Yeah I’d love to know where the money is actually going. Is it just an accounting thing? You could pay 40,000 people a quarter million a year!

  I think they're including what they would charge someone else for compute and traffic, if someone else ran Alexa.

    Thank you so I guess it’s partially an accounting thing and they aren’t actually shelling out 10B in cash on it.

    That makes sense. The credit card invoice with nearly 1 billion dollars every month must be the deal. :-D

  Just to train the ML models used in the NLU, ASR, and other ML-based platforms, I heard the number of $150m/year when I worked there.
