by

According to A FORBES investigationAmazon would be deploying an aggressive commercial strategy to position themselves in the market of the Police surveillance technologya segment valued at 11,000 million dollars, according to the medium. The company would not only be offering its own artificial surveillance and intelligence tools, but also act as an intermediary for a complete ecosystem of companies that operate on their cloud infrastructure AWS. What is happening. Electronic Correos obtained by Forbes through requests from public records reveal That the Amazon police and school security team, led, according to the media, by a former Washington state police officer, is actively contacting police departments throughout the US west coast.

A whole Surveillance Catalog. According to They report From the middle, among the technologies that Amazon has been offering, there are registration monitoring systems of FLOCK Safety, Zeroyes weapons detection software, applications for real -time surveillance centers of companies such as C3 AI, or Veritone technology capable of identifying and tracking individuals in recordings of security cameras and social networks. Leo Technologies tools also appear that monitor and transcribe calls from practically “real -time” prisoners for AI analysis. The method of sale. As They assure From Forbes, emails show a particularly insistent commercial style. In one of them, a Amazon manager writes to the department of the San Diego County Sheriff on Lucidus Tech (company now owned by Flock). “It is one of the most amazing tools that I have seen for the forces of the order (…) I think that your prison intelligence group would lose your head,” you could read in the investigation.

Amazon new do not compete against Google Home. Compete against indifference

by

A decade ago, Alexa was the future. Today, when we talk about conversational and chatbots, we mentioned ChatgptClaude, Grok or Gemini. Traditional voice assistants (I also look at you, Siri) have become something that simply exists, such as microwave: limitedly useful, but forgotten, cornered. Amazon has just presented four new echo devices: Echo Dot Max with serious three times more powerful. Echo Studio redesigned. Echo Show 8 and 11 with screens of more than one million pixels and 13 MP cameras. Yes, but. The improvements are real and measurable. The problem is that many fewer people are paying attention to ten years ago. Alexa has gone from being a revolutionary promise to a kitchen stopwatch with voice and music. We ask songs, we put alarms, little more. The narrative was exhausted. The context. The voice assistant industry It has been stagnant for years in the same basic functionalities. Meanwhile, Chatgpt has demonstrated what a real conversational means: maintain context, reason, surprise. Users already know that there is something better, even if they don’t have it in their living room. Amazon promises that these devices “feel the bases” to Alexa+its assistant with generative. In Spain there is still no arrival date for those advanced functions. It is the usual promise: Wait, the best is yet to come. The big question. Can an improved spherical speaker change habits that we carry dragging a decade? The factor in form is the same. The activation gesture, identical. The user’s expectation about what Alexa does. Between the lines. Amazon does not need only more powerful or microphones chips that better detect the activation word. We need to stop seeing Alexa as another appliance and imagine it again as something that can change how we live. That is not fixed with deeper serious. The battle is no longer against Google Home or Siri. It is against the indifference of users who learned years ago what they can expect from a voice assistant and stopped waiting for more. Amazon has the hardware. He lacks the reason for us. In Xataka | The announcement of the new Alexa hides an awkward truth: the silent sunset of the Solo-Voz interface Outstanding image | Xataka

The key to the new speakers and Amazon screens is in the design

by

At home, the practical usually wins. That’s why speakers and smart screens They have gone into the kitchen, in the living room or in the office: they upload the music while we cook, put a timer when we need it, they call who we want or turn off the lights when we are already on the couch. If we are thinking of starting or updating what we have, the key is not only “better sound”, but how it integrates into our routines and how much the little things of the day simplify us. New York has been the chosen stage to present the next wave of speakers and smart screens Echo de Amazon. We talked about Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11, all with potential improvements, design and voice process. The company insists that this generation feels the basis for the future of Alexa+its assistant with generative, although for the moment in Spain we will have to wait to know when these functions will be available. Echo Dot Max: Two speakers, best sound The Echo Dot Max is the first model of its range to incorporate two speakers and arrives with a clear promise: serious almost three times more powerful than the previous generation. Amazon explains that he completely redesigned the acoustic systemintegrating the speakers directly into the housing to double the air space and get a deeper sound. The result is a compact device, but with an improved volume and sharpness. It is a model combines a WOOFER capable of producing deep serious with three complete range speakers oriented to project sound in all directions. Is compatible with technologies such as Dolby Atmos and space audio, designed to create an immersive experience at home. All this in a spherical design with quality materials and a new visual language that accompanies the classic light ring. One of the outstanding novelties is the possibility of setting up a system of home cinema With several Echo speakers. You can combine up to five units of Echo Studio or Echo Dot Max next to a compatible SITIC Fire TV, and Alexa is responsible for synchronizing them and automatically adjusting them to space. The idea is to offer an enveloping sound without complex facilities or expensive equipment. Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11: screen with best aesthetics The new Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11 stand out first for their aesthetics, but especially for the screen. Amazon explains that they have used a high density panel with more than one million pixels, which together with the In-Cell design and the negative liquid crystal, allows to reduce reflexes and optimize visibility in different lighting conditions. They also include a 13 MP camera for calls, with which they seek to improve the sharpness of the image against previous models. In the audio section, the new Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11 premiere a renewed architecture. They have frontal stereo speakers and a WOOFER personalized, which according to Amazon translates into a plus enveloping space sound. The drivers are placed under the floating screen and project the audio directly to the user, with the idea of ​​achieving greater clarity and presence compared to previous generations. Next to the screens, Amazon has launched a specific accessory: an adjustable base designed for the Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11. Its design is aligned with the color and finish of the devices, and allows the screen angle to vary to improve visibility in different positions. Custom processors In the heart of this new generation are two custom chips: AZ3 and Az3 Pro. The Echo Dot Max incorporates the first, with improvements in the detection of the word of activation and in the clarity of the microphones, which according to Amazon they achieve an almost a precision 50% higher compared to previous models. The Echo Studio and Echo Show 8 and 11 integrate the Az3 Pro, which expands these functions and adds support for more advanced language models and computer vision capabilities. On this hardware, Omnisense is supported, the Amazon sensor platform designed for what the company calls “environmental AI”. It resorts to the 13 MP camera combination in the Echo Show, microphones, ultrasound, Wi -Fi radar, accelerometer and network signals to adapt Alexa’s responses to the context. The idea is that the assistant can anticipate and offer more personalized and proactive interactions. Amazon stresses that this new family Echo is compatible with Alexa+your assistant proposal with generative. The company ensures that the devices are ready to take advantage of these functions, but clarifies that in markets such as Spain there is still no confirmed calendar for its arrival. Price and availability of the new Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11 The four new Echo devices can already be reserved and will be available before the end of the year.

