> Nobody has figured out how to make money from AI/ML

This is clearly not true. Google Ads? Every recommender system? Waymo self-driving? Uber routing algorithms?

If you swapped out ML for LLMs I would largely agree.

I do want to point out that I wrote this in 2019. It was a vastly different landscape, and AWS did a terrible job of promoting the ML value proposition.

I would love to see a retrospective on the AWS uncomfortable truths as a blog post and how they've held out over the past couple years.

2019 was a different time - though I suspect that your statement about making money (as in profit) rather than just revenue (reselling compute for less than you bought it) would hold true for most companies.

That’s an awesome idea. Let me get after it.

One of the debates I have with devops types is if OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) is a worse name than ICP (IBM Cloud Private).

And would this be admitting defeat to the powers of Terrible Orange Website to get you to write more?

As a side, in 2019 about a week after your tweets I was at a training session for Rancher which worked a reference to one of them into a joke.
