Too big to live, too loved to die: Big Tech's billion dollar curse of the free
If I have a bunch of Alexa enabled devices I&#x27;d be really wary.<p>Amazon usually does a decent job of continuing support. But by their own admission they have written off $10B and followed by massive layoffs predominantly in Alexa divisions. Alexa infrastructure is massive and it&#x27;ll be now put on life support. Mind you that even on life support the infrastructure is incurring massive costs with zero $$ revenue. Perhaps only critical security updates will be rolled out. So expect things to break around the edges, at first.<p>Maybe Amazon will rollout Alexa specific subscription? Otherwise I just don&#x27;t see how to justify the running costs.
