TIME TRAVELER (@JuanCOli1) reportedHOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM THE OWNERS OF EVERYTHING THE BIG CLUB, AND YOU’RE NOT INVITED It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You're not even in the parking lot. You're outside holding the coat, paying the cover charge, and somehow financing the champagne inside. And here's how the club works. 1. THE OWNERS OF EVERYTHING WHO CLAIM TO OWN NOTHING Do you think Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon are fighting each other? That's adorable. Like watching three racehorses and forgetting someone owns the racetrack. At the top sit names like BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street, managing TRILLIONS—with a T. Not millions. Not billions. Trillions—the number where your calculator starts asking if you're feeling okay. Through investment funds, they hold enormous stakes across corporate America. And here's the beautiful part: much of the money isn't even theirs. IT'S YOURS! Your pension. Your 401(k). Your retirement savings. Millions of ordinary people pool their money, Wall Street invests it, corporations chase returns, and everybody celebrates—until your grocery bill starts requiring financing. You supplied the ammunition and somehow got charged admission to the gunfight. 2. THE CASINO DEALERS THE FED, CENTRAL BANKS & GOVERNMENTS Every casino needs dealers. Enter the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank. They don't need to physically print every dollar or euro. They influence something even better: THE PRICE OF MONEY. Move an interest rate a few points and suddenly mortgages sweat, businesses faint, markets celebrate, and your credit card starts behaving like a loan shark with a university degree. Then governments arrive with taxes, regulations, subsidies, antitrust laws, loopholes, exemptions, and 14,000 pages explaining why you filled out Box 7 incorrectly. They're the referees. Except the stadium is sponsored by the players. 3. THE CLUB’S SPOILED BRATS THE MULTIBILLIONAIRE DIVISION Now come the celebrities of capitalism. The multibillionaires. Their fortunes aren't giant rooms filled with hundred-dollar bills like Scrooge McDuck. They own stock. Their wealth flashes on a screen: $80 billion Monday, $76 billion Tuesday, $83 billion Wednesday. Imagine checking your bank account and discovering Bulgaria disappeared overnight. And how do they protect the empire? Perfectly respectable influence. Lobbying. Campaign donations. Foundations. Think tanks. Philanthropy. Never call it buying influence. That sounds vulgar. Call it “stakeholder engagement.” Beautiful phrase! Sounds like everybody gets a steak. You don't. 4. THE FINAL TRICK YOUR MONEY IS ALREADY INSIDE THE CLUB The modern giants share a remarkable formula: They built software, platforms, marketplaces, networks, and digital ecosystems. They don't merely sell you products anymore. They build the ROOM YOU LIVE IN. You communicate there. Shop there. Work there. Be warned there. Store your photographs there. Argue with strangers there at 2:17 in the morning. And the financial machine completes the circle. Your savings buy investment funds. The funds buy corporations. The corporations pursue profits from you. The profits increase valuations. The valuations enrich shareholders. The wealthy finance influence. Government writes another 900-page law. And you receive an email: “Important changes to our Terms of Service.” Nobody reads it. Not even God. WELCOME TO THE BIG CLUB That's the masterpiece. You don't need secret meetings in underground bunkers with twelve billionaires stroking white cats. The machinery is already sitting there in broad daylight. Money buys ownership. Ownership buys influence. Influence protects money. And ordinary people provide a remarkable amount of the capital that keeps the carousel spinning. It isn't personal. It's business. And business is absolutely fantastic… IF YOU'RE IN THE ******* CLUB.

Dad 2.0 - needs a nap (@DadaBaseThought) reported@BlacktyonteXavi Nefertari was the only one to realize they went too far. I can really go down a rabbit hole and state I think Amazon Lilly was founded by Lilly (pretty straight forward connection) and she did something to make the amazons produce only females as way of preventing Imus completion

Tony Cook (@BTonyCook) reported@stevebyrnelive I’d love to watch this but can’t find it on Amazon or Apple. I’m in Australia, is that the problem?

