> Andy Jassy, the chief executive, wrote that generative A.I. was yielding big returns for companies that use it for “productivity and cost avoidance.” He said working faster was essential because competitors would gain ground if Amazon doesn’t give customers what they want “as quickly as possible” and cited coding as an activity where A.I. would “change the norms.”

Like what exactly is Amazon giving us here? I don't get it. Also, I want to see Andy Jassy start writing some codes or fixing issues/bugs for next 5-10 years and have those reviewed by anonymous engineers before I take any word from him. These marketers/sales sleezy dudes claim garbage about things they do not do or know how to do but media picks up everything they say. It is like my grandmother who never went to school starts telling me about how brain surgery is slow and needs productivity else more people will die and those doctors need to adapt. Shameless behavior of these marketing/sales idiots as well as the dark side of media has reached new extreme in this AI bubble.

Meanwhile, I can see from comments how a lot of HNers totally agree everything this salesy guy says as holy bible verse and my colleague is sending me freaked out texts about how he is planning to switch career as Amazon Super Boss is talking about vibe coding now but became calm after I told him, these dudes are mostly sales/MBA who never wrote code of fixed issues, same way our PO doesn't know the diff between var and const.

Jassy is one of the most anti-employee CEOs I've ever seen. Which is remarkable, considering who he is the successor of.

Why is this surprising? Isn't being anti-employee and being a psycho the most basic requirement for being a CEO of huge companies these days?
