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/
Who names this shit? I want to have a serious talk with their mother.
Amazon web services are incomprehensible. The names aren't good either

Simple Storage Service

boto3makes sense (once you know what it means)Probably inspired by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, or 3m for short
