'Sloppenheimer:' Amazon Employees Mock the Company's AI on Slack (404media.co) AI

404 Media reports that Amazon employees mock the company’s AI coding tool Kiro in an internal Slack meme channel, “slop” and “Sloppenheimer” jokes reflecting criticism of AI adoption and of a shut-down internal leaderboard that employees said they could game with “unnecessary tasks.” Amazon says the negative comments come from a few individuals but that most developers use Kiro and Amazon saw efficiency gains, while employees dispute that the leaderboard incentives led to real value.
