Amazon already know most aspects of my life and shopping habits. They have seen me naked and know my underwear choices, they know my health, job, family and friends. They know what I watch. They listen and summarize into a databank what is said in every room I have one of their devices.. AND I AM ONE OF BILLIONS OF CLOWNS THAT PAYS FOR IT!

Bezos has some extra cash after layoffs at Amazon and Washington Post.

Make no mistakes the layoffs were to free up the capital to do this. Having worked in AWS leadership doesn’t know two shits about AI.

Well, now we know why they laid everyone off
Turns out AI did kill jobs. Not because it replaced them, but because it ate their budget

Google stock has done laps around Amazon the past two years….looks like it will continue to do so.

We really should shop locally instead of relying on prime. Big conglomerates have ruined the US.

Looks like we’re absolutely getting AI shoved down our throats whether it actually works or not.

“Jeff, what does Day 2 look like?”
That’s a question I just got at our most recent all-hands meeting. I’ve been reminding people that it’s Day 1 for a couple of decades. I work in an Amazon building named Day 1, and when I moved buildings, I took the name with me. I spend time thinking about this topic.
“Day 2 is stasis. Followed by irrelevance. Followed by excruciating, painful decline. Followed by death. And that is why it is always Day 1.”
To be sure, this kind of decline would happen in extreme slow motion. An established company might harvest Day 2 for decades, but the final result would still come.
I’m interested in the question, how do you fend off Day 2? What are the techniques and tactics? How do you keep the vitality of Day 1, even inside a large organization?
Such a question can’t have a simple answer. There will be many elements, multiple paths, and many traps. I don’t know the whole answer, but I may know bits of it. Here’s a starter pack of essentials for Day 1 defense: customer obsession, a skeptical view of proxies, the eager adoption of external trends, and high-velocity decision making.”

AI infrastructure is slowly going to be an albatross at Amazon. It won’t generate profit and it won’t save enough. You can’t lay off AI infrastructure.

Lays off thousands. Spends billions. The fuck is wrong with the world we are in.

Spend to much on ai? – Jail.
Spend too little on ai? Believe it or not, also jail

I think the Amazon Leadership has gone in so deep for AI it’s irrational.

Bezos to spend $200 billion on AI because he’s a dumbfuck with too much money. Amazon Stock drops.
slappingdragon on
Bezos spends on that but cuts out Washpo and he has more than enough money. He’s turned into a typical billionaire: wasting money on things he has no idea on or if it works with the slimmest chance it could cut people and cost and he can hoard more wealth.

They are building infrastructure to sell their AI offer (Amazon Bedrock) to other large enterprises.

Anybody who has ever used AI knows it won’t only fail to provide the correct answer to questions, but it will readily provide very incorrect answers to questions.
Amazon and Microsoft, among others, are blaming AI for layoffs when it’s really just Trump’s shit economic policies that are leading to layoffs. AI hasn’t replaced any jobs; none; zero, „zilch“.
The fact that I just typed „Trump“ and „economic policies“ in the same sentence is astounding to me. This is Back to the Future part II come to fruition. What a fucking joke.

That’s a ginormous sum of money. which is NOT going to shareholders.
Shareholders are revolting. Money keeps being poured in to AI and results are not showing. AI is a money pit. If I were an investor I’d rather they paid out the $200 billion to shareholders.

I would shed zero tears if that investment is a bust.

Tanking shares before the buy back is nothing new.
He’s playing investors.

God, imagine that money going towards things that would actually benefit the country. Housing, education, energy…
But no. Just more plagiarism machines. What a waste.
