Laurie 🇺🇸🐾🎣☀️🌸 (@LaurieFLPatriot) reported@gatorgar It’s google, meta and Amazon. Am I missing something? Are they tied to our national security? Just curious as the messaging seems to be shoving down our throats which makes my guard go up. I was in the panhandle this summer and there are huge military campuses that are inoffensive. If these companies will provide the ai development needed tell us that. We already are using ai and I don’t have to look at or hear a data center. We are still in a drought in my area in rainy season and people’s wells go dry costing 10-15k to drill deeper. If we all have to use the same aquifer then it’s no good. The surge of flock at the same time is sus. Look at what china does with this tech. If there is nothing nefarious then better information is needed imo. This is new to me so I don’t know ****.

Wall St Engine (@wallstengine) reportedEvercore ISI Raises $AMZN PT to $355 from $315 - Outperform Key takeaways from the 14th Annual U.S. Online Retail survey: 1. For the first time, we see evidence that Agentic AI is additive for Amazon Retail, with 57% of Alexa AI users buying a product they were not previously aware of. 2. Amazon’s leadership position remains intact, though it did not widen. Amazon penetration was 92%, down from last year’s record 95%, but still 34 points ahead of #2 Walmart. 3. Shipping speed adoption is re-accelerating, with regular Same-Day usage rebounding to 49%. Prime Same-Day users now spend 3.1x what non-Prime members spend, the widest gap yet. 4. Perishable Checkout is emerging as a meaningful grocery opportunity, with ~46% of respondents who have seen it adding fresh groceries to their Amazon carts. AMZN remains a Top Large Cap Long."

Zack Zhu (@the_zack_zhu) reportedTotally agree. I hate to hear now days all reinvesting has been framed as the “Amazon playbook.” Not every company is the unique Amazon, and definitely not every investment pays off. For the $MELI case, I think it’s definitely a defensive move, but it is also definitely the right thing to do. MELI has already copied a lot of things over the years from American platforms, and in recent years they have also been aggressively copying from Shopee. They copied storefronts (Mi Página), cross-border, content strategy (Clips), BD strategy, promotion strategy (double dates), aggressive free-delivery strategy, and even parts of the logistics structure (slow shipping) I personally quite admire this part of MELI: they are really willing to learn from their competitors, no matter whether it’s from the East or the West. But saying they are reinvesting voluntarily is just not intellectually honest. Shopee was already more than half MELI’s size and growing more than 2x faster when MELI restarted free shipping. MELI had lowered shipping thresholds before, but the level of aggressiveness was not on the same scale. I think they even adjusted the algo to give more traffic to lower-AOV products this time. This is a big shift forced by competitors. - Shopee is also a replica of Alibaba Taobao. Even now, I think most of Shopee’s strategy and product design is still just copying its counterparts in China. It's nothing wrong with learning from the best practice.

Rachael ⋆.˚ ☾⭒.˚ (@divinechiming) reportedAmazon’s customer service link is like talking to a black hole. They’re AI literally tries to give you every other direction which makes no sense in order to even report a problem. I just would like to talk to a human being. You delivered a package of three items. One of the items was in fact, not the correct item and I cannot report that specifically due to your arrangements of icons to click on and if I can’t talk to a human to report the problem, how ******** are you ever gonna realize that there was an error? And now I’ve just spent the last 20+minutes trying to reach customer service to report a problem. I’ve now extended my free time of a system error which was not my fault where I can’t even speak to anyone to report it and be handled accordingly. @amazon

Anna writes (@anna_writes0) reported@Elhusseini001 I personally don't advise using a VPN or a new browser to try to separate multiple Amazon accounts. I'm not a supporter of operating multiple accounts on the same phone, whether you're using a VPN or not. If you're running into an account issue, I'd rather advise you to follow Amazon's policies and resolve the issue properly than try to find ways around their systems. Just because someone else is doing it successfully doesn't mean it's something I'd recommend.

