Broadly assessed as a credible institution, CNN reported on the AWS crash citing AI management issues and an ongoing transfer of management models — to favor automatic decision-making and a code-based, openly schizophrenic complex that says thing about the world that nobody can verify. Debates on what exactly is being created with LLMs are all over the internet, and when it’s about copyright, nobody cares; but when it’s about management, brace yourselves. That’s what apparently happened, but I would like a word.

Paraphrasing Scott Galloway, everything is a bubble now. But he goes on to say that 80% of recent market profits have been driven by AI — without which, it wouldn’t have been possible. But at the same time, the entire internet (or rather, the Leftist bubble, or lawmakers, at least, if not physicians) points out that we can’t just trust these sketchy, since we can’t really say “sloppy” here precisely because of mechanisms like AWS, opinions and deliberations from a motherfucking robot.

I want to remind everyone that conversation is the internet’s main purpose. The people who say that, instead, it’s all about making money, in case you haven’t noticed, have access to your conversations and have appropriated themselves actual decades ago from your every right to privacy, showcasing extreme levels of petulance by proposing that consent would be ensured by a click on a popup notice, and if not, it was “implied”, and they get so technical when you ask what they mean by that.

For a large swath of internet users, however (and one that is younger by the day), they’ve given up on conversation, and resort to other kinds of slop, if not consuming entire AI stories (which get more and more real) or even playing with filters, as the unanimously embraced platform Snap has made popular: they just search for the actual application (attention: adult content) of sloppy, which is the concept of doing things in a way that is not adherent to rules or concerned with how it looks or sounds like, but instead, just doing it — and I swear, this is not a Nike ad.

Again: if AWS is responsible for content moderation, then what must’ve happened for it to break down and affect worldwide structures? Imagine this: a crime somewhere in the world gets a lot of coverage, but the president of your country is busy solving a peacemaking deal. Meanwhile, the same country protests against this president, and it turns out that the crime was a fake news scandal, say, certain rumors about Brazil’s financial regulations.

I’ve seen on Instagram that the mayor of Chicago has declared that the US would be heading to a general strike in order to send a signal to the business class. It almost seems like the people at the bottom are shaking things up… but have they ever not done that? Who’s the one at the bottom: the couple having sex after meeting on Tinder or the financial analyst who works on training of AI for real conversation and ultimately a complete replacement of internet users to a point where nobody (all addicts of internet usage) knows who’s real and who’s not? A world where nobody trusts anyone, but somehow, traditional media still maintains its position, coming back solid in response to what went wrong with social media, teaching us all how it’s done?

Imagine the reaction of people if the internet covered extensively a certain event, and it didn’t even get a mention on TV. That’s an experience I can allude to and have my entire life as testimony, but apparently, what matters is the question with AWS. The datacenters. The inflated numbers. Some things change for good, and there’s no coming back. If I’ve had to learn that in my personal life, businesses will have to realize that I’m not alone. And fucking nod.
