> Also, the bug buster benefits if they get up high on the leaderboard

There is literally another story on the front page [1] about such "leaderboards" and what happens when people game them to move up.

I would not advise anyone to participate in such a contest, it sounds more like a race to the bottom while providing valuable training data to AWS for free.

That has nothing to do with this though. The global leaderboard is for fixing bugs in your own company.
