Amazon’s head of AI, who is leading Project Dawn (to replace staff with AI) has accidentally emailed everybody about staff leaving.. before they’ve been informed they have been fired. They’ve had to try to recall the messages and meetings. https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/amazon-bungles-wednesday-layoff-plan-with-misfired-internal-email-2026-01-28/?link_source=ta_bluesky_link&taid=69799a3082de260001e581cf&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky

@GossiTheDog What do you bet an #AI agent leaked the #ProjectDawn email?

@GossiTheDog

... is it safe to assume that they were using AI to "assist" with email?

@GossiTheDog Since when is Reuters paywalled?

And why, Reuters, would I make an account for a site that hits me with a Trump video that is difficult to turn off or close at the same time I get the "you can't read our shit without an account" popup. Jesus, have some fucking pride.

@GossiTheDog Can you imagine the reaction if they’d done this in France?

@GossiTheDog had a boss who had me yank a layoff email that went to employee prematurely. Problem solved there right?

Nah the dude liked to print emails too and printed this one. Accidentally sent the print job to her printer and didn't realize it.

OK, I have sent that email to all staff.

@GossiTheDog Ahhh... the "recall" function - or should otherwise be rebranded as the Streisand Button.
