Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
Bezos’ new project promises to bring AI to industrial firms, because apparently, they didn’t have access to AI before. The initiative will “modernize” traditional industries, code for “we’ll try to make them slightly more efficient.” The project’s goal is to “improve efficiency” and “reduce costs,” which sounds like a familiar script. Bezos’ involvement is supposed to make this project exciting, but it feels like we’ve seen this movie before. Because what’s new is actually old, and we’re just rebranding it with AI.
