The public cloud market share evolution has shown that engineering dominance is nowhere near the key element to win large enterprises (for any business, not just cloud).

You can hire the smartest engineers in the world but if you don’t know how to talk to #CIOs, it’s useless.

So @awscloud has built momentum to announce a wave of #AI announcements as the centerpiece of their #reInvent keynote.

Applied AI (vs. AI as an eng feat for the sake of it) is something that only @Microsoft has been good at doing (and selling) so far. Reach your own conclusions

I’m personally excited about this specific #reInvent announcement. As my taste in art, music, food, etc. is very niche, existing crowdsourcing and personalisation engines have frustrated me for years.

Hopefully I can build something better with this. https://t.co/QB3QpBWhkX

This is a massive use case in large enterprises. Massive. #reInvent https://t.co/kixQaLZteh

I’m still asked every now and then by telcos and IT vendors about how to enter the public cloud market in the most competitive way.

My first comment is always the same: if you believe that public cloud is about IaaS (and size or speed of compute instances, etc.), you are DOA.

Case in point: the newly announced DeepRacer and DeepRacer League

Challenging @Google at their own game.

I said it for years now. But just in case, it’s not clear yet: @AWScloud never was about IaaS.

IaaS is just a low business value transitory step towards the ultimate goal of providing every possible application service for you to combine through your business logic.

For a long time I praised the value of #AI algorithm and model marketplaces. @algorithmia being a pioneer in the space. And now @awscloud is making this approach even more popular. #reInvent https://t.co/cmRLZ4rLrK

I already use Mechanical Turk to label objects for my #AI projects. This fully integrates the service into the workflow. And it allows private workers. Remarkable.

@hyounpark @awscloud @ajassy My preferred analogy is: the body is the infrastructure, the brain is the application platform. Building on what the DNA always provides, not “just” trying to change it.
