Check out my Generative AI Update - Sep 7th https://t.co/l6EZEUWCCY

[Dan @Dan_Ochs]

@FredLambert Very curious how Tensor: https://t.co/wiw5ZPXTk8 will perform. Until Tesla certifies at Level 4 or more autonomy and takes on the liability of anything that happens while the car is driving itself, I don't consider it self driving.

@Tesla When will you have level 3 certified autonomy?

@MBTA_CR_Alerts @Bootsorflipflo1 Train stopping at Beverly, take the next one!

[Dan @Dan_Ochs]

@MBTA_CR_Alerts Train moving again at 'restricted speed' due to mechanical issue. (Not sure how that affects the timetables for the rest of the trip or how fast that speed is.)

[Dan @Dan_Ochs]

@MBTA_CR_Alerts Train stopped between Manchester and Beverly farms due to mechanical issue.

When we started AWS, we looked at the undesirable situation of developers spending 70% of their time on the undifferentiated muck of managing infrastructure (vs only 30% on what differentiated their customer experiences) and aimed to flip that equation on its head. It’s made a pretty big difference in innovation and developer productivity.

Roughly 18 years later, we’re trying to solve another 70-30-like misalignment for developers, where developers are telling us that they’re spending roughly 70% of their time on repetitive and tedious tasks and code.

Today, we’re launching the general availability of Amazon Q, the world’s most capable GenAI-powered assistant for accelerating software development and leveraging companies’ internal data—and that aims to remove much of the muck of repetitive and tedious coding and data tasks for developers and employees at large.

On the software development side, Q doesn’t just generate code, it also tests code, debugs coding conflicts, and transforms code from one form to another (today, developers can save months using Q to move from older versions of Java to newer, more secure and capable ones; in the near future, Q will help developers transform their .net code as well). Q Agents does multi-step planning and reasoning to allow developers to string together multiple requests and have Q implement them.

On the internal data side, most companies have voluminous troves of internally relevant data that resides in wikis, intranet pages, Salesforce, storage repositories like Amazon S3, and a bevy of other data stores and SaaS apps that are hard to access. It makes answering straightforward questions about company policies, products, business results, code, people, and many other topics hard and frustrating. Q makes this much simpler. You can point Q at all of your enterprise data repositories, and it’ll search all this data, summarize logically, analyze trends, and engage in dialog with customers about it.

We also introduced today a powerful new capability called Q Apps, which lets employees describe, in natural language, what apps they want to build on top of this internal data, and Q Apps will quickly generate that app. This is going to make it *so* much easier for internal teams to build useful apps from their own data.
Customers are gravitating to Q, and we already see companies like Brightcove, British Telecom, Datadog, GitLab, GoDaddy, National Australia Bank, NCS, Netsmart, Slalom, Smartsheet, Sun Life, Tata Consultancy Services, Toyota, and Wiz using Q. And, we’ve only been in beta til today.

Very excited about how Q will change what’s possible for our customers, and being a part of helping them innovate more quickly. https://t.co/Bcf7k7huOX

@Starlink please fix your support. My dish completely stopped working after being fine for a year. I just filled out a lot of support questions, took pictures etc, and now I can't contact support.

Definitely excited for the English Premier League to get started! ;) On a serious note, if you are reading this, pay attention to @brettboettcher1, he has helped me a lot this year.

Use these last few Sundays before football season to build momentum with your Sunday habits.

If you can use Sunday morning to wake up early, hydrate, work out, and eat a healthy breakfast, you're giving YOURSELF a win regardless of how your team performs.

@duolingo it's been fun going through French again!
