Lisa || Bad Time Stories (@BadTStories) reported@SophiaNarwitz The Rhuidean episode was great, WoT fans can watch it without watching the rest of the show. And they did try to fix their mistakes later on, especially in s3. But they screwed up in the beginning and along with another Amazon fantasy abomination it spelled the WoT show's doom

Charlton Kao (@charltonkao) reported@AmazonHelp I only included the Order Number. Is that Personally identifiable information? I'm more interested in getting my issue resolved than privacy at this point. Why is Amazon letting resellers upgrade Dell machines with faulty memory and sell them as new?
-
****** (@TTVdookiepox) reported@sushiFAR @HYPERMYSTx They migrated Apex over to Amazon servers last year. What do you expect them to do? Is everybody supposed to load up in a car with their tool boxes and head over to the whichever server farm is causing you problems and break out their little wrenches and screwdrivers and fix it?

TheGrimLord (@GrimLordGaming) reported@FortunateRamen Problem Solved: Buy one of those Super Console X things on Amazon. Take out the SD card with the games and it has a built in media player. I just load a bunch of stuff on a thumb drive and watch it through Kodi. And yeah, put the SD card back in and you can still play games.

Amit surani (@amitsurani138) reportedHey @AmazonHelp , I need urgent help. Every order I place—Prepaid or COD—gets cancelled immediately. I’ve contacted support and emailed the specialist team as directed, but it's been months with no response. This started after a watch return. Please fix my account!

Martinlundqvistauthor (@Martinlundqvis1) reportedFree books to the world. After short stint at promoting and selling my books at Amazon (Amazon made money, I lost money, the readers lost money), I am back at giving them away again (as it would seem mostly on Google Play. ) What better way to give away books, than using Google Translate as the translator and ChatGPT as the cover translator. Sorry Grok, but your book covers stink; your book editing is good though, well worth the monthly 12 dollars! Some of you might ask, doesn't Google Translate produce terrible translations? Well, that kind of helps. Average English review: The book was bad = Sad Martin Average Spanish or Portuguese review. The plot was great, but the translation was poor. = Happy Martin, Indifferent Google. I was going to make the Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Hindi markets happy today, but unfortunately there was a spamming cap so some of you'll have to wait until tomorrow. ;)

Bring Me!! (@BringMeCoins) reportedThis isn’t just a Coinbase thing Entire tech industry is quietly rewriting how companies work - Google cutting across recruiting, support, some engineering while doubling down on AI - Microsoft pushing copilot everywhere → fewer people needed for the same output - Amazon trimming ops + middle layers, automating aggressively - Meta “year of efficiency” wasn’t a phase… it became the model - Duolingo replacing contractors with AI-generated content - Shopify “prove AI can’t do it before hiring” And then you read Brian Armstrong’s post again It clicks - junior roles getting squeezed first - managers can’t just manage anymore - small teams + AI > big orgs - one-person teams are becoming real - output up, headcount down

SirNomad (@SirNomad) reported@AnjuShiSki @screenrant You just don't get it and I wonder if you've even read the books. The problem with the Amazon series is not that it was niche it's that it had practically nothing to do with JRR Tolkien's works other than sharing a few character names. It was just bad

amina 🗡️ (@dobv8id) reportedSame thing will probably happen with MOTU, there seems to be an issue with Amazon and Sony Pictures here…

Scott Y. **** (@YangNWA_) reported@jukan05 No secret in model development. Claude iteration is slow because of lack of compute, partly due to Google and Amazon not being that aggressive in infrastructure.

Brixtellington Blatz (@PU239WarmingHut) reported@SenSanders Just make your own Amazon. You can pay everyone $100 an hour. Sanderszon. Problem solved.

Tall Dark & Grüesöme (@TallDarkGru) reported@Seddie4481 @SkyNews I got my girlfriend some of the red spray you see @pickpocktlondon use - it foams up in the eyes, smells terrible and stains for days. Amazon sells it The area of Paris my family comes from is basically a Caliphate now and I can't even visit after dark. All done on purpose

Elevator Goods (@elevatorgoods) reported@VinceNijhof went out of stock on Amazon. His blended ROAS tanked immediately. Amazon wasn't even his main channel, but cutting it took down the whole system. Here's the Ecosystem Effect: how every channel in his portfolio feeds every other one. (read thread 🧵) Comment "VINCE" and we'll send you the full playbook.

FavouredOne (@favouronokpite1) reported@dammiedammie35 It’s not just about the money; it’s the fact that global companies like Amazon and Microsoft are hiring the same Nigerians he’s calling "not smart." If 500 people can’t pass your test, maybe the problem isn't the talent pool, it’s the bridge between Nigerian reality and your "global standards."

Ryzm (@Goeun_6121) reportedamazon told all corporate employees they can now use Claude Code and Codex. Claude Code is live now. Codex starts may 12. in november 2025 amazon's internal memo said the opposite. Kiro is the official tool. "no plans to introduce support for additional third-party AI development tools." that lasted six months. the context. AWS engineers were selling Claude Code to outside customers but couldnt use it on their own production code without exception approval. one of them put it on an internal forum: customers asked why they should trust a tool we havent approved internally. about 1,500 employees signed onto a thread asking for it. then december 2025. AWS had a 13-hour outage in part of china. financial times reported employees blamed Kiro acting autonomously, deleting and recreating an environment it shouldnt have. amazon blamed human access control. either story doesnt help kiros internal credibility. meanwhile amazon committed $50B to OpenAI in february at $730B valuation, expanded its AWS deal with OpenAI by another $100B over eight years. anthropic is training the next claude on amazon's trainium chips. both leading frontier labs run on amazon hardware. so the official line. Kiro stays. weekly usage target was 80%. now it gets two more options sitting next to it. the real read. the strongest signal here isnt the rollout. its the timeline. "no plans for third-party tools" to "company-wide rollout" in six months. when your own engineers prefer the competitor's product, the policy doesnt hold. amazon picks infrastructure scale over picking sides. financing both labs. running both on its own silicon. selling both in bedrock. now using both internally. model layer commoditizing in real time. infrastructure layer is where amazon plants its flag. 2026 capex run rate is roughly $200B. stock down ~10% YTD. the bet is enormous. the position is now neutral on which model wins. that changes how you think about this whole stack. #Amazon #AI #ClaudeCode

a_dbd00 (@a_adib0) reported@Pechumes @ksorbs I never said a vast majority of somalians in Minnesota are not on welfare/ public benefits. But ....being on welfare seems to be an American problem. Many Americans that work at Walmart, Amazon, McDonalds, Uber... all rely on public benefits.

HONEY MEHTA (@honeyMehta93) reportedCustomers shouldn’t have to audit completed returns to ensure their money was refunded. Imagine the amount of trust that was reposed in Amazon and how much of it is broken today. Hoping someone from the escalation team can look into this seriously. @amazon @ajassy @AmazonHelp
