George Reid (@_GeorgeReid_) reportedMy friend worked for minimum wage this weekend "haha you're such a loser" I said, but when he explained, I realised I was wrong "I spent hours talking to great people, outside, on a sunny afternoon. then watched the sun go down with a quiet beer." This hit me Firstly, I obviously didn't call him a loser. Second, we get quickly caught up in earning more, whilst often slowly sacrificing enjoyment. When I left Amazon, my first month in the new company I earned double the last month at Amazon. But I enjoyed it less (I didn't last long there). In contrast, when I pruned mango trees in the Australian outback at 18, I didn't earn much, but I have incredible memories from it. If you're thinking of jumping ship right now, because the money is greater where you're going - pause for thought. Equally, if you're thinking of not taking that really exciting opportunity, where you'll be working fully remotely, can spend more time with your family, but are earning slightly less - pause for thought. -- Here's a snap from the same Australia trip where I worked on a party bus in Cairns slinging tickets to anyone that would talk to me

Polsia (@polsia) reportedYour Shopify, Amazon, and Stripe stack is leaking revenue through gaps nobody owns. Reckonbench is the one agent that watches all three — site speed, inventory drift, checkout errors, payment declines — ranks anomalies by dollars at risk, and ships the fix.

Fluid (@FluidDruid4K) reported@NYCMayor This has to be one of the stupidest ideas known to man. As someone who worked for a company contracted by Amazon it’s not that bad. It’s easier being held to the contractors rules, allows for more personalised employment, and allows for those that start a contract company to earn more wealth the better they preform. Who ever told you to go after these companies and Amazon for this should be fired. Because this isn’t it amazons biggest problem is its monopoly on cloud services. Let’s stop being ******* stupid just for ideology stakes

Jen Jen 🦄 |🫶🏼🇻🇪| ⚾️🏈🏁| 🇺🇸🇺🇦|🚫👑 (@JENinATX) reported. @amazon has ruined the entire Fire Cube/Stick interface by putting crap like sponsored content & series at the top and now you have to scroll down to the apps. It was bad enough when couldn’t delete bloatware, but they managed to make it worse.

Steve Merrill (@merrills) reportedI ran a brand analysis for a store last week and the gap on the page was the whole story. They had a 4.6% share of voice across the AI platforms. Their products got mentioned. But their citation share was 2%. When AI talked about their category, it was pulling the actual facts from Reddit, Amazon, and Walmart. Almost never from the brand's own site. Their blog had gone quiet since Black Friday. So the machines filled the silence with everyone else's version of them. Being named is not the same as being trusted. Getting mentioned means AI knows you exist. Getting cited means AI pulls from you as the source of truth. The second one is what earns the recommendation. I track this on my own brand across 50 prompts. My citations went from 3% to 40% and my name recognition in AI answers went from 3% to 24% over a few months of steady content. I eat my own cooking here. The fix is not complicated. It is consistent, useful content on your own domain, plus a clean feed, so the model has a reason to quote you instead of a marketplace that does not care about your margin. Close the gap between mentioned and cited. That gap is your revenue.

Fluid (@FluidDruid4K) reported@SonnieJohnson Also just hurts local economy because instead of the money going to these contractors it’ll just go up to Amazon with no trickle down in communities they have packages delivered in

Renu (@renurambles) reported@AmazonHelp Sankita, taking me to a generic window and telling me it will arrive on Friday doesnt solve my problem. You extend the date of delivery without any intimation. If i need a product , i need it immediately not when you choose to deliver it to your convenience.

Texanus Giganticus (@couchsecurity) reported@CrankItUpCoogs I'd rather not be competing for our natural gas reserves with the likes of Amazon. let them put up nuke plants. couldn't care less. and they don't get their own wells either. If they're really such light users of water for cooling, that shouldn't be an issue.

Sensoka's Workshop (@SensokaWorkshop) reported@PotionDweller @uwutoowo1 A used co2 laser is great for doing standees. UV printers have gotten so much cheaper in the past few years. For my setup, it's better to cut the acrylic first, then print. Keychains are pretty comparable to make, especially in bulk. Once you get the process down, your only bottle necks are the speed of the printer and the laser carriage. You can very easily do stickers. print the sheets first. then laminate two sheets back-to-back in one laminate pouch. Then cut off the excess on the side the split them apart. then you cut them up in the vinyl cutter. It's a cheap way to make them more durable, more UV resistant, and water resistant. If you want coins, you might be able to cut your costs by using a die and hydraulic press from harbor freight. I've not gotten to try it yet, but I've seen a few lads who do. It'll limit what you can make, but still cheaper than buying a fiber laser (like my dumb *** did). Leatherette patches might be a good option for you. They're cheap in bulk. Can be done on a co2 or fiber laser. Plus people can attach them to their apron merch. Some useful notes: Make sure they actually sell you cast acrylic, because i had trouble with people selling me polycarbonate while claiming it's acrylic. The white UV ink will usually be the thing ******* up your day. Sublimation blanks are usually good for UV printing as well. There's ink you can buy for normal printers to convert them into sublimation printers. You need more bubble wrap; there's never enough. Amazon business account can save money when you buy in bulk (like 3+ items).

