    It’s worth noting that the new CEO is one of few people at Amazon to have worked their way up from PM and sales to CEO.

    With that in mind, while it’s a hilariously stupid comment to make, he’s in the business of selling AWS and its role in AI. Take it with the same level of credibility as that crypto scammer you know telling you that Bitcoin is the future of banking.

      As a wage slave with no bitcoin or crypto, the technology has been hijacked by these types and could otherwise have been useful.

        I’m not entirely sold on the technology, especially since immutable ledgers have been around long before the blockchain, but also due to potential attack vectors and the natural push towards centralisation for many applications - but I’m just one man and if people find uses for it then good for them.
