    I hope this isn’t part of a larger trend of human labor being devalued because companies pretend it’s just machine labor. I hope that’s literally impossible.

      A lot of companies have been doing this for years. AWS literally sells this as a service: https://www.mturk.com/

            Yeah the whole AWS ecosystem has a super shitty naming. Everybody knows S3, but what kind of name is that? All the other services are no better

              Simple Storage Service

              E: I agree that their names are shit though. But S3 makes sense (once you know what it means). Just like boto3 makes sense (once you know what it means)

                Probably inspired by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, or 3m for short

              Still better than EC2 and the likes. Where is EC1? And what about 3?

          OracleMaker was too problematic.
