AWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data – $1.7 billion

URL already posted: https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status

I've got an estimated bill for $1.7 BILLION over this month. Normal usage is < $5.

Obvs have created an urgent AWS support ticket. Anyone else seeing something like this?

Update: Reddit link: https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/1uyuaw7/help_my_bill_s...

I just find it funny how people claim that LLMs will put money in the hands of domain experts. There’s not a single damn bullet about the fucking domain lol.

Wow, so true! Domain expertise is apparently not a requirement. At all. Wow.

Of course not, domain expertise is expensive no matter what the field is, and to the big companies like Amazon the whole point of GenAI is to get rid of those pesky expensive humans and replace them with cheaper humans.
