>Isn't it basically just centralized on AWS anyway?
No, I don't think so. Anyone can host a node in theory, but there's a bit of a process involved in actually becoming a node provider because they usually onboard more nodes as needed, so... waiting list kind of situation. I guess i should have posted this in the Original Post, but i'm a retard. forgibs. also forgibs for not link breaking those.

There are still some centralized aspects of it but i think it's basically just the Boundary node, which just directs you to the subnets that host whatever contract you're looking for. Their ultimate goal is to be a direct competitor of Amazon and Microsoft in terms of cloud, so it would be counter productive to use AWS servers... but I don't really know.
In terms of what to build on it, it's basically a shot at simplifying tech stacks by removing back end engineering. You don't need database because everything essentially exists in a pseudo-live-memory state. So entire apps just scale as network scales. There are still limitations to how much a single 'canister' can store though, but people are already running small LLMs on chain. The big shift with DFinity is all AI based because they are trying to create an AI that will write full stack apps and update them live. Leaked Demo linkrel
