One employee said their team is instructed to always try to sell AWS's coding assistant app, CodeWhisperer, even if the customer doesn't necessarily need it [....]
Amazon is also scrambling internally to brainstorm generative AI projects, and CEO Andy Jassy said in a recent call that "every one of our businesses" is working on something in the space. [...]
Late last month, one AWS staffer unleashed a rant about this in an internal Slack channel with more than 21,000 people, according to screenshots viewed by [Business Insider].
"All of the conversations from our leadership are around GenAI, all of the conferences are about GenAI, all of the trainings are about GenAI…it's too much," the employee wrote. "I'm starting to not even want to have conversations with customers about it because it's starting to become one big buzzword. Anyone have any ideas for how to combat this burn out or change my mindset?"

jmWriting about the new Internet nationalism, I talked about the ITU meeting in Dubai last fall, and the attempt of some countries to wrest control of the Internet from the US. That movement just got a huge PR boost. Now, when countries like Russia and Iran say the US is simply too untrustworthy to manage the Internet, no one will be able to argue. We can't fight for Internet freedom around the world, then turn around and destroy it back home. Even if we don't see the contradiction, the rest of the world does.]]>internet freedom cloud-computing amazon google hosting usa us-politics prism nsa surveillancehttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:b91a2889cc9b/Microsoft admits US government can access EU-based cloud data2013-06-10T11:16:26+00:00

jmQ: Can Microsoft guarantee that EU-stored data, held in EU based datacenters, will not leave the European Economic Area under any circumstances — even under a request by the Patriot Act?
A: Frazer explained that, as Microsoft is a U.S.-headquartered company, it has to comply with local laws (the United States, as well as any other location where one of its subsidiary companies is based). Though he said that "customers would be informed wherever possible," he could not provide a guarantee that they would be informed — if a gagging order, injunction or U.S. National Security Letter permits it. He said: "Microsoft cannot provide those guarantees. Neither can any other company." While it has been suspected for some time, this is the first time Microsoft, or any other company, has given this answer. Any data which is housed, stored or processed by a company, which is a U.S. based company or is wholly owned by a U.S. parent company, is vulnerable to interception and inspection by U.S. authorities.
