  @IGN $169.99 is around ₹14,300 only. That is actually the cheapest price for a 5TB portable drive right now. Amazon was selling the standard version for $209 recently. But remember this is a HDD not an SSD. Speeds will be slow if you are planning to run heavy games directly.

  The problem? Every return was for a defective product or a tool that was an active safety hazard. I am getting punished for not keeping broken gear. @AmazonHelp someone human needs to look at this and fix it.

  Porsche just signed a $1.5 billion, five-year contract to get AI deployed across the entire company, and they sold their own consulting firm to the company they hired. Porsche had 4,500 of its own consultants who already knew every workflow in the building, and they STILL paid an outside firm $1.5 billion to do the AI work. An interesting piece to this that most don't know, Porsche owns an IT consulting firm. It's called MHP, short for Mieschke Hofmann und Partner. Porsche founded it in 1996, it did €742 million in revenue last year, and its main job for the last 30 years has been running technology and transformation projects inside Porsche. They sold MHP to Tata Consultancy Services for €320 million and signed TCS to run the whole thing: A dedicated AI center built just for Porsche, rolling AI into engineering, manufacturing, operations, and customer experience over five years. Add it to the list. Anthropic launched Ode with Blackstone and Goldman. Amazon put a billion into forward deployed engineers. Starbucks is building its own software. Now a car company that owned its own consulting firm is paying $1.5B for someone else to come in and implement. The lesson people are going to take from this is wrong though. They'll see the number and think AI consulting means selling a model or a chatbot to a big logo. Porsche didn't need help getting access to AI. What they paid for is people who'll sit inside the operation, map how the work actually gets done, cut what shouldn't exist, and build the systems that make AI stick. That's essentially what we do at Boom for companies doing $2M to $100M, at a fraction of that price. Same problem, same playbook. They just can't call a company like TCS or Ode. There's a version of this deal sitting inside every mid-sized company in the country right now, and almost none of them can afford the firm Porsche hired. This will go on for the next several years. Your job is to position yourself and help as many companies as possible facilitate that process.

  The most powerful man in tech cried in a company cafeteria last weekend. Almost nobody saw it. 200 people. No stage. No keynote. Just Tim Cook letting a room see what 15 years actually cost him. On September 1st, he steps down as Apple CEO. He took the chair from Steve Jobs in 2011 while the whole industry waited for him to break it. Instead, he built the most valuable company on earth. Services. Silicon. Wearables. Payments. A hardware maker turned into an ecosystem worth trillions. Now the keys go to John Ternus. 25 years inside Apple. The hardware engineer who quietly shipped nearly every device you own. He inherits one uncomfortable problem. The richest company in tech is behind on AI. Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon sprinted. Apple stayed cautious. Ternus has days to answer for it. His first move as CEO is the September iPhone event. Most founders get pushed out. Cook got a farewell. A band. A full room. A rare moment of being seen. Can a hardware genius win a software war?

  @WRGroyp @carlwheless GroypBall — your profile says “Christ is King”. Is this what He preached? You are a disgrace to Christianity, our country 🇺🇸 and I’d imagine to your broken family. You might also want to pick up a dictionary from Amazon, helps ***** grow beyond grade school cuss words. Try it. 📖

