As Slayer points out, these are EXACTLY the people AI and vibe coding is advertised to. The people who know better are exactly the people that sort of person would like to stop paying and replace with the AI. These are exactly the people who would like to have an AI drive a truck loaded with explosives on a public highway so they don't have to pay a driver with a CDL.

"We quickly mitigated an attempt to exploit a known issue"

If the issue was known why didn't you mitigate it BEFOREHAND so this would not become an issue?

Trillion-dollar company and can't even be bothered to do basic fixes on known problems before rolling something out. What the fuck.

Nailed it in one. They're using people with no experience to train their software... so that it can make more mistakes?

Perhaps, but.a quick check of open contract positions requires a PhD or in a PhD program as a prerequisite; so it's not like they're getting some kid who just got an undergraduate degree where AI wrote all the papers. I suspect experts with years of experience would be too expensive; altoughretired ones might be enticed just as a side gig.

I would argue that healthcare would be a good candidate for a public option. Many factors confound market economics in health care.

But in addition, we really need to bring worker's rights into the 21st century.
