    Ars Technica reported that Amazon employees are "tokenmaxxing" - padding AI usage numbers because management tracks token consumption. Most of the conversation focuses on the bad metrics. But the metrics are a symptom. The real question: why are engineers not finding enough value in the AI tools to use them voluntarily? Fix the tool, and the metric problem solves itself.

    @Aaronbuilds_ I love Amazon, but it takes 5 or 6 days to get down here. That doesn't help when you need it quick. The local Best Buy doesn't keep much in stock either.

    $TTD was a $100+ stock 18 months ago, lost ~78% on the Kokai rollout missteps + Amazon DSP competitive pressure. The non-obvious read: this isn't just a TTD setup, it's a broader adtech mean-reversion signal. If TTD bottoms here, watch $PUBM, $MGNI, $APPS, $ROKU for second-derivative bids. The whole adtech "we're permanently broken" narrative gets challenged. Risk to the setup: if Q2 guidance disappoints again (Kokai conversion slow, Amazon DSP wins material new client), $22 doesn't hold and the divergence fails. Stop discipline is the trade.

    Do you know about $BTC and the Silk Road story? Silk Road was an early darkweb marketplace that ran on Bitcoin when almost nobody took $BTC seriously. It was like an underground Amazon, but everything was paid in Bitcoin because normal banking couldn’t touch it. When authorities shut it down, they didn’t just close a website, they seized massive amounts of $BTC from wallets tied to it. Funniest part is that those coins didn’t disappear, they were moved into government-controlled addresses. And that’s where it gets interesting. For years, the U.S. government quietly held some of the biggest $BTC wallets in existence. Then, instead of holding and profiting largely from the $BTC pump, they started auctioning it off in batches to private buyers. Some of those early auction buyers later watched their $BTC multiply in value many times over. Fun Fact: Some could be the whales we see today.

    @AWSSupport @imTkorde I do not trust you. What exactly is your “special unit”? Is it some kind of global intelligence agency? Why are the server company and Amazon not kept separate? You want my case number? Go ask Jeff Bezos and Andy Jassy. Ask your special unit as well.

    @catgirlprostate Around 1250 packages an hour is slow as **** anyway. This is a position at Amazon and if you aren't making a minimum rate of 1500, you can get in trouble. I see people get upwards of 2500/hr.

    @RepNancyMace Grok: Yes, tech companies (like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, etc.) do directly pay for the massive amounts of electricity their data centers actually consume—they buy power from the utility (or through long-term contracts) and cover the kilowatt-hours (kWh) used to run servers, cooling systems, and everything else. However, the electricity bills for everyone else (residential customers and small businesses) are still rising in many places because of two main hidden costs that aren’t fully covered by the data centers themselves: 1. Huge grid infrastructure upgrades (the real driver of rate hikes) Data centers don’t just plug into the existing power lines like a big factory might. A single hyperscale AI data center can demand as much electricity as tens or hundreds of thousands of homes, often requiring: •New high-voltage transmission lines •Substations and transformers •Upgrades to the distribution network Utilities (which are often regulated monopolies) have a legal “obligation to serve” any customer in their territory that requests power. They must build this stuff in advance to keep the grid reliable. These are enormous upfront capital costs—billions of dollars in some cases. Under the traditional utility business model (approved by state regulators/public utility commissions), these costs are spread across all ratepayers via higher monthly bills. Residential customers end up subsidizing a big chunk of the infrastructure even if their own electricity use hasn’t increased. Real-world examples: •In Virginia (“Data Center Alley”), Dominion Energy has said residential customers will pay roughly half the cost of new power plants and grid upgrades for data centers—despite residential demand being flat. Average bills are projected to more than double over 15 years, largely due to data centers.210 •Similar stories in parts of the PJM grid (covering 13 states including VA, MD, OH, etc.), where data-center-driven demand has led to rate increase requests totaling tens of billions. 2. Wholesale market price spikes from surging demand Even the energy itself (not just the wires) gets more expensive when demand surges faster than new power plants can come online: •Data centers have driven wholesale electricity prices up dramatically in some regions (as much as 267% higher near data center clusters over the past five years). •Utilities pass these higher “locational marginal prices” (LMP) on to customers in their rates. Data centers sometimes negotiate special lower rates or incentives to locate in an area, which can shift even more of the burden onto everyone else.8 Why this is happening now (and why South Carolina is acting) The AI boom has accelerated data center growth far beyond what grids were planned for. Utilities requested double the rate hikes in early 2025 compared to 2024 to cover it. This is exactly the issue Rep. Nancy Mace highlighted in her moratorium proposal: without new rules, South Carolina families and small businesses would subsidize Big Tech’s power needs through higher bills. ********* (Florida already passed similar requirements forcing data centers to cover their full infrastructure costs with zero cost-shifting to residents.) ********* Some states (like Ohio and Virginia recently) are starting to create separate rate classes or rules so data centers pay more of their own grid upgrade costs upfront. Tech companies have also made voluntary pledges to “pay their fair share,” but regulators ultimately decide how costs get allocated. Bottom line: Tech companies pay for the power they use, but the system-wide costs of getting that power to them reliably (new wires, plants, etc.) have historically been socialized to all customers. That’s why bills are rising even though the data centers are paying their electric meters. The moratorium and similar policies aim to change that so residents don’t foot the bill for private infrastructure.

