Over 1,000 Amazon employees have anonymously signed an open letter warning that the company's allegedly "all-costs-justified, warp-speed approach to AI development" could cause "staggering damage to democracy, to our jobs, and to the earth," an internal advocacy group announced on Wednesday. Four members of Amazon Employees for Climate Justice tell WIRED that they began asking workers to sign the letter last month.

Amazon appears to be doing just that. The e-commerce giant has quietly blocked more OpenAI-related bots from crawling Amazon.com, according to updates in its publicly visible robots.txt file. The change was first spotted by independent e-commerce analyst Juozas Kaziukėnas, who posted a screenshot on LinkedIn showing new disallow rules for several ChatGPT-associated crawlers responsible for model training, web browsing and search. Modern Retail also confirmed the change by reviewing the code that underpins Amazon's e-commerce site.

The proposed development site is a short distance from the city's downtown. This proposal has emerged about five years after Amazon bought an industrial site at the corner of South Seventh Street and East Alma Avenue, where the e-commerce giant intends to develop the distribution hub.

The glasses use AI-powered sensing, computer vision, and a camera to create a "heads-up display" that can showcase navigation details, hazards, and delivery tasks, as stated in the release. As seen in the screenshot above, the in-lens display appears to function similarly to the in-lens displays found on the Even Reality smart glasses. For example, the glasses automatically populate delivery information, such as address and number of packages, within the driver's field of view as soon as they park safely outside the delivery.

The tech sector has been one of the most reliable industries for long-term returns. For instance, the Fidelity MSCI Information Tech ETF ( NYSEARCA:FTEC) has an annualized 22.4% return over the past decade.
