RE: https://fosstodon.org/@arcanechat/116754446974718460 And NO, #Signal is not a solution, it is also centralized and totally dependent in #Amazon and other US infrastructure, US could literally just take it away from Europe or any target country due to "sanctions" over any political conflict, so it is extremely lame when some #European initiatives goes around talking about "digital independence" and then the workshop is about how to move from #WhatsApp to #Signal 🙄🤦‍♂️

«Desaster-Marketing — Amazon-CEO soll hinter der Sperre von Anthropic-Modellen stecken: Andrew Jassy soll die US-Regierung bei einem Abendessen vor Fable und Mythos gewarnt haben. Ein Ultimatum an Anthropic blieb angeblich unbeantwortet» Weshalb wundert dies mich nicht und warum merkt so gut wie niemand dass die in ihrer ganz eigenen Welt leben und doch glauben viele denen blind? 🙄 https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000327191/amazon-ceo-soll-hinter-der-sperre-von-anthropic-modellen-stecken #anthropic #amazon #mythos #fable #ki #marketing #desaster #marketing #it #ai

bing news | Sam Altman said AI will be sold like electricity and water. Tech companies are spending hundreds of billions building the infrastructure to support it AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, told the BlackRock U.S. Infrastructure Summit that artificial intelligence will become a utility—sold by the meter like electricity or water—requiring massive, coordinated build‑outs of data centers, power grids, cooling systems, chips and related infrastructure. Tech giants are already committing hundreds of billions of dollars to this effort, with Alphabet raising $84.75 billion for AI‑focused compute and the industry’s total capital spend projected to exceed $700 billion this year; however, construction is lagging, especially for high‑voltage transformers and other grid components, leaving only a fraction of the targeted U.S. data‑center capacity under active build. A United Nations University report quantifies the physical toll: in 2025 data centers consumed 448 TWh of electricity (with AI accounting for about 20 %), used 4.5 trillion L of water, and emitted 189 million t of CO₂—figures expected to double by 2030. Altman warned that insufficient compute could drive prices up and limit access to the wealthy, creating both investment opportunities in utilities, transformer makers, and data‑center REITs and significant risk if the infrastructure cannot be delivered quickly and affordably.

Times of India | An English literature graduate Daniela Amodei on leaving OpenAI to found Anthropic: Looked crazy thing to do, but … AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Anthropic co‑founder Daniela Amodei, an English literature graduate who previously worked at Stripe and rose to vice‑president at OpenAI, says she left OpenAI in late 2020 after a mentor reminded her that she already knew the right answer, prompting her and her brother Dario to launch Anthropic in 2021. Since then the startup has become a major rival to OpenAI, overtaking it as the world’s most valuable AI company with a $965 billion valuation following a $65 billion Series H financing round led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks and Sequoia, and reporting a $47 billion revenue run rate largely fueled by its Claude Code AI coding assistant. Amodei also advises aspiring entrepreneurs to test co‑founder chemistry by taking a vacation together before founding a company, noting that extended off‑work time reveals whether a partnership can survive the pressures of building a startup.

US Top News and Analysis | Amazon's four-day Prime Day event starts June 23, as shoppers battle inflation AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Amazon’s annual Prime Day will run for four days, from June 23 through June 26, marking the second straight year of an extended‑timeframe event. Launched in 2015 to mimic a mid‑year holiday‑shopping season and boost enrollment in its $139‑a‑year Prime membership, the company kept the four‑day format after observing shoppers browsing and buying throughout the period last year. This year’s promotions will concentrate on groceries and household essentials, with items such as produce, hot‑dog buns, meats and personal‑care products offered at deep discounts (some as low as $1 or 50 % off). The expanded event comes amid a tough economic backdrop: U.S. consumer sentiment fell to a record low in May, driven by rising oil prices and the U.S.–Iran conflict, prompting many shoppers—especially lower‑income consumers—to seek discounts on necessities rather than discretionary goods.

US Top News and Analysis | Nvidia, Meta and Schlumberger rank among top companies adopting AI, new study says AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The AI‑Driven Enterprise Institute’s new study evaluates how effectively S&P 500 companies are adopting artificial‑intelligence tools by scoring them on literacy, advocacy, orientation and implementation, using publicly available data such as earnings‑call transcripts, job listings and patent filings. Chipmaker Nvidia, energy‑services firm Schlumberger, Amazon and Meta each earned perfect 100‑point scores, while Walmart, AES, NextEra Energy, Ecolab and several other firms rounded out the top‑20 list. The index, which does not measure financial returns but provides an objective benchmark for boards and executives, highlights significant gaps in AI knowledge and strategy across industries and underscores the need for greater AI literacy among corporate leaders.

