We just got Amazon’s holiday gift guide in the mail. On page four, under “Toys we love,” my wife immediately spotted the new Amazon Prime Delivery Van Ride-On.
It’s real. But strangely, it doesn’t seem to include a Teamsters union card, a biometric consent form for mandatory AI surveillance, or a pee bottle?
In August, the NLRB decided Amazon can’t just point the finger at its contractors when there’s a labor dispute over, say, pee bottles or AI surveillance — Amazon counts as an employer of its delivery drivers too.

We want our kids to grow up in a world that’s better than this one. I grew up in an awesome world for developers and opportunity, the early days of Apple II computers and PCs, and anybody growing up, coming of age in this industry right now, is best case going to be an Apple and Google serf. That has to change. That must change.
Not surprising to hear the man behind “Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite” say this, but it really does encapsulate his war with the tech industry. More on the latest lawsuit here.
Not as fast as Epic might have hoped — it’s targeting 100 million by the end of the year — but CEO Tim Sweeney tells journalists that goal is still “totally achievable.”
Meanwhile, it’s suing Samsung and Google over the “Auto Blocker” feature that, by default, stops users from installing that store on new Samsung phones.
