    The word they meant to use is “carelessly”. We would also have accepted “inattentively”.

    My org has a policy of requesting us to use copilot as much as we can. Its also almost completely useless at my job, but its really good if i just write my functions and queries super sloppy and just get it to organize the text.

    Burning down an acre of rainforest and charging the company so i don’t have to press enter.

    If they went 860% over budget and spent 1.8 million dollars, they still intended to spend almost $190,000 on slop output from the plagiarism robot.

    I would hope that this would give the few sane people left at Amazon a bit of ammo to reduce reliance on AI, but this is Amazon we’re talking about.

      Nah I want them to go all in. Seems like the world where that happens is the one where Amazon is most likely to collapse or at least emerge in a diminished state, which would be great. Fuck Amazon.

    I just finished reading Starship Troopers and cooking bacon only brings one thing to mind. But on topic that isn’t a mistake.
