stance? Users have the right to know if they will wake up one morning and all of a sudden, there’s an AI feature because someone requested it

人工知能は、まだ本当の意味で「読む」ことはできません。それはあなた自身も示唆している通り、ただの冷たいシリコンチップによる計算にすぎません。

しかし私たちの心は、ページの文字を追うたびに高鳴り、胸が締めつけられ、時には涙し、時には怒りに震えます。知らない世界に没入し、物語の中で生きる――その瞬間こそ、文字通り「読む」という体験なのです。

人工知能には心がありません。涙を流すことも、怒りを燃やすこともできません。感動や畏怖に胸を震わせることもできないのです。そして、それこそが、人間にしかできない読む喜びなのです。

"Last week Amodei, in explaining Anthropic’s position on Pentagon contracts, emphasized the company’s overall commitment to national security. He wrote, “I believe deeply in the existential importance of using AI to defend the United States and other democracies, and to defeat our autocratic adversaries.” If Amodei genuinely believes that the US military is devoted to addressing actual “existential” threats to the US, he’s too naive to be entrusted with anything as important as running a big AI company.

Obviously, this indictment applies about equally to OpenAI’s Sam Altman (who gladly swooped in and snatched the Pentagon largesse that Amodei will now be denied) and to Google’s Sundar Pichai and Demis Hassabis and to xAI’s Elon Musk. All the big AI companies are putting their tools at the disposal of the Pentagon to use as it sees fit.

All of these men, if pressed to justify this, would no doubt recite something about the importance of keeping America secure. Maybe somebody should ask them to name a recent US military intervention that had that effect."

The real danger of AI is *not* that it will become sentient and start a Terminator war.

The real danger is some foolish humans will put an unreliable machine in a key decision making role, and then a stupid decision will get made without any real human consideration about the consequences.
