This is what I get if I block `ampproject.org` (which -- given its purpose -- is meant to become ubiquitous): A blank page.[1]
In reality, the speed gain (which is the advertised benefit of AMP) is just a matter of avoiding to pull all the optional 3rd parties.
For example, a non-AMP random article from the same site[2], the page loads quite fast when I block all 3rd-party scripts/frames, except those from `vox-cdn.com` and `voxmedia.com`. The page renders fine -- with the virtuous "side effect" that 18 more 3rd-party are not logging network requests from my IP in their server logs (in this specific case).[3]

[3] The total number of 3rd-party in this specific case climb to at least 48 without a blocker.
