These were minor outages. Not excusing AI. Just saying
Except that AWS is (for better or for worse) a tier 1 network solutions provider, in part because of advertised uptime. Due to that, it is possible for a minor AWS outage to result in lack of 911 service in an area, for example. Hopefully they have the common sense to try out these new things on less critical nodes though.

If they don’t spread their infra across multiple availability zones, they deserve to die

they deserve to die

yeah but their customers sure fucking don’t deserve it.