    One thing many KDP beginners don’t realize Your backend keywords quietly affect how Amazon understands and positions your book. It’s not about stuffing random words inside the backend. It’s about helping Amazon connect your book to the RIGHT searches and audience. Sometimes, a book doesn’t fail because the content is bad… it fails because the positioning is weak. I recently broke this down deeper while putting together part of my starter kit because backend keyword strategy matters more than most beginners think.

    @ThurberArtemis @AncapAir @amazon I only make like, an annual Amazon order, so it doesn't bother me so much. One time the idiot driver got stuck in my lawn during the rainy season and Amazon gave me like $1500 to fix it, no hassle. So I kinda like the ****** drivers.

    Issue was correct..! Zepto called and mentioned the same.. Denomination are incorrect and they have requested new from Amazon.. But this call was from a personal number..🤔 I am curious, even if they send new denomination cards. What would happen to these..will they be passed to other customer scratched? Or issuer will convert them to e-gift card? However, I don't know this negligence is from delivery guy or store manager or zepto itself.. Never buying these on zepto again.. customer and trust lost.. Also pinela bs is looking into it.. Many are facing same issue today.. @RajFno #ccgeeks @zeptocares

    Big tech companies are laying off tens of thousands of workers But there are still plenty of new job openings The new data center we just opened is hiring three janitors to clean the dust off server racks for $7.50 an hour Way better job than being a middle manager at Amazon instead of being stuck behind a desk all day, you get to walk around and marvel at the beautiful new data center

    SpaceX is worth $1.5-2 trillion. Could IPO as early as June 12. But regular investors? Still locked out. @CathieDWood and Robinhood CFO both agree: the IPO system is broken. Amazon, Google, Facebook went public at single-digit billions. Retail got a piece. Now? Companies stay private for decades. Institutions eat the best returns. Retail buys the top. The villain: SEC's accredited investor rule. Net worth $1M or $250K income to access private markets. @ARKInvest launched ARKVX. @Robinhood launched RV1. Both open to non-accredited investors. But without rule changes, warned Wood: the next Amazon will be built and owned without you.

    Founder mode, sure. Buybacks down, AI spend up. Smart if the models deliver. But Amazon, Oracle, Microsoft all paired innovation talk with 30K+ layoffs. Pattern holds.

    I had zero experience when I started brand direct. But I could see brands getting crushed on Amazon by resellers they didn't even know existed. I could see distributors losing control of their supply chain. I could see the entire system was broken. So I told brands I could fix it. Then I went on and learned how. Worked for free, built the proof and approached more brands with case studies. You never need to be an expert first. You just need to see the pain before the solution.
