How many times are we going to have to read promos for this product?

I started maintaining uBlock filters to avoid being spammed by intrusive ads a for a service I neither need nor want.

I'm slightly irritated by AWS making the same errors Azure did on their portal. Keep your ads out of my tools.

Would be nice if TechCrunch applied some skepticism or talked to experts or potential users about this idea rather than just summarizing Amazon’s presentation. Some of the claims being made about what this could do are pretty ridiculous, and clearly overstatements of the actual functionality. It can summarize existing AWS docs—one of the only actual concrete examples in the article says that it could list EC2 instance types and their properties in response to a question about where to host an app. And it will certainly encourage its users to use more AWS services to solve their problems. But it’s not going to be “transformative”. It’s a way out of doing the real work to improve their own documentation.

My initial impression is wondering why they picked Q while the internet still remembers Qanon.

Because of the recent openai conspiracy maybe?

The first thought I had was of Q in Star Trek - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(Star_Trek)

Maybe it returns "drops" as answers.