  Just in: Amazon to Shut Down Mechanical Turk, the Service Bezos Once Called “Artificial AI”. Amazon announced Tuesday that it will shut down Mechanical Turk, its crowdsourcing platform that has been operating for 21 years. The closure of the service, also known as MTurk, will take effect on Sept. 30, 2026. A notice on the Mechanical Turk website said Amazon regularly evaluates its programs, tools and services and makes adjustments based on those reviews. Following an evaluation, the company decided to close Amazon Web Services’ Mechanical Turk service. Launched in 2005, the platform matched workers with simple digital tasks known as “Human Intelligence Tasks.” Individual tasks typically paid only a few cents and included data labeling, audio and video transcription, and survey responses. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos described the service as “artificial AI.” The platform outsourced to people tasks that computers struggled to handle but humans could complete easily. The platform’s name comes from the 18th-century “Mechanical Turk,” a seemingly chess-playing machine that was actually operated from inside by a human chess master. Amazon is reportedly believed to have initially conceived the product to handle the massive volume of data-labeling work generated by its e-commerce website. Amazon said the number of workers on the platform, commonly known as Turkers, exceeded 500,000 at its peak. But Krista Pavolowski, a data worker and organizer with the labor-advocacy group Turkopticon, said MTurk has “steadily declined” in recent years. Since MTurk was launched, AI model technology has advanced rapidly. At the same time, a large number of data startups, including Scale AI, Mercor and Prolific, have entered the market to recruit workers to train AI models. Amazon also targeted demand for AI training by positioning MTurk as a data-labeling resource and promoting it commercially in connection with its SageMaker service. An Amazon Web Services webpage said workers on the platform could be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It added that Amazon’s Mechanical Turk workforce could generally deliver human-review and data-labeling tasks as quickly as possible. Pavolowski said that as numerous data-labeling competitors emerged, Amazon continued to reduce the resources it devoted to improving and updating MTurk. That led many platform workers to move to other competitors, she said. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Some of the data produced through the platform has long faced quality concerns. A 2023 study by Swiss researchers found that as many as 46% of Mechanical Turk workers used AI models to complete tasks. Last month, Amazon stopped accepting new MTurk customers. Many workers interpreted that move at the time as a sign that the service was headed for closure. Pavolowski said some insurance and tourism companies still rely on MTurk for data labor and are now urgently seeking alternatives. Pavolowski began taking jobs on MTurk in 2008 while on maternity leave to help support her household. After being laid off in 2012, she began doing the crowdsourced work full time to care for her son, who has special needs. She joined Turkopticon as an organizer in 2019. The group initially advocated only for MTurk workers but later expanded its coverage to all data-crowdsourcing workers. Pavolowski said Mechanical Turk and other data-labeling platforms can provide “substantial income” and flexible hours, similar to gig work such as ride-hailing and Amazon Flex delivery. An additional advantage, she said, is that the work can be done remotely using only a smartphone. “Some people still rely on this work as their full-time livelihood,” Pavolowski said. “They are very worried now.” #Stocks #Amazon #AI

  Amazon says it will shut down Mechanical Turk on Sept. 30, ending the 21-year-old crowdsourcing platform that paid people to complete tasks computers struggled to handle. $AMZN

  @ljng180667 $NVDA selling custom ASICs like $AVGO would mean competing with its own biggest customers and giving up CUDA lockin. Their model is the platform sold to everyone the WalMart not custom chips for six hyperscalers. $NVDA could hire an ASIC design team tomorrow. The real problem is selling cheap custom chips to Google, Amazon, and OpenAI would cut into demand for expensive GPUs. Why would they do that?

  Most people lose more money to bad storage than to bad vendors. Freeze-dried peptides last about a year at room temp out of sunlight. Fridge and freezer extend that dramatically but only if you're doing it right. I broke down every container I own, cheapest to most expensive: Vacuum seal bags (my budget pick under $20 and it works) The $13 Amazon travel case HydroPeak + 3D printed inserts Even a Pepsi bottle someone in the community uses as a stash container Heat and moisture are what kill your peptides. Not time. Full breakdown in the video. Also giving away 5 Reta Essential Kits + a full year in the community. Follow + comment to enter. Sept 1.

  @_rotimia 1) Rare earth mining, since we recently discovered some of the largest deposits in the world, 2) Metallurgy -- we used to have the best steel foundries in the world before we decided that manual labor was declassé, 3) Manufacturing of consumer goods, so people don't have to roll the dice on whether whatever Chinese white label junk of the week on Amazon will crumble to dust in half a day's use and/or give them tumors, 4) Semiconductor fabs, to break the Taiwanese monopoly & drive down ridiculous scarcity prices, 5) Memory manufacturing, see above, 6) Automotive, from soup to nuts, with zero imported resources or parts, zaibatsu-style. Among many other possibilities we've squandered over the past 40 years. Taking back our country's destiny by making the things we use again, instead of fobbing production off on serfs we don't need to care about overseas so wealthy people can make more money, will transform the American people from the lumpen mass they've degenerated into back to human-shaped, empathetic, feeling, thinking human beings, like we were before laziness & the endless pursuit of idle convenience captured our country in a Faustian bargain.