US Top News and Analysis | Snowflake soars 30% on earnings beat and plan to spend $6 billion on Amazon cloud AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Snowflake announced a $6 billion, five‑year commitment to Amazon Web Services, expanding its use of AWS’s custom Arm‑based Graviton CPUs and cloud‑based GPUs for artificial‑intelligence workloads. The deal, which does not include an equity investment, builds on earlier spending agreements that grew from $1.2 billion at the company’s 2020 IPO to $2.5 billion in 2023. In its fiscal first‑quarter results, Snowflake reported $1.39 billion in revenue—a 33 % year‑over‑year increase—and adjusted earnings of $0.39 per share, both surpassing analysts’ expectations, and projected Q2 product revenue of $1.415‑$1.420 billion with a 12.5 % operating margin. The company also disclosed the acquisition of AI startup Natoma. The partnership reflects a broader shift toward Arm‑based processors for AI‑intensive applications, as cloud providers and tech firms increasingly favor energy‑efficient CPUs alongside GPUs for next‑generation, agentic AI workloads.

Salon.com | You’ve been trying to get around Amazon – but it’s not that easy by Yuanyuan Cui, Patrick van Esch AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Amazon’s new Supply Chain Services lets any business—big or small—use its warehouses, trucks and two‑day delivery network, meaning many purchases that appear to support independent brands are actually fulfilled by Amazon’s invisible logistics. The authors explain that this shift, illustrated by cases such as a Sacramento kitchenware maker and the TikTok‑viral drink Poppi, blurs the line between “small‑business” buying and patronizing the retail giant, because Amazon’s Multi‑Channel Fulfillment now handles over 200,000 U.S. merchants and integrates with platforms like Shopify, Etsy, and eBay. While small sellers turn to Amazon for speed, cost and reach, the arrangement gives Amazon greater control over a large share of online spending and erodes the consumer’s ability to meaningfully “shop their values.” Read more: https://www.salon.com/2026/05/27/youve-been-trying-to-get-around-amazon-but-its-not-that-easy-partner/ #Amazon #logistics #shopping #smallbusiness #supplychain

Novara Media | Mamdani Forces Amazon to Hand Over $9m in Unpaid Clean Air Fines by Joshua Carroll AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that his administration has recovered more than $9 million in unpaid clean‑air fines from Amazon after the company repeatedly violated city idling regulations by leaving engines running on parked delivery vehicles, a practice that polluted the air and forced residents to inhale exhaust. Mamdani condemned the tech giant, valued at $2 trillion, for refusing to pay the fines and pledged to collect every dollar owed to the city’s citizens. The Department of Environmental Protection’s commissioner, Lisa F Garcia, praised the effort, noting Amazon’s status as one of the worst offenders. The enforcement move comes amid broader attempts by Mamdani’s administration to curb corporate power and boost public finances, following a recent record $31 million in penalties against negligent landlords, and follows Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’s public criticism of New York’s education system and tax policies.

Times of India | FDI inflows rise 17% to record $95 billion AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In 2025‑26 India saw gross foreign direct investment (FDI) surge by 16.7% to a six‑year high of $94.5 billion, reversing a four‑year decline in net inflows, which rose to $7.7 billion from under $1 billion the year before. After accounting for $53.6 billion of repatriation and disinvestment, direct investment in the country increased 40.6% to $40.9 billion, while FDI from Indian firms grew 18% to $33.3 billion and domestic companies boosted their outbound investments by 22% to $22.6 billion. Analysts note that the slowdown in AI‑related projects is tempering overall growth, but the government’s push for data‑centre development has attracted commitments of about $70 billion from Google, Microsoft and Amazon, plus another $65 billion from firms such as Foxconn and Vinfast. Recent large‑scale investments in financial services—$4 billion from Japan’s Mitsubishi UFJ in Shriram Finance and Sumitomo Mitsui’s stake in Yes Bank—along with newly liberalised FDI rules in insurance (now allowing 100% overseas ownership) are expected to further lift inflows. At the same time, tighter scrutiny of Chinese investments and geopolitical uncertainties in West Asia and the United States are causing some global corporations to postpone new projects until policy clarity improves.