Jeff Bezos asked his parents for savings from his life to found Amazon. They only asked him one question: “What is the Internet?

by

In 1995, Jeff Bezos decided give up your stable job and well paid as an analyst on Wall Street to set up a book sales business online. At that time, Jeff Bezos was not the millionaire who is today, so he went to see his parents and asked them for help to invest in Amazon. His father’s first question was clear and direct: “What is the Internet?” Miguel and Jacklyn Bezos did not know much about that new technology, but they knew that their son was determined to squeeze it to the maximum. According to the writer Brad Stone in the book “The dream store. Jeff Bezos and the Amazon era“Bezos warned his parents:” There is a 70 % chance that you will lose everything. I just want to make sure I can return home for thanksgiving if this doesn’t work. “ Without hesitation, the Bezos invested a good part of the savings of their entire life in their son’s project. Today, that initial investment has grown 15,500% And it is worth more than the GDP of Iceland and Maldives together, making their father so rich (his mother died a few weeks ago) that, as he counted The Wall Street JournalMiguel Bezos is hiring a CEO to administer the assets of his Family Office. The origin of a historical fortune In the middle of the nineties, Mike Bezos, of Cuban origin and with family ties in a Small Valladolid municipalityhe decided to trust family savings to his son Jeff and, incidentally, becoming the first investors after the Amazon Foundation. According to documents Of the US Stock and Stock Exchange Commission (SEC), the initial investment of the Bezos was through the purchase of 582,528 Amazon shares to, only a few months later, expand your investment by buying 847,716 more shares. In total, 1,430,244 shares at a purchase price of 17 cents per share. That leaves a total investment of 243,141.48. Such and as it revealed Bloombergit is a fortune for a couple formed by a single mother who had to raise her son alone with a poor salary while studying A race, and a Cuban immigrant who arrived in the US with 16 years. After thirty years, if the initial investment had remained intact, it would amount to about 72.6 billion dollars. However, after different sales and donations of shares, the family heritage of Jeff Bezos’s parents exceeds 40,000 million dollars. CEO is sought for fortune According to The Estimates of The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, Aurora Borealisthe company that is responsible for managing the heritage of Miguel Bezos, was founded in 2020 and, if it were a person, would take 48 position among the greatest fortunes of the List of Millionaires of Forbes. Aurora Borealis, is currently one of the Family officers most relevant in the world for its heritage volume. The company manages assets of very diverse kinds, from those foundational actions of Amazon to investments in funds and projects of philanthropy through the Bezos Family Foundation. The growing heritage of the father of Jeff Bezos has reached levels that have become necessary to professionalize the team that manages it from Aurora Borealis, Speaking as CEO To Valeria Alberola, an executive with experience in the management of great heritage. As a reference, the new Amazon Fortuna Fortuna manager managed the Family Office of the Walton familyfounders and owners of the Wallmart supermarket chain. His goal, get Miguel “Mike” Bezos even richer. The history of Miguel Bezos’ fortune is not only relevant for facilitating the foundation of one of the world’s largest companies, it is also a unique phenomenon since it is not usual for a family loan of just under $ 244,000, ends up making millionaires to the founder’s parents, and not to external investors. Was A risky bet That he went well, but he could also have left Jeff Bezos banished from thanksgiving dinners and his parents with a serious economic problem.

