Whenever I read about how powerful these companies are, it sends chills down my spine.

I’ve always thought “man it would have been a great job selling shovels and pickaxes during the gold rush” back in the day.” I know, I know, it’s really hard having these insights. We all have our crosses to bear. <giggling emoji>

Don’t know about catching up to AWS, but given the state of Azure, anyone with enough data center investment should be able to overtake it.

I pray for Google to completely fail the pivot to AI. We don't need another surveillance capitalism company using AI to make us even dumber and more addicted to screens. I so hope that Google goes down. (And I pray the same for Facebook and a couple others).
