Amazon's AI-Generated Code and AWS Outage
A major AWS outage on October 20 knocked out several cloud-dependent platforms for hours, affecting nearly half the internet. Services like Amazon Prime Video, Canva, and Perplexity AI faced downtime, frustrating millions of users worldwide.
Elon Musk responded to the outage by mocking a statement from the AWS CEO, which claimed that
75% of Amazon's production code is now AI-generated. Musk posted a sarcastic "You don't say" on X.
- Services affected by the outage included Amazon Prime Video, Canva, and Perplexity AI.
- Signal, an encrypted messaging app, was also impacted, according to its President Meredith Whittaker.
Musk had earlier expressed distrust in Signal due to its dependence on AWS servers.
