Instead, scammers made off with nearly $1M by spoon-feeding her a crime thriller plot starring fake marshals, dirty gold and suspicious cash pickups at her house. She eventually snapped, and helped bust the scammer herself with a Trojan money box.

The number of new Kuiper satellites Amazon just flung into orbit. These are batch two of a planned 3,236, and they’re not just for show. Bezos wants your internet to come from space, like Musk.

90 more days

That’s how long President Trump is giving TikTok before the ban hammer drops. Again. Yep, this is the third extension. The law still says ByteDance has to sell it to an American buyer. Big names like Amazon and Perplexity AI are sniffing around, but no deal yet. Oh, and those new tariffs? Not exactly speeding things up.

AI taking Amazon jobs: The CEO just warned that some of its workforce will be replaced in the future by AI. As more generative tools and agents roll out, certain tasks (think corporate) will be handled by tech instead of humans. The silver lining? It might also create new roles, maybe.

ICE sightings on Ring: I thought this was interesting. In Los Angeles, people are using Amazon’s Neighbors app to warn each other about possible ICE raids. They’re sharing photos and videos showing where agents were spotted and what vehicles they were driving, plus tagging posts with ice cube emojis.

In the past 2 years

The number of people using AI at work every day has doubled from 4% to 8%. White-collar employees are the main culprits, especially in tech, professional services and finance. The twist? Only 15% think AI will take their job in the next five years. Someone tell them what’s happening at Amazon.

Got an old Cloud Cam? Unplug it ASAP. Amazon shut down app support in 2022. If it’s still connected to the internet, hackers could break in and spy on you at home. The worst part? There’s no word yet how long this has been a risk. Appreciate the notice, Amazon … really.

🪙 Retail crypto grab: Walmart and Amazon are both reportedly exploring launching brand-backed crypto stablecoins. Insiders say it could let them ditch banks (and bank fees), process payments faster and soak up even more of your money. Finally, you can pay for eggs with Jeff Coins™.
