Yep.

“But we already have dishwashers and washing machines”

No shit, but for some reason when I put my dirty clothes in the laundry basket they don’t show up folded in my drawers without me, ya know…doing the laundry.

I enjoy the feeling of the chore being done. You have to do the chore for it to be done, though. Kind of shitty but it is what it is.

That’s cool and all, but I still have to do my dishes and laundry before I have time to get to that.

I’ve been waiting for my AI butler since the first time I watched the Jetsons, instead I get AI slop.

You’re right, though. AWS has far more data centers/regions. Even if a company only uses AWS, they can set up High Availability/Disaster Recovery solutions that replicate across AWS regions.

But they won’t because:

• management doesn’t understand the technology, just “cloud good”.
• the experienced tech workers who do understand that you still need HADR in the cloud have all been laid off or retired.
• redundancy costs…wait for it…money.