KD (@imkding) reportedCharged for a product I don't have, lied to by a delivery status, and cut off by the team meant to fix it. If this is how "escalation" works, don't advertise it as support — call it what it is. Fix my order or refund me. Done waiting. @amazon @JeffBezos 402-9119457-1555501

Joseph (@Perma_banned_me) reported@TonyHursh @realsashastone X, Google, and Amazon aren't the Internet. You just named some sites living on a server you send a request to using TCP/IP over the Internet. The Internet isn't defined by "things most people like". Before telling someone else they don't know what ******** they are talking about, you should learn something about what ******** you're talking about.

Barefoot Lipivore 🇺🇸🇮🇱 (@MLipivore) reported@HillelNeuer Listed below are fabricated claims by Albanese. If anyone should be sued for spreading blood libels, it's her. 1) Fabricated Casualty Statistics • The 680,000 Death Toll Claim: Albanese publicly claimed the real death toll in Gaza had reached 680,000. • The 380,000 Infant Claim: She claimed 380,000 of the dead were infants under age 5. • Mathematical Impossibility: Palestinian PCBS census data recorded only ~341,790 total children under 5 in Gaza before the war. The claim exceeds the total infant population. • Admission of Provocation: Following severe backlash over the numbers, she admitted the statement was intended to be "provocative" rather than accurate. 2) Unsubstantiated Economic & Corporate Accusations • "Economy of Genocide" Letters: Sent formal accusations to 48 international corporations, universities, and tech giants (Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, etc.). • Corporate Complicity Claims: Accused them of legally and financially sustaining an "economy of genocide." • Legal Errors & Rebuttal: Rejected by the US delegation for fundamental legal errors lacking basis in international law, leading to US financial sanctions and travel bans against her.

StockRadar UK (@RyanSmi96611937) reportedIf the shop looks broken, check Down For Everyone Or Just Me before you refresh-buy. This is Amazon history, not a used-item search. One start, then when to skip it. Open the page if you are about to click Buy Now.

The Outlaw (@TheOGOutlaw) reported@lisavsworld Traveling has become this Instagram nonsense activity. I'm more than happy to travel, just not to anywhere a woman wants to go. Give me an adventure in Kenya or a boat trip down the Amazon, not some overpriced **** resort in Tulum, or even worse stink *** Paris.

Courtnezzzy (@courtnezzzy) reported@Menners__ @joleenlunzer Joleen has credits on FOX, Hulu, & Amazon. She is paid to make jokes. Your biggest comedy credit, getting clowned on by your own friends for being under 5ft tall. The rent is due? Really? Are you sure your sandbox is big enough to invite Joleen to play in? Sit down, silly man.

Ilia M (@iliakonst7) reported$NVDA AI SERVER PRICES COULD JUMP 15%+ Nvidia customers are reportedly being told to expect price increases of more than 15% on many AI server systems scheduled to ship early next year, including Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell. According to Bloomberg, the size of the increase will depend on the chip generation and memory setup, with sharply higher DRAM prices from Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron adding significant cost pressure. Server manufacturers supplying major hyperscalers have already started informing customers about the increases. Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta are developing their own AI chips, but Nvidia remains a critical supplier for their massive data center expansions.

Darth Revan k95 (@DarthK95) reported@RyanActually1 The warehouse, then it can't deliver on time to every resellers, like Amazon, Gamestop, etc., then you're gonna asks then why do I still need to download a bunch of data anyways? Well it always comes down to either the developer/publishers to decide what to print on the discs...

╰⭐️ MATRON GENERAL BONNIE ⭐️╮〓〓 (@BonniedaWestie) reported@harryarthur84 @KingBobIIV @BritBoy95X I've lived here all me life and never heard anyone Cornish say 'bruv'. There's lots of undesirables sent down here from 'up country'. I used to think it was good we don't have CCTV all over the place in Cornwall so we at least had some privacy but it's needed now. Maybe if it's posted on the local FB page people with Ring door bells may have caught someone in that area wearing a white bandy anna. I got a rubber mallet from Amazon delivered just now, to use on some new lawn edging but think I'll keep it in me bag if I go out after dark in future. There's several parts of the anatomy it could do some real damage to and I wouldn't hesitate in using it.

Steve Saint (@Cygnusx_2112) reportedOmg @amazon drivers can't read English. Please I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. @amazon should hire people who can read and understand English. Freaking pathetic #dobetter

Brendan Boyle (@BrendanPBoyle) reportedBought a set of headphones on Amazon which arrived not working. I returned them in may, and have just had them returned by us customs due to non payment of customs duty (??). Amazon customer service have cut me off 3 times this afternoon after I attempted to sort the issue out.

