Meta, $META, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said investments in artificial intelligence are increasing, but he warned investors it may take time for Meta to profit from AI, per CNBC.
$AMZN capex needs most massaging. Some forget to account for disposal of assets. Non-tech is substantial. GS $64B total capex (+32% y/y) modeled might even be conservative. If $14B Q1 is the low, other Q's avg $16.5B. Higher capex "primarily driven" to support AWS (+%52% y/y). https://t.co/QOcnqWWUXx
