Are you sure this isn't being funded by our taxes? How many data centers are being built in areas where they have been given a huge tax break? How many banks are loaning money for AI infrastructure knowing that they'll be bailed out by taxpayers if they fail?

A tax break isn't funding. Saying we'll take slightly less of your money is not giving money.

Either way, I don't know what this has to do with Amazon getting workers to use AI more, which is what my comment was addressing.

  • You're forgetting that taxes pay for government services, and those corporations consume government services as well. Give them a big enough tax break and it'll end up at a net negative.