Dan Moore (@DanMoor93974508) reportedJust like to say Ever since businesses started using AI, my life has become hell. I cannot buy anything at a decent price online. AI will either say my non-standard address is an illegitimate address or it doesn't exist, and it sways many, many good deals away from me where they refuse to ship to my non-standard address, thinking it's incorrect, and I end up not being able to buy on eBay 90% of the time. I can get three out of 10 packages delivered if I'm lucky; it's very discouraging, and I miss out on 90% of all the good deals. Not just on eBay, it's on Amazon, on Walmart, on all e-commerce stores because they're all having problems with this damn AI mingling in our addresses and making non-standard addresses illegitimate addresses, and it's hell for the poor, especially the elderly poor who have a hard time communicating I wish AI would get bumped, nuked, or destroyed. I'm an old-school computer tech from the '90s still managing, maintaining, servicing, and repairing my computers and devices. I use several Linux distros, which I find a lot more convenient, useful, and trustworthy than any Microsoft product or version of Microsoft Windows with all of the updates and manipulation to control the people's systems. It has destroyed my faith in Microsoft, and just when it looked like life was becoming something worth living and a technical world turning into something useful and enjoyable, they would have to drag AI, the real monster, into our lives, and today it's a living hell, and I wish somebody could hear my words. AI has a way of making sure nobody ever hears our voices anymore or hears me. I've noticed time and time again it's got control of people, and nobody's paying attention to what AI is really doing to people who don't have the abilities to properly articulate or communicate—people who are not so healthy physically and/or mentally or not schooled much don't spell or type very well, like me. Even though I am pretty tech-savvy, I'm nearly 70 years old and struggling these days now more than ever before. If there were ever a time I would be tempted to leave this world, if I didn't worry about where I would spend eternity, it would be easy, and I cringe at getting older or staying alive in this world the way it is now or what it's becoming to me and other human beings; it's a real nightmare that many who are like me are living in today.

Greg Brian (@Gregoriancant) reportedOne might say it was health neglect, but others would say “broken heart syndrome” after one’s spouse passes following multiple decades of marriage. It’s a lesson, though, to always care for one’s self, even if adamant on caring for others first. We say that at Amazon all the time. #DollyParton #Cancer

Sarah S of TN (@Sarah_StrTN) reported@BeanisMcMillan You’re right, that is a problem. To secure our lines, someone is going to have a lot of work on his hands planning for how to address it all. I’d be ordering that case of Excedrin from Amazon, now.

Pietro Mappers (of Success Mappers) (@SUCCESSMAPPERS) reported"My listing looks great" is an emotional statement, not a business metric. We do not feel if an Amazon listing is good; we measure it. Check your Unit Session Percentage (CVR). If the data is below the category average, your listing is broken. Fix it. #AmazonData

Varsha Utkarshni (@VUtkarshni) reported@amazon @amazonIN @AmazonHelp Now we the Indian people are the source for them to generate money and collecting data too and the very unfortunate thing is none of the Indian government is looking after such kinds of issues. So basically we are still not free from the slavage of such apps.

Defiant Ghost (@TheDefiantGhost) reportedEd Zitron just said something Wall Street never wanted public: OpenAI misses the IPO — Your 401(k) pays the bill OpenAI doesn’t go public. It runs out of cash. They need $100 billion a year just to survive. They’ve delayed the IPO. They have $1.1 trillion in cloud commitments. SoftBank is sitting on ~$100 billion of paper OpenAI stock it can’t sell. Oracle is building $400B+ of data centers for one customer. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft all booked future growth off the same two unprofitable labs. When OpenAI can’t raise again, they don’t “slow down.” They force every Magnificent 7 company to restate the story. Nvidia revenue could drop 50–70%. Half of last year’s VC went into AI. Most of those startups go to zero. This isn’t a dip. It’s a tech depression. And the people who get wrecked first aren’t Sam Altman. It’s Jenny and Dave’s retirement.

Robert Graham (@robertgraham) reportedIt's the standard refrain in cybersecurity "that status quo security isn't enough". We've been saying that for 40 years and are continually frustrated that people won't listen to us. And yet, it always has been "enough". We all conduct business securely only, just 10 minutes ago I bought something from Amazon online. Clearly, the benefits outweigh the risks. The problem isn't with cybersecurity but the type of people who have their heads stuck up their asses who'll never believe "status quo security is enough" no matter how secure we are.... ...even the point of a police state. The cybersecurity is full of people who as kids "fought the Man" who have now become the Man and who are naively trying to establish a Cyber Police State even when they think they are tying to help people.
