    I actually kind of believe them on this. Like, the last team they’d want to cut back on if they were gung hoe on AI would be web services. Like, most “AI” companies aren’t hosting their own services, they’re relying on a third party to do that.

    Admittedly AWS isn’t really built around providing what those companies need, being focused more on hosting websites (you know, a proven business model that actually makes profit) and less on massive racks of Nvidia GPUs to run probabilistic models.

    But still, that’s a fairly small cut relatively speaking compared to Microsoft and other’s recent announcements. So I’m tempted to believe that theses are actually just fairly normal cuts, as supposed to what Microsoft is doing; cutting to the bone to free up more cash to buy a few more Nvidia GPUs.
