Oops broken "raise $175 million" link where it says: "But the manipulation succeeded. Cognition AI's recent valuation was $2 billion, which allowed it to raise $175 million one month after Series A."

I found another source, not sure if it's the intended one: https://www.maginative.com/article/cognition-ai-raises-175m-at-2b-valuation-one-month-after-series-a/

Thanks for the voice of sanity. I have blogged on a similar vein (https://assaph.substack.com/p/ai-wont-destroy-your-pm-career-or), but it's good to see your review of all reasons why AI companies are pushing it.

If only common sense would prevail!

Amazon's AI assistant, Amazon Q, has saved the company $260M and 4,500 developer-years of work by drastically cutting down software upgrade times.

Average app upgrade to Java 17 used to take 50 dev days. Now it takes just a few hours.

Andy Jassy also confirmed that devs shipped 79% of AI-generated code reviews without changes.
