AI is definitely different. Cloud compute is incredibly convenient to the point where even if AWS is more expensive it's just so _nice_. LLM models are much more abstract and while I can't easily swap AWS for Hetzner to save 80% of my costs I can absolutely get close to that for many of LLM tasks, even today.

I suspect Anthropic and gang all know that that's why they are buying up dev tools and shifting towards long-running agents because that's where they can get AWS's "nicesness" that they can charge for.