Edwar (@Edward13T) reported@svocktigon @ariaradnia Did markets know something we don't when they sold google down to 150? Or microsft in the 340s? Or amazon in the 199s? Sometimes you gotta do the real research, not assume they know something or they don't. Realising that many prices action moves happem due to short term.

popper (@popperboosky) reported@Chicago_Goofies Lord Just think thats who comes to your house I had a weirdo insist i open my garage door. I had a screen on so i could talk. Im like just put the package down. I will get it. Nothing doing He kinda stepped inside my garage. No more amazon for a long while after that
-
Vik (@happilyvikE) reported@amazon service has gotten consistently worse. Package delays, customer service reps who are no longer allowed to pricier incentives or credit to resolve issues. They don’t care and we need an alternative.
-
Juan Cantu (@goukizx2) reported@Mattlinn01 I had a @setpowerusa AJ30 that worked until the handle broke and they wouldn’t honor the warranty because I got it on Amazon. Their customer service was terrible. So don’t buy one of theirs.

Komrade + Kommander (@KMNDR_) reported@NateLorenzen I don't want to be cynical but I think an Amazon data center going down for a few days maybe a week will probably shift the debate a little

Carolee (@natparksgal) reported@amazon My new Amazon Fire Stick 4K Plus just updated. THIS UPDATE IS HORRIBLE!!! From the Home screen, I now have to scroll down to the 12th row to get my recently used apps, past ridiculous recommendations. And my Settings page is blank. Enough motivation to change brands.

DeltaSignal (@AITrailblazerQ) reportedGoing deeper on The Inference Trap: Why the next phase of AI hardware is the silent takeover of custom Cloud ASICs. Nvidia GPUs are technological marvels. But for running LLM inference at scale, they are massively over-engineered. A general-purpose GPU contains die area dedicated to legacy graphics, complex thread scheduling, and high-precision math that LLMs simply do not use. Running LLM inference on an H100 is like driving a Bugatti to deliver pizzas. Here is how Big Tech is fixing this inefficiency-and destroying Nvidia's pricing power in the process: 1) The Rise of Middleware Compilers In the old days, software was compiled directly for CUDA. Today, AI frameworks use intermediate compilers: • OpenAI Triton • Google XLA • PyTorch 2.0 These compilers translate high-level model code into hardware instructions for ANY chip target. The developer writes Python; the compiler handles the silicon. 2) The ASIC Inefficiency Cure Because LLM inference is mostly a memory-bandwidth problem (fetching weights rapidly), Big Tech doesn't need universal GPUs. They build custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) like AWS Trainium2, Google TPU v6e, and Microsoft Maia: • Stripped of legacy GPU bloat • Optimized purely for transformer matrix math & HBM bandwidth • 40%–60% cheaper to produce 3) The Silent Cloud Routing Here is the killer dynamic: When you query an LLM via API (e.g., on Amazon Bedrock or Google Cloud), you have no idea what chip processed your request. AWS can take your prompt, run it on a Trainium chip instead of an Nvidia H100, return the exact same response in milliseconds, and pocket a 50% higher margin. 3) Margin Reclamation Nvidia currently enjoys ~75% gross margins selling GPUs to Big Tech. Hyperscalers are not going to hand over hundreds of billions in margin forever. By optimizing custom chips for inference workloads, Big Tech reclaims the value capture from Nvidia's balance sheet. The Bottom Line: Nvidia will continue to dominate frontier model training where raw compute density is king. But as AI shifts from training to inference, the software abstraction layer allows cloud giants to quietly replace expensive GPUs with cheap, hyper-efficient in-house ASICs. The developer won't notice. The API won't break. But Nvidia's moat will vanish. 🧠

Envidreamz (@envidreamz) reported@love_canute That’s exactly the situation. We have terrible air quality everywhere u go here. No idea why but it is. And we can’t open the doors or windows bc it’s 100 F every day. Or really humid. Or storming. I try to explain people I basically live in the Amazon rainforest. Not literally. But this is what the weather is like here
