Amazon Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Adam Van Buskirk (@AHVanBuskirk) reportedOne reason I am big doubter on "resources running out" narratives is that there are vast tiers of efficiency that 1st world countries don't even bother with (or don't allow) simply because we are flush with energy. Most passenger traffic and much light freight could shift to e-bikes or trikes with an instant 10x reduction in net energy use, and industrial society would go on basically as normal. This is same dynamic applies to literally everything. For instance, A/C set at perhaps 80 or even 85 eliminates actual medical heat distress, a $15 jacket from amazon would allow heating thermostats to go from 75 to 55, etc. Society doesn't actually go suddenly from crew-cab pickups as daily transportation and houses in AZ kept at 62 all summer to "dying in the dark." There are endless step down levels IF energy actually becomes scarce at any point, which it never seems to do.

The Never Gets Old Podcast (@NeverGetsOldPod) reported@AmazonHelp Thanks. It works until I sign in. Then the book icons are bigger and the list is limited.

Steven (@StevBuilds) reportedAmazon just shut down Mechanical Turk after 21 years. The human-task marketplace that quietly trained the entire machine-learning era. The thing that helped build AI just got made obsolete by it. Feels symbolic.
-
James (@Darpinian) reportedI'm getting tired of Amazon package emails that don't say what's in the package, and "new message" emails that don't have the message (LinkedIn, MyHealth, etc). It seems like AI computer use agents could fix this now, has anyone tried?

MJdowntheshore (@MJdowntheshore) reportedHad an Amazon return that they directed to UPS. Got there and it cost me $4 for them to print out the return label for something broken when delivered. Doesn't @JeffBezos have enough damn money? Now I have to pay to return a broken item?
-
Allen (@Allen58028224) reported@thrashima Seeing if this works. For some kind of reason, my Amazon credit card and my cell phone have both been shut down. Feels like retaliation for something; doesn't seem like a coincidence. Weird because I'm hardly the most radical person out there.

Simon Blyth (@SimonCBlyth) reported@usembassyottawa @howardlutnick Lutnick is lying. The "French" issue is actually about the need to provide French media choices in Canada rather than being dominated by American English speaking content on Netflix and Amazon Prime. Barriers are necessary all over the world to protect minority language rights

SusanS (@susans4liberty) reported@12Noon27 I've been saying this for a few years now. I'm surprised how long they've hung on. Prices went way up and quality way down. I used to shop there all the time years ago. The only time I go now is to make an Amazon return and I don't even look around when I'm there.

TXKen (@ken_tx4598) reported@ThrillaRilla369 Amazon. Why should I get in the car, drive for 30 minutes, and stroll through 20 shops HOPING to find what I want, when I can sit down at my computer, do a quick Amazon search, and order EXACTLY what I want, and have it delivered the next day?

Varsha Utkarshni (@VUtkarshni) reported@amazon @amazonIN @AmazonHelp Now we the Indian people are the source for them to generate money and collecting data too and the very unfortunate thing is none of the Indian government is looking after such kinds of issues. So basically we are still not free from the slavage of such apps.

Michael Swain aka "Old Man" (Joy's version) (@Michael50706655) reported@TwitchSupport Several? Try the whole thing. Amazon tells me it's gonna be 24 hours for y'all to fix it. 24 hours. I'll bet kick isn't having any issues.

Furry Joker and 99 others (@FurryJokerTFF) reported@Beansthemoocow Yeah. Ps4 for sure got it. Found it on Amazon. They overhauled the nano abilities to correlate with modern controls which is nice but the aiming still feels like it was made with pc in mind before being ported. I also noticed weird culling issues with certain objects.

Psych0nautD (@Psych0nautD) reported@fishbulbsuplex Ill take being a “dumb loser” when i chose to make it a trip with a work friend instead of ordering on amazon in 08, over being a sad sack of a shitwhistle on twitter in 2026. Maybe take your peterbeaters off your keyboard, reach down and release some of that pent up patheticism

Michael Ramos (@backnotprop) reported@djpg2000 idk. Depends on the task. the claude tag and alike approach seem valid for when most integration is api driven. Stick an agent on any viable sandbox solution. For my own custom personal stuff & browser-driven, i like remote sessions to my own machines. It's been smooth. It doesn't feel weird to log into all my personal accounts on machines I own (sites don't block my IP / chrome fingerprints). People will argue that most folks don't want to manage their own machine. Which is true. But I'm not even sure my friends have much to even ask AI to do though. Shop for them on Amazon? Remind them of birthdays? We do need to figure out the remote browser thing for sure though. Agents need to live on their own machines. This will become a big enterprise problem/solution, not consumer in my opinion

Cheesed off chauffeur (@edin_chauffeur) reported@AmazonHelp This is not "an issue". It could've killed me. The product is dangerous. I will be reporting it to the BSI institute and trading standards.

