Interesting piece but also misses one major point: Its always more expensive to create than maintain and vendor lock-in and high switching cost make it difficult to change and easy to pass along cost increases.

Basically, for AWS to double its income, it doesn’t need to double its customer base, it may need to raise fees a bit, bring on some new clients, but mostly let its customer base expand and use more resources including simple having more data - more rows in databases - and more backups. They don’t have to build anything new in AWS to do that, but when they do add new AWS products they’ll move some revenue around (think companies moving from EC2 to a dedicated managed database) and they’ll extract more revenue from the same customers. AI may accelerated this, but given its generally output, I think the whole push to use AI is just dog fooding trying to get fools to buy another product and locking themselves further into the ecosystem.

We really need a law that says any device you own cannot show you ads and any “recommendations” or promotions stuff from the company itself must be one setting to disable. And it cannot be tied to maintaining an active subscription or anything else they may think up.

If you pay money for a device, in itself it can’t show you ads. Services and apps you install, may.

so let’s make a list of “people” she covers for:

• Pedophiles
• Terrorists
• Violent insurrectists
• Illegal gun owners

Am I missing anyone?