Amazon is so convinced of the future of augmented reality glasses that he will put one to all his drivers

by

Amazon intends to get on to the car of augmented reality glasses With a two -step strategy: a model for consumers and another specifically designed for their distributors. And is that According to sources Near to the company, its intention would be to manufacture 100,000 units of the professional model to launch it in 2026, while the commercial version would arrive between 2026 and early 2027. The fashion device. As the medium points out The InformationAmazon would have decided to enter the market of augmented reality with two differentiated products but with the same base technology. Consumer glasses, with a “Jayhawk” key name, would include microphone, speakers, camera and a full color screen in one eye. For its part, the model for distributors, internally called “Amelia”, will have a more robust design and will be focused on showing instructions on where to deliver the packages directly on the glasses screen. There is competition. The play would place Amazon in direct competition with goal, which next week will present at its Connect conference a new version of its increased reality glasses. Goal already markets The smart Ray-Ban From 329 euros, which include its assistant to AI, audio and camera, but without screen. The new Meta S glasses, with a “Hypernova” code name, would also have a screen in a single eye, according to sources in the sector. Meanwhile, Chinese companies such as Xreal, Rokid and Rayneo already sell glasses to the public, and Google also works for similar prototypes, which We could try during the past Google I/O. Between the lines. Amazon’s decision to first develop a specific model for its workers reveals a strategy that would first go to use its own logistics infrastructure as a test bank before an alleged commercial launch. This would allow you to improve technology in a controlled environment and demonstrate specific use cases. Also, according to The informationAmazon would be using screens technology from the Chinese company Meta-Bounds, which already use brands like Meizu on their AR devices. The technical challenges. Unlike virtual reality glasses, which completely block the vision of the real world, they argue digital information about the user’s physical environment. Amazon would have opted for a screen in a single eye to reduce costs and complexity, although this makes the experience less immersive than double screen models. The consumer version will be more stylized and less voluminous than the professional model but, according to points The medium, both would share base technology. And now what. The success of this great bet will be decided by acceptance among its distributors, the battery life, the accuracy of the instructions and their software and, above all, if Amazon manages to create a user experience superior to that of the competition. The good thing is that the company has the perfect testing field to prove the technology before a massive deployment to the commercial public.

Google, Amazon and Microsoft have been burning absurd amounts of money in Ia for years. Finally they begin to see green sprouts

by

The AI boom made Big Tech will increase their capital spending to limits that had never been seen. The fear that The bubble will explode Rondaba, investors They started to get nervous and the profitability of AI remains in doubt. The last results are a green outbreak, the first in a long time, although with many buts. The cloud reaches capex. They tell it in The Information. Capital or Capex expenses of the Big Tech in recent years have climbed unstoppable, much faster than their income, but in the results of the last quarter the gap is finally closing, but not because chatbots and other products are being profitable, but thanks to revenue from cloud services. The crazy one is committed to AI is beginning to show a slight green outbreak, even if it is not directly because of AI products. Income from cloud services are approaching capital spending. Source: The Information (click on the image to access X) The four riders. There are two clear winners of the departure, one that already brought the duties done and one that goes free. Let’s see who is who: Microsoft: The clear winner with a Income increase of 25% In the last quarter, mainly thanks to the growth of Microsoft Azure. Google: Record a 20% increase In your income thanks to Google Cloud and advertising. Amazon: falls 7%but it is the only one that was in positive numbers. Amazon Web Services is the largest provider of cloud services and was already profitable, although its growth is beginning to slow down. Goal: Your income grows 22%but they basically come from advertising. Goal does not sell cloud services, so it does not generate income directly. Indirectly, yes: AI has allowed them Improve the efficiency of your advertising business. Burning money. The increase in capex by AI has reached madness figures that had never been seen in other technological booms. By the end of 2024 we talked about investing a real barbarity In data centers: Microsoft 30,000 million, Goal 35,000 million, Google 25,000 million… The dizziness figures, and have not stopped increasing. Amazon said at the beginning of the year that He wanted to spend 100,000 million in data centers for AI and goal is building several data centers whose combined cost could rise to 200,000 million dollars. Skepticism. This excessive spending frenzy soon unleashed a wave of skepticism. AND If AI is another bubble And is it about to explode? Milmillionaire investments are not translating in income. Even Satya Nadella himself, one of the protagonists of this revolution, was skeptical because At the moment no one is making gold with AI. It is not that they are not making gold, it is that nobody is earning money. In their newsletter, Ed Zitron had accounts And the difference between what is expected to spend in 2025 and the return that is giving them the AI is not that it is a reason to doubt, it is directly no sense: Capex planned in 2025 BENEFITS IN IA IN 2025 Microsoft 80,000 million 13,000 million Google 75,000 million 7.7 billion Amazon 105,000 million 5,000 million goal 72,000 million 3,000 million Green outbreak Yes, in singular. The latest results are hopeful, but we are very far from being able to say that AI is a profitable business, especially As far as generative AI is concerned. Good results are thanks to cloud services, chatbots or audio or video generators are not profitable. Subscriptions to these tools are a way to monetize, but The income they generate is child compared to spending. Despite doubts, unbridled expense has not stopped and this green outbreak can be more than enough for investors to continue throwing banknotes to the AI well.
