    @naomibrockwell @defcon @IoTvillage the walls half is already settled: in march 2025 amazon removed the "do not send voice recordings" option from echo entirely, so every request goes to their cloud now. opt-outs don't get deleted for being broken. good luck sunday, that's a brutal slot.

    Amazon accidentally spent $1.8 million on tokens for a project using Claude Sonnet.The project was supposed to match book authors with the correct product listings. The budget was exceeded by 860%. The problem was discovered only five months later. I became curious about why no one noticed such high spending for so long. Amazon had an internal program that evaluated employees based on how often they used AI at work. The company set a goal 80% of developers should use AI every week. Their activity was tracked through an internal ranking based on token usage. When people are evaluated by how much they use a tool rather than by the results they produce, this is exactly what happens. Some employees started running the model on unnecessary tasks simply to improve their position in the ranking. Amazon said this was an isolated case. But there were two other similar incidents. One financial audit tool overspent by about $541,000. A logistics project overspent by another $134,000, although that mistake was discovered within two weeks. When companies pay for tokens like they pay for electricity, but set KPIs that effectively say, “Use more,” they get exactly what Amazon got. Amazon is now building a system that automatically limits token spending. Based on my experience, how companies are controlling token costs today. They set a strict spending limit for every project or API key. Once the limit is reached, the system stops automatically. They monitor not only the total amount spent, but also how quickly the money is being used. This helps them detect problems within days instead of months. They assign one person to be responsible for every AI process and give that person the authority to stop it immediately. They limit what AI systems are allowed to do with expensive operations instead of giving them the same level of access as experienced engineers. And they track spending separately for every team and in real time, rather than waiting for a report at the end of the month.

    @AmazonHelp @amazon @amazonIN Please conduct one last investigation and arrange the final return pickup, as I have been trying to resolve this issue for a long time. I would sincerely appreciate your support and cooperation.

    @ScottEnlow Easy, confront with video and ask them to fix or replace the pool. If she refuses then file a police report and press charges. You could sue in small claims but personally I would just fix the pool with a $20 patch kit from Amazon and call it good.

    At some point in Book 1, two robbers dressed in black climb over the fence into Noah's backyard. Standard villain stuff. Masks. Bad intentions. The works. What they do not expect is a small green alien stepping forward and announcing, "Time for my special power!" What happens next is a rolling pink cloud that smells exactly — exactly — like warm chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. The robbers stop. They sniff. And then: "That smell... it reminds me of my mom's cookies." The second robber pulls down his mask. He's tearing up. "My mother would be SO upset if she knew I was doing this." Both robbers sit down in the grass. They talk it out. They decide, right there, to quit crime, get honest jobs, and go visit their mothers. Defeated by a fart that smelled like love. This is the kind of book this is. The jokes are ridiculous. And then, when you're not looking, they're about something. POOSHMELLIO THE FLATULENT ALIEN — Book 1 of the Pooshmellio series. By Douglas and Cheryl Hall. Available now on Amazon worldwide.

    @AmazonHelp your customer service phone numbers no longer work. The app is giving no option to request a call Does this mean Amazon has no interest in servicing customers anymore other than to take our payments & if there's a problem were just out of luck?

    @TeamBitcoin @naominlewis Thing is, Amazon is not legally required to deliver to every house. Like, some mail carrier has to ride a donkey down into the grand canyon every day. (This is not hyperbole.) If Amazon had to follow that rule, they wouldn’t be as efficient. Also USPS delivers for Amazn on sunday

    @AlanRob68902430 @AmazonHelp Staff do not seem to be empowered to resolve issues, or take ownership, and the annoying aspect of on the online chat is that the agent changes four or five times and you have to explain yourself again and again.

    Not a Microsoft-only problem. Atlassian's AI bill tripled from $5M to $15M+/month since August 2025. Citi cut staff off Claude and ChatGPT entirely. Amazon, Adobe, AT&T, Meta, Uber, Walmart are throttling too.

    Anyone else had major trouble ordering direct from @ArrowFilmsVideo ?! I paid way more to buy the Stranger Things set direct, the difference is $100+ now looking at Amazon, and I have yet to get any tracking info after it shipped on the 20th last month. Honestly unacceptable!!!!!

    @AmazonHelp I have no hopes of a fair and just resolution from Amazon India. Your promise of a resolution within 6 hours 2 days ago are bull.... I am stuck with your product in which you advertised one thing and sent me something else. Your standards have plunged down.

    @FoodProfessor Amazon shut down Prime in Quebec. The media said it was because of labour laws but I know someone inside Amazon who told me that was not it. It was because they could not hire managers - no one in Quebec wants to work that hard.

    @MelGibso1 It's all about self branding. You walk in with a hijab then you are a problem. I wouldn't hire you in America but 1% of the DEI companies would. So apply there and push boxes at Amazon.

    Enterprise AI transformation is not simply purchasing customer service Agents, marketing Agents and advertising Agents. Agents are merely entry points. The bulk of the actual work lies in data infrastructure, system integration, access permission management, human handoff workflows, auditing, performance evaluation and ongoing operational iteration. One of the most critical capabilities for customer service Bots is knowing when to say "I don’t know": escalate low-confidence queries to human agents, and log these unresolved issues to upgrade the knowledge base iteratively. Start by equipping employees with personal Agents to tackle long-tail tasks first, then formalize recurring high-frequency demands into standardized enterprise-wide system capabilities. Amazon data can be ingested into Agent workflows via Amazon Scraper API, Amazon Data MCP and Amazon Scraper Skill.
