OpenAI and Amazon Ink $38B Cloud Computing Deal — or, Yet Another Tech Bromance That’ll Cost a Bloody Fortune

Well, strap in and hold onto your overpriced ergonomic chairs, because apparently, OpenAI and Amazon have decided to burn $38 billion on one big-ass cloud partnership. That’s right — Sam Altman and Jeff “I’m Still Going to Space” Bezos are shaking hands over a massive deal that basically means OpenAI is going to shove even more of its compute-hungry AI bullshit into Amazon Web Services. Because clearly, neither of them has enough money, servers, or PR back-patting already.

From what the article says, OpenAI’s planning to move a chunk of its model training and inferencing (that’s the AI equivalent of making the lights flash when you ask stupid questions) to AWS. In return, Amazon gets to boast that OpenAI trusts its cloud — which is like saying you trust your landlord after they’ve doubled your rent for the fifth bloody time. Oh, and of course, there’s talk of “synergies,” “long-term strategic cooperation,” and a bunch of other corporate fluff words that basically mean “we’ll charge people more for AI because we can.”

$38 billion. That’s not a “deal,” mate — that’s a declaration of financial warfare on common sense. It’s like watching two tech giants sniff each other’s stock tickers and giggle about who’s got the bigger data center. Expect this to trickle down into an “improved AI experience,” which is corporate for “we can now lose your data faster, and with more automation.”

Reminds me of when the IT department here decided to “migrate everything to the cloud” — and by “migrate,” I mean wipe half the data, misconfigure the rest, and blame “latency issues” for three weeks straight. It’s all sunshine and buzzwords until someone points out the storage bill. Then suddenly, the cloud becomes the dark pit of financial sorrow it was always destined to be.
