They can buy Oxide Computer and become a truly back-to-1997 retro-futuristic cloud company. Hindsight is 20/20. In gradient descent optimization, sometimes it is important to take backwards steps to get out of the local optima. We're going to look at AWS/GCP/Azure with the way manner we currently look at IBM/Cisco/Oracle. I also have no idea what I am talking about.

Technology and society has ways to build up layers of abstraction. It takes some realization, hindsight, genius and humbleness to cut down the overgrowth and pick the fruits, plant new seeds.
