Alright, let's get one thing straight: Amazon's stock is hitting all-time highs, and everyone's losing their minds over AI. Again. Last I checked, we still had traffic jams and reality TV, so pump the brakes on the singularity, folks.
So, Amazon (AMZN) is supposedly crushing it. Stock's up, cloud computing is "growing at a pace we haven’t seen since 2022" – that's according to CEO Andy Jassy. Translation: they're selling more digital snake oil than ever before. And offcourse, everyone's buying.
They're touting this $38 billion compute deal with OpenAI as some kind of game-changer. Thirty-eight billion dollars. For what? So our refrigerators can write poetry? Give me a break.
This whole AI thing feels like the dot-com bubble all over again, just with fancier buzzwords. Remember when every company slapped a ".com" on the end of its name and the stock price doubled overnight? Now it's "AI," and suddenly, we're supposed to believe that Amazon's gonna solve world hunger or something.
And these analysts? Don't even get me started. "Strong Buy rating," "14.22% upside." They're basically paid cheerleaders for Wall Street. I bet half of them couldn't tell you the difference between machine learning and a microwave.
Let's talk about Amazon Web Services (AWS). It's their golden goose, supposedly. Revenue run rate above $100 billion, growth accelerating…yadda, yadda, yadda.
But here's the thing: AWS is basically renting out server space. It's digital real estate. They built a bunch of warehouses in the cloud, and now they're charging everyone rent. It's a brilliant business model, I'll give them that. But is it really revolutionary? Or are they just exploiting the fact that everyone's too lazy to manage their own servers?
And this "Project Rainier," their $11 billion AI data center? It sounds like something out of a Bond movie. I fully expect Dr. Evil to be running the place.
Speaking of evil, let's not forget Amazon's track record. They're masters of market manipulation, crushing competition, and treating their warehouse workers like robots. But hey, as long as the stock price goes up, who cares, right?
I read somewhere that Amazon's custom AI chip, Trainium, is "fully subscribed and a multi-billion-dollar business." Fully subscribed? What does that even mean? Are they selling subscriptions to AI now? It's like the damn streaming wars all over again.
Then again, maybe I'm the crazy one here. Maybe AI is the future. Maybe Amazon is saving the world. Maybe I should just shut up and buy some stock. Nah.
Amazon's part of this "Magnificent Seven" group of tech stocks. You know, the ones that are supposedly driving the entire market. But let's be real: it's more like the "Magnificent Four" (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta) and then a bunch of hangers-on.
Amazon's been lagging behind in this AI boom, but now they're trying to catch up. They haven't gotten the same AI tailwind as Microsoft with OpenAI or Meta with their ad business. So, they're throwing money at the problem, hoping something sticks.
It's like watching a bunch of toddlers fighting over a toy. Except the toy is the future of humanity, and the toddlers are multi-billion-dollar corporations.
So, what's the takeaway? Is Amazon a buy? Should we all invest our life savings in AMZN stock and pray for the best?
Look, Amazon's not going anywhere. They're too big to fail. But this whole AI hype train is getting out of control. We're so busy worshipping at the altar of technology that we're forgetting about the real world.
Maybe AI will solve all our problems. Maybe it'll usher in a new era of prosperity and peace. Or maybe it'll just make it easier for corporations to track our every move and sell us more crap we don't need. I'm leaning towards the latter.
It's all a bit dystopian, ain't it?
