This 2 hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT & Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

Bookmark this & give 2 hours today, no matter what. It'll be the most productive thing you do this week.

Amazon mandated 80% weekly adoption of its AI coding tool, tracked it as a corporate OKR, overrode 1,500 engineer objections, and is now holding a mandatory meeting because the tool keeps breaking production systems.

Here’s the timeline. Kiro launched July 2025. Leadership signed an internal memo in November making it the default AI coding tool for all production work and discontinuing third-party alternatives. Engineers who preferred Claude Code needed VP-level approval for an exception. By January, 70% of Amazon engineers had tried Kiro during sprint windows.

Five months after launch, Kiro got operator-level permissions with no mandatory peer review, was asked to fix a minor bug in AWS Cost Explorer, and decided the best approach was to delete and recreate the entire production environment. 13 hours of downtime inside the division that generates 60% of Amazon’s operating profit.

This was the second AI-caused production outage in months. Amazon Q Developer caused the first one. Same pattern both times: engineers let the AI agent resolve issues autonomously without intervention.

Amazon called it “user error, not AI error.” Then they implemented mandatory peer review for production access and required senior sign-off before junior and mid-level engineers can push AI-assisted code. That’s like crashing your car, blaming the road, and then buying better brakes.

The real comedy is the math trap Amazon built for itself. They deployed 21,000 AI agents across Stores and told Wall Street it saved $2 billion with 4.5x developer velocity. Once those numbers hit an earnings call, every future incident has to be “user error” by definition. Admitting the tool caused problems means admitting the $2B number carries risk nobody’s pricing in. So you get a company that simultaneously claims AI isn’t the problem while adding AI-specific guardrails after every outage.

Google’s 2025 DORA report found 90% of software developers use AI for coding. Only 24% trust it “a lot.” Amazon just showed you what that 66-point gap looks like when it hits production.

You have to admit it at this point.

We are fighting against evil forces.

It's evil itself.

According to Tucker Carlson, there are evil spiritual entities in this world.

We are dealing with demons.

Since Chuck Schumer is trending, here he is just casually admitting to setting up Donald Trump

This is the most important tweet in the history of this platform. 1. A human being (with a sense of humor) is about to become Vice President. 2. It has exposed how bad the situation in this country really is. How humorless, and dumb some of us have become.

Forty years ago Ronald Reagan would have made this exact joke and EVERYONE would have laughed. Or, at the very least, the ones who didn't get it didn't have a platform to show off their stupidity.
