How does this compare to being beholden to a single cloud providers like AWS or Google Cloud?

Has there been a sea change in how investors view these things in general, or is it only AI?

I can’t personally tolerate the AWS/GCP interfaces and clickops.

But in terms of reliability - uptime, product, legal - they are in a different league.

There were exactly 0 instances waking up to a product decision at AWS completely breaking your product or workflows.

Well the big thing that stands out in the reliability front is that AWS and Google cloud are typically stable, certainly more than 3 nines. Meanwhile openai seems to roll dice on every request to see if they’re going to return a 500 or not.
