It's really amusing how bad Amazon is at writing and designing UI. For a company of their size and scope it's practically unforgivable. But they always get away with it.
Everyone I know who's worked at Amazon says Jeff Bezos has his hand in everything to the detriment of product design. I've heard multiple accounts of him seeing a WIP and asking for changes that compromise the product's MVP.

You say they "get away with it," but it makes more sense to conclude that UI design has a lot lower ROI than we assume it does as users.

At best, you can conclude that outdated product design doesn't always ruin a business (clearly). But you can't conclude the inverse (that investing in modern product design doesn't ever help a business).

Case in point: tell me, from the point of view of the user, how many steps it takes to deploy a NextJS/React ecosystem website with Vercel and with AWS, start to finish.

However, I don't think it's fair to say that this trade-off always wins out. Rather, they've carved out their own ecological niche and, for now, they're exploiting it well.

#49Thats a big thing for complience. All LLM-providers reserve the right to save (up to 30days) and inspect/check prompts for their own complience.
However, this means that company data is potentionally sotred out-of-cloud. This is already problematic, even more so when the storage location is outside the EU.

#50I wonder how fast it "glances" an entire 30 minute video and takes until the first returned token. Anyone wager a guess?
