    Jeff represents every aspiring business person who is goal oriented, has clear vision, and who is enthusiastic about starting their business. The interviewer represents every doubting self-absorbed critic who think that they know better.

    Interviewer tries to satisfy speculators..

    what happended to his voice now, he sounds like a totally different person

  5. @levenmedia

    He almost seems like he's on drugs – but it's more likely just pure intensity and passion. He KNEW everything he was doing and he didn't care if the interviewer or anybody else thought differently. "That's bad math".

    Amazon's customer service (getting help with issue pre/post sale) is HORRIFIC. Chaining AI with scripted non-English speakers does not work. However, Amazon's customer experience is, by far, the best out there and everyone is copying them. It's insane that I can flick my thumb and press my index finger in my phone before bed, and have the item I bought in my doorstep the next morning.

  9. @endlessendless2391

    Customer experience is not the only thing, which matters. Employee treatment also matters. Amazon is exploiting their delivery drivers through DSPs forcing them to deliver in harsh conditions , discouraging them from calling in sick, which is why nobody should buy anything from Amazon.

    This singular focus by Jeff is why Amazon continues to be successful. This interviewer just didn’t get it.

    Wow, I am basically Jeff Bezos…

  17. @desimo147

    December 20, 2023 at 5:37 am

    You could just see the drive and determination within him during this interview to turn Amazon into what it is today. I bet he was working 100 hr weeks back in those days.

    Not sure who this interviewer was but what an idiot. He was looking for any angle to bring down Bezos and his business savy, and Bezos just kicked his a$$… I'm not a Bezos fan but he has created an empire from hard work and that I admire.

    The reason this guy is so rich is cause everyone bought from him even if its just one thing he got us to invest into his idea
    Even if it was just one item
    Everyone became his customer plus he moves kinda interesting just trying to get a simple idea across from the guy who just doesnt get it

CNBC Takes A First Look At Slate Auto’s $25,000 Modular Cars

Published

on

By



CNBC’s Michael Wayland takes a first look at electric vehicle startup Slate Auto’s modular $25,000 pick up trucks. The cars are affordable and basic, with features that buyers can customize. That includes turning the truck into an SUV. The vehicles had more than 150,000 refundable reservations before their release, despite waning consumer demand in EVs in the U.S. The company is about to find out if the truck can disrupt the market.

The Race To Power AI Is Reshaping America’s Electric Grid

Published

on

By



AI data centers are driving unprecedented demand for electricity and putting renewed pressure on America’s power grid to modernize its equipment and develop greener, more efficient sources of power. Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon are all spending millions of dollars on local infrastructure upgrades and companies like SpaceXAI are even building off-grid power plants to power their data centers.

Google says its planned 780-megawatt data center in Pine Island, Minnesota, could offer a model for powering the AI boom. In a proposed agreement with Xcel Energy, Google says it will support 1,900 megawatts of new wind, solar and battery capacity, while minimum payments and exit fees are intended to protect local ratepayers if demand falls short.

CNBC examines whether projects like Pine Island can make the grid cleaner without shifting costs to existing customers, why some energy experts argue that smaller data centers could make better use of infrastructure already in place, and how utilities’ financial incentives can complicate efforts to build less.

China’s Swagger After India’s iPhone 18 Leak

Published

By



A leak by Indian supplier Tata Electronics, purportedly of the yet-to-be-released iPhone 18 Pro models, has become marketing gold for the Chinese government. The Communist Party paper, The Global Times, is using the leak – caused by a cyberattack – as a cautionary tale for Apple and other American companies that are in the process of diversifying their supply chains away from China. CNBC’s Eunice Yoon reports.

00:58 Correction: The location tag should be Beijing, China.

Why There’s An ‘Extremely Fierce’ Battle For TSMC’s Limited Chip Manufacturing Capacity

Published

on

By



Unstoppable demand for AI is leading to a capacity crunch on factory lines at the world’s leading chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor. And it could put a chokehold on AI’s ability to scale. Analysts tell CNBC that Nvidia, Apple, Broadcom, AMD and others are locked in an “extremely fierce” competition to get their GPUs, CPUs and custom AI chips made at TSMC. Capacity can’t come online fast enough, despite TSMC’s rush to build new fabs in Taiwan, Japan and Arizona, where has expanded investment to $265 billion. The strain has made one man at TSMC “the most popular person on the planet,” as chip start-ups and big name CEOs visit Taiwan to ask him for wafer allocation. It’s also created a rich opportunity for Intel, as customers look to the long-struggling foundry arm of the U.S. chip manufacturer for a second source.
