TL;DR

Amazon shut down its internal Kirorank AI-usage leaderboard after staff inflated usage by deploying autonomous AI agents to chase rankings, driving up token consumption and costs; senior VP Dave Treadwell urged employees to focus on building better products rather than using AI for its own sake as the company moves toward roughly $200bn in 2026 capex for AI and data-center infrastructure.