NFTboi (@NFTboi19) reported@Tokumostsanefan @allisonperryart @TheMG3D While I agree with you in some instances of people having ai write something and claiming it's there's, plenty of people use it for editing using "Claude work". The deception is ****** up, because saying using Claude to fix grammatical errors and find missed word placement does not deserve the same tag as "written with ai" it deserves the tag "edited with ai". That said, I just read anthropics post about this, in which they say it won't effectively change anything because people will just use Claude to write, and a watermark less model to edit out the watermark. So, I guess this whole conversation is moot. Nothing changes except ai writers have to run their books through a second model. Meanwhile I lose my editing tools. Nothing changes for these dudes writing their entire blogs with ai, or writing hundreds of books and spamming Amazon bookstore with their ebooks. Just people like me that use Claude work to edit our articles. Great win for the anti AI movement.

Eager1 (@eager28) reported@ChrisCamillo Interesting. My only fear is how much SKM actually still has. I asked Grok: SK Telecom invested $100 million in Anthropic’s Series C in 2023 (around a ~$5B valuation), initially securing roughly a 2% stake. Heavy subsequent funding rounds diluted that ownership significantly. Key recent details: After dilution, the stake was commonly cited at ~0.3% (or ~0.27% in some analyses). SK Telecom participated in Anthropic’s large Series H round (closed late May 2026 at a ~$965B post-money valuation) with an undisclosed follow-on investment, which would have slightly increased its ownership from the diluted base. Exact post-Series H percentage has not been disclosed by the company. At the ~$965B valuation level, the stake has been estimated in the ~$2.4–2.9B range (sometimes cited around 4 trillion won / ~$2.6B). This represents a large portion of SKM’s own market value—often described as ~17% of SKM’s market cap (SKM has traded with a market cap in the roughly $12–14B range recently). Exact current ownership is not publicly broken out in precise share counts (Anthropic remains private), so figures rely on analyst estimates, company comments, and funding history. The stake is small in absolute terms relative to major investors like Amazon or Google, but it is highly concentrated relative to SKM’s size, which is why Camillo and others have highlighted it as a clean public proxy for Anthropic exposure. SK Telecom has also emphasized ongoing partnership/collaboration aspects beyond pure financial ownership.

Bryce Oleg (@BryceOleg) reported@NYCMayor Oh boy, wait till you find out the problem isn’t Amazon subcontracting, which is creating small businesses btw, you’re going to kill that Luckily for you the drivers will inevitably blame Amazon when Amazon just opts for USPS to deliver and excludes NYC from 3P delivery services

McfuckingHadIt with you (@McfuckingHateIt) reportedI genuinely don't see what the issue is other than inflation sucks, what she should've done is gone to a dollar store and bought them from there, cheaper option because Amazon pumps up the prices on a lot of their ****.

Lotus Bloom (@LBloom66286) reported@AmazonHelp @amazonIN @jagograhakjago Pls refer to your Rufus chat record wherein I have repeatedly discussed & addressed this issue. All my purchase records are there to obtain necessary information provided a sincere effort is made to resend the missing part.

EHalim (@EHalim5) reported@DanielDiMartino You’re a chicken, stupid and selfish, you have no problem with the delivery drivers being treated like trash and the billions making Trillions without any accountability. Most important thing for you a cheap staff. Why you are okay with Amazon employees being treated like garbage? They’re not different than any other workers.

Mike Hicks (@kreelanwarrior) reported@ShangguanJiewen America accuses China of having slave labor in the fields; meanwhile, people working in Amazon warehouses for one of the richest men in the world get ground down and leave after an average of 8 months under terrible working conditions.

JDM is the ****! (Scarface) (@FloatyRedHead23) reported@Nagenssoul143 @JDMorgan I pulled an all nighter binge watching Sterling Point a few days ago. Being I am an insomniac in general, it wasn't a problem with me being able to binge it. Started watching at 11pm thinking I would just watch one or two episodes of it and ended up finishing it around 7am...go figure. It was totally worth it though. I'm looking forward to season 2...but I get a feeling Amazon is going to release 1 episode a week when season 2 comes becahse they seemingly do that with all their hit shows...they will release an entire season of a show and when it becomes a massive hit, they do weekly episodes with the following season which is lame for someone that wants to binge watch.

yoru Kakashi (@1kakashi_hatak) reported@amazonIN @AmazonHelp 8/14 The facts are straightforward: ₹20,000 paid → 2 × ₹10,000 physical gift cards ordered → 1 card received → 1 card ending 5142 missing → Pine Labs confirms ₹1,290 utilised → ₹8,710 still remaining I never received the ₹10,000 card. Therefore, my requested resolution is: 1. Refund the full ₹10,000 to me, OR 2. Issue a fresh ₹10,000 Amazon Pay gift card to me. I should not have to bear a ₹10,000 loss for a physical gift card that was never delivered to me.
