  🚨 THE ENTIRE AI BOOM MIGHT BE BUILT ON FAKE REVENUE. Latest corporate filings show that OpenAI and Anthropic alone make up over half of the entire $2 trillion future cloud backlog held by Microsoft, Oracle, Google, and Amazon. This massive pipeline is actually being created through a circular accounting trick called a round trip revenue loop. But how it works ? A tech giant gives billions of dollars to an AI startup as an "investment". But hidden in the contract is a strict rule forcing the startup to hand that exact same money straight back to the tech giant to rent their computer servers. Look at the documented case of Microsoft and OpenAI. When Microsoft invested $13 billion into OpenAI, it didn't just give them cash; it gave them "cloud credits" to use Microsoft servers. OpenAI used those exact credits to train its AI models, and Microsoft then turned around and recorded that server usage as brand new "cloud revenue" from a customer. The tech giant is literally paying itself with its own money and calling it a sale. This is why OpenAI’s annual cloud bill has ballooned to over $60 billion, double its actual revenue of $25 billion, kept alive solely by this recycled funding loop. Anthropic runs the exact same play, spending $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in just nine months, which was basically 100% of all the money it earned at the time. This manufactured demand triggers a second accounting trick where tech giants book massive paper profits. Every time a startup gets a higher value from a new funding round, the tech giant updates the value of its investment on its books and counts that unearned paper gain as direct profit. In Q1 2026, Alphabet reported a record $62.6 billion profit, but $28.7 billion nearly half, was just a paper markup on its Anthropic investment. In the same quarter, Amazon reported $30.3 billion in profit, but $16.8 billion of it was just an Anthropic paper gain. While Amazon reported record profits, its actual free cash flow collapsed 95% to just $1.2 billion because it had to spend $44.2 billion in real cash to build physical data centers. This has created a massive danger where these giant companies rely heavily on just one or two unstable startups. Microsoft has 49% of its $627 billion future backlog tied to OpenAI, while Oracle has an incredible 54% of its entire $553 billion pipeline relying on OpenAI alone. This perfectly mirrors the 2001 dot-com crash when Global Crossing and Qwest Communications swapped identical fiber-optic network capacity with each other just to book fake sales. Qwest had to erase $1.4 billion in fake income, and Global Crossing went completely bankrupt. The only difference is that the dot-com swaps were illegal, but today's AI loop is fully legal under current accounting rules. This legal loop inflates tech company stock prices, forcing automatic retirement accounts and index funds to buy even more of these tech stocks. It is a self feeding loop where investments, sales, and stock prices all go up on paper without the AI technology ever making real cash profits.

  @LeftyWinter The US can do the world a favor and lock this terror supporting lunatic up for life. He's radicalized millions of teens around the world. @amazon @Twitch are complicit. Governments need to issue record setting fines against Amazon.

  Look I might be revealing how provincial I am, but if I ever start a company, every employee is going to get a standing desk. It would cost less than USD 400 though. The best double motor sturdy standing desk kits off amazon, topped by real wood, finished by your local furniture guy. Deliveries staggered over two weeks. None of that chipboard crap. No glues or dyes. No money thrown at the problem with a subpar result. You know why? Because I need those things to last 5 years, and get value for money. Something satisfying about that. Scaling will be hard for me. Eh!

  @ComicKing007 The best thing about Amazon is it won’t shut down any time soon at least Ave they own data centers

  So I own that. I get a job at Amazon in South Baltimore City. I’m making cash now. I eventually get a new place in Baltimore City outside of the recycling plant. Okay. Right off Patterson park. So now I’m independent. I meet my baby mama there and we hold it down for a while

  @MaryBowdenMD @amazon too direct and accusatory, simply refer people to the original with a suggestion? State there is nothing new here, keep the lawyers out of the review. Contact amazon directly. They will likely take it down.

  @antibearthesis Amazon is probably a safer option as it’s continuing to grow and will be competing with SpaceX on space based internet and probably data centers. But remember Amazon has no stake in Blue Origin so if the rocket part of the commercial space race takes off (excuse the pun) Amazon won’t benefit but also won’t be exposed if SpaceX crushed BO into bankruptcy. SpaceX is the riskier bet but with much higher upside. Like I said, it’s being valued like a start up so you’re investing into it would reflect the same kind of risk. But you also need to consider the likelihood of post IPO the price skyrocketing but then crashing after they hype and likely before Starship is flying regular missions. Just look at all the haters coming out again after yesterday’s semi successful but also disappointing launch. They will continue to hammer SpaceX through its testing phase. While Superheavy has pretty much proven the possibility of rapid reuse by landing on the tower. It still needs to prove the engines are up to it and they nor the high heated areas don’t need any refurbishing before reuse. Starship meanwhile has even more to prove with it’s tiles and if they will live up to the rapid reuse plan. Don’t forget, SpaceX is basically following NASA’s orginal plans for the Space Shuttle, but they learned quickly that the tiles needed inspection, servicing and/or replacing after each launch. This was a major factor in the failure of the Shuttle program to become financially independent and help fund NASA in the post Apollo era budget cuts. So like I said, SpaceX more risky but if they can solve those problems, you’re likely looking at the biggest corporation that will have ever existed.

  @maddenifico I can’t wait for this to be appealed. Are the IDLE POLICE sitting on the curb waiting for PRIME Delivery Trucks to arrive with a Stop Watch in their hands to measure standing time? Amazon calculates its delivery routes to demand an average of 20 to 30 stops per hour. When broken down per stop, this equates to roughly 2 to 3 minutes per stop, which includes the physical delivery, scanning, taking a photo, and returning to the van to resume travel. Travel Time: The algorithm factors in the physical distance between drops, local speed limits, turn radiuses, and typical neighborhood traffic, but it relies heavily on assuming the driver travels at or near the speed limit. Delivery Time: The physical stop-and-deliver time is typically assigned about 30 seconds to 1 minute for a straightforward house drop. Resume Travel & Group Stops: The algorithm allows for "group stops" (where multiple addresses are bundled into one stop location). When resuming travel, the system relies on standard walking and driving algorithms, but does not always account for unmapped delays like finding parking or navigating gated communities.

  @HomeDepot centerville, Utah. You make it really hard to do business with you. You have product, but it’s up high above reach. You have employees who won’t get it down because it’s during the day but I can get it on Amazon and have it delivered by tomorrow morning at 8 AM.

  @MoreLimitless The issue is that Amazon was not giving them money for the season to go in bigger scales that the story desperately needed so they scaled everything down and brought a lot of disappointment. The finale at least makes sense with the story and what little they had.

  Amazon Fresh was a terrible idea anyway.
