on a separate note- If AI eats the SaaS, what will happen to AWS?

Umm.. more business. Because AI runs in cloud and consume even more resources.

This is performative bullshit pandering to the increased skepticism around AI. He wouldn't be saying that if AI investment was still in full swing.

I do agree with him about AI being a boon to juniors and pragmatic usage of AI is an improvement in productivity, but that's not news, it's been obvious since the very beginnings of LLMs.

So it's performative when the head of AWS says it and not news. But it's not performative when you say it and people should have listened to you in the comments?

It's performative when you talk whatever the market wants to hear rather than sticking to an opinion (no matter how flawed it is). This behavior reminds me of the cryptobros that were hailing NFTs/web3 as the next best thing since sliced bread, and when that didn't came to pass quietly moved onto the next grift (AI) with the same playbook.

(also I’m just talking out of my ass on a tech forum under a pseudonym instead of going to well-publicized interviews)
