The chat muxing issue wasn't great, but it was an understandable software error that any professional software engineer could have made. The AI alignment challenge is much more pertinent and under-attended.

Not really, no. I never heard, seen or experienced such an issue in any work environment. I did see it happen among wordpress level websites tho.

It’s stupidly common with “distributed micro services systems” that do a lot of caching.

Last year Klarna logged people in into other accounts because of some stupid caching issue too.

I don't to digress too much but I strongly belive y'all need to review your approach to caching. This kind of stuff is literarly unheard of among competent engineers. No insult meant, but this is hilarious.