NeoX5 (@NeoX5) reported@KevinBarnicus @DopeFrags @MrR4ger_ I mean it spiked with the Tether partnership and then tanked not too long after that. I wouldn’t doubt it happens again. Time will tell. They’re venturing down a road of bigger losses before they ever see the payoff over the next 6 years. Their content platform and their B2B Cloud/AI are really two different business ventures they’re trying to roll into one. Neither benefits the other at this stage. It would be like Amazon rolling AWS under Twitch. On the note of Wallet, that was rushed through because of Tether. Northern Data, again, Tether.

Cameron Alexander (@CamAlexander310) reported@shaunmmaguire Ten seconds of research is all anybody would need to do, to know this is 100% accurate. Data centers bring down utility costs across the board. Same exact thing happened when amazon was building out their fulfillment centers, the left tried the same thing. #AI

the Sports ON Tap (@thesportsontap) reportedIn 2017, Kevin Durant put $100,000 into a company almost nobody had heard of. A year or so later he put in another $150,000. Nvidia has now agreed to buy that company for $12.9 billion. Durant's return on a $250,000 bet is reportedly north of $60 million. Here's what actually happened. Hugging Face was founded in 2016. It started as a chatbot app for teenagers, then pivoted into something else entirely. It became what people call the GitHub of AI. A place where developers share, download and publish open source AI models and datasets. Today it hosts more than a million model repositories used by over 15,000 companies, with about 250 employees. When Durant got in, none of that existed yet. He joined the seed round in 2017, a $1.2 million raise, alongside Betaworks and SV Angel. Then he came back for the Series A. He wasn't doing it as a celebrity name on a cap table. He and his longtime business partner Rich Kleiman had founded Thirty Five Ventures that same year, named after the number he wore for most of his career. 35V has since invested in more than 100 early stage companies. Coinbase. Postmates. Robinhood. Whoop. Overtime. Their portfolio reads like an actual venture fund because it is one. Then Hugging Face got very big. By 2023 it raised $235 million at a $4.5 billion valuation, in a round that included Salesforce, Google, Amazon, IBM, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm and Nvidia. Last year Nvidia offered $500 million for a stake at a $7 billion valuation. Hugging Face turned it down. Their reason was that they didn't want a single dominant investor who could steer the company's decisions, since the whole value of the platform is that it stays neutral between chipmakers. This week Nvidia came back with $12.9 billion for the entire company. That's roughly 86 times Hugging Face's annual revenue, which sits around $150 million. And Kevin Durant is on the cap table from the $1.2 million seed round. The math on his stake, according to Joe Pompliano who broke the payday story, is that his $250,000 likely turned into more than $60 million. That's roughly a 24,000 percent return. Now here's the part worth sitting with. Kevin Durant is 37 years old and still one of the highest paid players in the NBA. According to that reporting, this single investment out-earned his entire basketball salary for the season. He made more from a check he wrote nine years ago than from playing basketball, which is the thing he is the second best in the world at doing. Two honest caveats, because this is still moving. Neither Nvidia nor Hugging Face has publicly confirmed the acquisition. No contract has been signed and the deal structure isn't known. And the $60 million figure is a sourced estimate, not a number Durant or 35V has confirmed. But the underlying facts are solid. He was in the seed round. He was in the Series A. The company is being acquired for nearly $13 billion. Most athletes who "invest" put their name on a tequila brand and collect a fee. In 2017, a 28 year old basketball player wrote a $100,000 check to a chatbot startup nobody had heard of and just left it there for nine years.

TheAsymmetricMind (@asymmetricmind) reportedNew cover. New price. The argument hasn’t changed: A $500 drone can force a $3 million response. That’s not a weapons problem. That’s the strategy. The cheap system doesn’t have to beat the expensive one. It only has to make the expensive one keep playing and paying. AI makes that cycle faster. Autonomy makes it scalable. And the human becomes the bottleneck. The only winning move is not to play the game your opponent designed for you.

Stephen Daniel (@Stephen_D86) reported@AmazonHelp I have already done that and that’s when agents like deepshitha comes along and refuses to escalate the issue to her manager and refuses to pass on the call. Please stop sending stupid links where the only option is to call or chat. I need someone higher sensible to call back

🇬🇧 FiveStar 🇬🇧 (@FiveStrGaming12) reported@AmazonHelp I can sign in fine but your AI has banned me from speaking in live chat or calling you. I had an issue where I had been passed about by 14 agents none of them doing their job and I appealed the ban 6 days ago. Still waiting on a reply

The damage inflicted on those military, economic & corporate assets will go down in history, Tech firms like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia & Intel.. destroyed.

Laura Gussin (@LGussin1017) reported@ThrillaRilla369 It began with Covid and the way the State of California shut everything down. I don't think they recovered from that. We also had a supply chain issue and it led people to order from Amazon and not box stores.
