Most people I talk to don't know AWS has a managed blockchain product, quantum computing service, or an analytics suite for financial analysts and traders.
They seem to have their fingers in every pie, and people don't seem to really notice or care until it's already big or too late.
Some of those are just 'us too!' offerings rather than serious attempts. Like wtf would anyone use a managed blockchain for anyway?
But yeah Amazon are big and dangerous in general, both to commerce and society, I'll give you that.
Twenty years ago I trusted them above any other online retailer, those were the days when people still felt iffy about typing their card details into a web page. But these days Amazon is full of bullshit 5-star reviews for cookie cutter chinese consumer tech, twelve different manufacturer names and the items are variations of the same two or three models, probably from the same factory ... and then it arrives and is crap quality and badly translated instructions. And all the dark patterns to try and trick me to sign up to goddam prime. Had enough of this predatory bs.
