Tom's Hardware is reporting Amazon conducted meetings on recent 'high blast radius' incidents blamed on A.I. assisted code changes. globalGlob(**/*) can now confirm the A.I. assistant Alexa has been blamed as the cause of those problems after a git blame command was run.

His home address is..." And her response mysteriously ended there.
