  @MtViewProject Kevin announced Wonder Valley (Alberta) in Dec 2024 and Utah in Feb 2026—both still in permitting, no ground broken, zero operational centers as of April 2026. The AI data center boom exploded in 2023 after ChatGPT, with hyperscalers like Microsoft/Google/Amazon already spending hundreds of billions and building thousands of MW online or under construction by 2024-25. He's ~2 years behind the initial surge but jumping in during the ongoing $3T+ supercycle to 2030, with strong power/land plays. Not the earliest, but positioned for the long game.

  @julianbanks1978 @ostentration The problem is Amazon is tired of building out “safe spaces” and getting their HR bogged down with complaints of work life balance. They’re sick of hiring Americans.

  @jablamsky Microsoft’s OpenAI partnership made its Stock go Skyrocketing. Now that Anthropic is having wider success in the Enterprise, Microsoft themselves choosing Claude models for M365, Amazon inking partnership with OpenAI for RESTFUL API Agents and the fact that Google & Amazon invested more in Anthropic is hurting Microsoft’s Stock. So every announcement Google or Amazon makes about Anthropic helps their stocks. Microsoft can’t do the same with OpenAI anymore since their relationship is strained and also the market doesn’t view OpenAI favourably anymore as Anthropic and Google models are gaining more attention nowadays. Microsoft also doesn’t have Frontier models like Google now - according to MSFT the plan is to develop them by 2027. Also Google and Amazon is using their own Chips in their data centres more than Microsoft does. Every announcement by Google talking about Anthropic is driving Microsoft’s stock down. They’re returning the favour to Microsoft for what Microsoft and OpenAI did to them back in 2023 & 2024.

  $AMZN - Amazon doesn’t need to own the lot to own the car deal. Amazon Autos started with Hyundai and now includes Kia, Mazda, Subaru, Chevrolet, and Jeep across more than 130 U.S. cities. Dealers still fulfill the sale, which is exactly why the move matters: Amazon is not trying to own the showroom first; it is trying to own everything that happens before it. What Amazon actually wants The lazy read is “people are buying cars on Amazon now.” The real read is that Amazon wants the first half of car buying: discovery, comparison, financing prep, and shopper attention. Cox says just 7% of buyers completed the full purchase online, 63% said the ideal process is a mix of online and in-person, and third-party sites remain the top destination for vehicle research. Amazon is not fighting the dealership model; it is inserting itself ahead of it. Amazon’s own material says this is not direct-to-consumer: customers shop online, choose finance, lease, or pay-in-full, put down a deposit, then go to the dealer for pickup and any paperwork that still needs a physical signature. Dealers set price and inventory, while Amazon provides the digital storefront. Amazon also says 68% of Amazon Autos customers had not considered that dealership before purchasing. That is not a checkout feature; it is demand capture. Where the leverage shifts That sounds dealer-friendly until you think about where pricing power and customer ownership migrate. If Amazon controls the place where buyers compare trims, line up financing, and decide which dealer is worth visiting, the dealer risks becoming fulfillment with a finance office attached. U.S. franchised light-vehicle dealership sales topped $1.3 trillion in 2025, and automakers are projected to spend more than $30 billion on advertising this year. Amazon doesn’t need to break franchise laws to monetize that; it can sit above the transaction and tax the funnel through traffic, lender integrations, and ad budgets. Even if unit volume stays modest for a while, Amazon can still reset expectations around transparency, speed, and how much of the deal should be finished before the buyer ever touches the showroom. Bottom line: Amazon isn’t killing dealerships; it’s trying to become the layer that decides who gets shopped, who gets financed, and who gets the customer before the customer ever walks onto the lot.

  @AmazonHelp @amazonIN U are forwarding me 2 CHAT with a bot rather than solving the issue. Each item from "Mr Button" brand @amazonIN is quoting 2x its price. I have given the screenshots & then why do I need to chat to a Bot, who doesnt even understand the issue? #Misleadingcustomers #PoorService

  @unusual_whales OSHA's maximum penalty for a willful workplace violation is $165,514. Amazon did $638 billion in revenue last year. that fine is what they generate every 8 seconds. there's a reason this keeps happening — the regulatory cost of a worker dying is a rounding error on their daily cash flow. until the penalty math changes, the incentive structure won't.

  I was super excited to see Crime 101 pop up for me to watch on Prime so soon (I'm part of the problem! but I WANTED to catch it in theater; it's an Amazon movie) but not nearly as excited as I was when suddenly @sethismorris popped up as a CSI investigator! Or was that @bobducca?

  Amazon is a terrible place to work at by design; they probably love that this story got out. Terrible conditions = high turnover Oopsie we have to automate everything because humans don’t want to work here 😔😔

  @mikepat711 @SawyerMerritt I miss it because the audible app doesn’t sync up my current audible book like car play does. I have to fish around for it in interface. With car play I’d just get it and it would always bring up my current book. The lack of Amazon prime is an issue as well.

  Explained like you're an absolute moron. As requested. The S&P 500 is not the economy. It's 500 companies weighted by how big they are. The bigger the company, the more it moves the index. Seven companies — Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla — are so large they effectively ARE the index. When they go up, the S&P goes up. Even if the other 493 are bleeding. Those seven companies don't sell oil. Don't ship through Hormuz. Don't depend on naphtha. Don't need nitrogen fertilizer. They sell software, ads, cloud computing, and GPUs. Their input costs are electricity and engineering salaries. Neither collapsed. AI capex: $635 billion this year. Pouring into data centers, GPU orders, cloud infrastructure. That spending flows directly to NVIDIA, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet. The war didn't slow AI spending. If anything, defense and intelligence demand accelerated it. The companies at the top of the index are having their best revenue year in history while the physical economy underneath them suffocates. Energy stocks are up because oil is $100+. Exxon, Chevron, ConocoPhillips — all green. Energy is a sector in the S&P. When oil spikes, energy stocks spike. The index includes the beneficiaries of the crisis alongside the victims. The net effect: muted. Defense stocks are up because $1.5 trillion defense budget plus JASSM-ER restocking plus a war that needs more weapons. Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman — all up. Another sector inside the index profiting directly from the crisis the index is supposed to reflect. Passive flows. Every two weeks, every 401(k) in America auto-deposits into index funds. Doesn't matter what's happening in the world. The paycheck hits. The contribution triggers. The ETF buys the index. Mechanically. Regardless. Billions of dollars flowing into the S&P 500 on autopilot while the news says the world is ending. The money doesn't read headlines. It follows a schedule. Buybacks. The seven biggest companies are spending hundreds of billions buying their own stock. Reducing share count. Pushing price per share higher. Mechanically. Apple alone bought back $90+ billion last year. That's not investor confidence. That's financial engineering. So: AI spending + energy profits + defense profits + passive 401(k) flows + corporate buybacks = index goes up. Even while GDP collapses to 0.5%, consumer sentiment hits all-time lows, oil inventories drain, and a naval blockade starts in the world's most important waterway. The index doesn't measure how the country is doing. It measures how seven companies and three sectors are doing. Those companies and sectors are having the best crisis of their lives. 87% of stocks are owned by the top 10%. The index going up means the top 10% got richer. The other 90% got a $5 gas bill and a $2,200 mortgage payment. Both happened on the same day. Both are the economy. Only one has a ticker symbol. The market isn't irrational. It's measuring something different than what you think it's measuring. It's measuring wealth concentration during a crisis. And by that metric, it's performing perfectly.

  @Livid_Pigeon @BBCNews They're old and http rather than protocol. That's all. The Amazon link is obviously so I find it hard to believe that gave you any issues.
