AI-Generated Code and AWS Outage
Elon Musk criticized Amazon after a major AWS outage on October 20, which affected several cloud-dependent platforms for hours and temporarily brought nearly half the internet to a halt.
Services including Amazon Prime Video, Canva, Perplexity AI, and others that rely on Amazon Web Services experienced downtime, frustrating millions of users worldwide.
Musk posted a sarcastic "You don’t say" on X in response to a statement from the AWS CEO, claiming that 75% of Amazon’s production code is now AI-generated.
- Signal, the encrypted messaging app, which depends on AWS servers, was also impacted by the outage.
- Signal’s President Meredith Whittaker confirmed the platform's downtime on X.
Musk had earlier expressed distrust in Signal due to its dependence on AWS servers.
