God no! Wow! They'd taste like ketamine and evil!
I’m hungry and I don’t mind hard drugs
Except that it won’t eliminate anyone because they will all get a federal bailout.
Are you talking about the AI / big tech companies? No they won’t.
My fellow traveler in Christ, the feds have already invested 8.9 billion to keep Intel from suffocating to death in its own farts

I imagine they're referencing the 2008 precedence, although that was banks. But these tech companies are now 'worth more' than the banks so they may be considered 'too big to fail'. Wiki entry for 2008 bailout: Bailout Link

Yeah it will eliminate those fucktards talking constantly about how AI is changing things while in reality it's useless af.
Translation: will allow them to buy up a bunch of shit for cheap as soon as it bursts
Are any of them ready to admit yet that they want our uniquely awful for-profit health care system to stay the way it is for the same reason?
Since Bezos can't perform any of the functions that actually make his company function, it seems the real weakness is at the top.
Dude could turn it all around if he started preserving the environment somewhat...
And slow down the explosive growth of those numbers of his? Not on all of our lives
At this point I feel like it’s like an emperor has no clothes situation.
We all know the tech doesn’t work in an intelligent way, but the second the tech CEOs admit it, the bubble will pop.
These bonzos want the world economy to collapse so there will be massive layoffs, allowing them to offer AI bots to companies and governments to replace human workers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Amazon didn't go the AI route that far. They are a marketplace for AI-gen products, they added summaries to their storefronts, but there is that as far as I know. What Bezos probably wants - is to see newer weirdos like Altman, maybe Musk to get choked, so he becomes the uncontested capitalist #1.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the biggest provider of compute resources and servers in the world. They have huge data centres full of servers and Nvidia GPUs that they rent out to AI companies. Almost every fortune 500 spends 7-8 figures $$$ on aws services a year and a lot of smaller companies spend 6-7 figures too.
Amazon invested billions in anthropic who incidentally use their GPUs and sell access to their models via AWS too.
They certainly have skin in the game when it comes to LLMs/GenAI.

He doesn't care, aws is well placed to boom whatever happens
Uh won't this have the opposite effect? I can see an article like this in the near future:
"Companies marketing AI replacements for workers flounder after mass layoffs result in increasingly cheap, plentiful labor pool"
I Sometimes wonder why we actually listen to them at all?
...the universe does not reward the strong any more than it does the weak...
And for every Amazon there will be hundreds of 800.com's
