Salaar (@Akhtar4love) reported@Flipkart @flipkartsupport The Flipkart support team is pathetic, I am chasing one thing for a week, that is why amazon is far better in terms of better customer support. Still my issue not resolved
-
JD Storm (@JDStorm54) reported@AuthorAltoft Amazon are reviewing and deleting reviews at a rate of knots atm. As far as I'm aware, they're taking down AI-written reviews. Or those they perceive to be written with AI, but are doing nothing about the books written with the same machine.

Joshua Peralta (@ThePerpass) reportedI used to do Amazon Flex for a while and it worked, just that my car started having issues with it's starter.

World Monitoring Center (@WMC_WORLD) reportedTHE 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.

Prometheus 2.1 (@wraithburn) reportedWhen I applied for Amazon in 2017, I got to the in person rounds and was flown to Seattle with a lot of others. When leaving the Amazon building, we rode an elevator down. Two white girls were already on and said, "Great, another white guy" when I entered. I did not get the job

catalinamike47 (@catalinamike47) reported@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.

Pierre Collet (@ColletPier96354) reported@XHNews Nio is the best and the worst stock to own, all at the same time. If Nio is all that we make it out to be, we should not expect anything less. Ask early Amazon or Tesla holders. I did not buy Nio for 5 straight years because I thought it was going to go down. Every time I bought Nio, it kept going down. My thought was, "If you liked Nio at $50, why wouldn't you like it at $3?" That's a valid question. I kept studying the company. The news kept/keeps getting better and better every single quarter. They just had two consecutive quarters of profit which NOBODY on this planet expected. Honestly, you know what I'm pissed about? I am upset that I'm tapped out. I started out in 2020 with a small position, but really liked the company. The more it went down, the more I sold my other stocks. Today Nio is my only holding. Why today's slide? I'm just "dumb money." If I were smart money, I mean really, really smart (short) money, like a multi-billionaire smart money, as I said before, I would just keep doing the same thing until I couldn't anymore. In fact, I would short Nio till my hands started bleeding, till the very last possible moment, to get the price as low as humanly possible, and then turn coat and put everything I had long on Nio. (you make more money going long vs. short and you get better sleep) But hey, I'm just "dumb money." Add to that weakling retail traders who set stop losses, naked shorting, ongoing super F.U.D, lack of retail awareness of Nio in the United States, and the Chinese factor, and this is what you get. In the end, I don't care what anyone says about China or Nio. I am HAPPILY all in. I figure I'm sitting next to Orville and Wilbur Wright on their first flight. When those skids get off the ground, I am NOT stopping.

Richard E Hagen 🇺🇸 (@RichardEHagen1) reported@GOP_is_Gutless Isn’t Amazon closing down their fresh stores all around the country? No fan of Seattle’s mayor, but Amazon Fresh shutting down is not just a Seattle thing.

David Quintieri (@themoneygps) reported@levelsio The reviews are so BS on Amazon I’ve been selling on there for many years and fake reviews are still a huge problem Fake reviews on most listings but also fake reviews hit your listings as competitors attack

ciclones (@ciclones13) reported@LeePrevost @MetamateDaz Chances are he takes out the loan. And Amazon makes the payments. Thus also bringing its tax liability down. If the stock tanked. He’d get margin called. It’s not a risk free strategy.

Vipul (@Vi1PUL) reported@subhi_karma The woman who raised this issue is an idiot of the highest order..she is raising issue with amazon and only threatening that she would file a police complaint if there’s no action against him..what she doesn’t understand is that he won’t change his behaviour even if he gets fired

John Miller (@SwissInvestr) reportedInstead he went $2B+ into Microsoft and added 19% to Amazon. Both are direct beneficiaries of AI capex, which is the one part of the economy that is not slowing down. Consensus estimates have hyperscaler AI spend rising another 33% in 2026 after a 69% surge in 2025.

Matt Cotton (@mj_cotton) reported@LoftusSteve In the case of Bezos that may have been true when he started Amazon. He certainly has overseen innovation. I don’t have a problem with him becoming very rich. He did however start in a privileged position. Amazon has also abused its market position.
