Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." Translation to human language: we gave AI to engineers and things keep breaking? The response for now? Junior and mid-level engineers can no longer push AI-assisted code without a senior signing off. AWS spent 13 hours recovering after its own AI coding tool, asked to make some changes, decided instead to delete and recreate the environment (the software equivalent of fixing a leaky tap by knocking down the wall). Amazon called that an "extremely limited event" (the affected tool served customers in mainland China).


An open source calculator firmware system has declared it will not be available in California due to their new “Operating System age verification” law. Seriously. “The DB48X project intends to rebuild and improve the user experience of the HP48 family of calculators.” From the developer: “As a consequence of recent legislative activity in California and Colorado. DB48x is probably an operating system under these laws. However, it does not, cannot and will not implement age verification.” github.com/c3d/db48x/tree…
