Amazon's move may take down Instacart and consumers could benefit
If a service like Instacart or Same Day Amazon had existed when my kids were young, life would have been so, so much easier. There would have been no stress upon realizing I was out of milk, bread, or just about any other essential, because I could have had the items delivered to my house or to my car when I pulled up to the grocery store. Instead, when I was low on needed groceries, it meant loading the kids into the car and hauling them to the store. Ugh. Don't miss the move: SIGN UP for TheStreet's FREE Daily newsletter Now my kids drive themselves to get whatever food they need, so that stress is gone. And when I don't have time to get to the store, I just order groceries on Instacart. Honestly, it's magic. At first I was skeptical that the Instacart shopper would choose produce that would be up to my standards, but I'd give the service a solid "A" so far. For the last couple of years I've generally picked up the groceries at my local grocer but have also had orders delivered. Delivery is quickly becoming my preference because, convenience. Image source:Now, Amazon is stepping up its grocery game, too, offering same-day delivery of fresh groceries to customers in more than 1,000 U.S. cities and towns, with plans to expand to over 2,300 municipalities by the end of the year. For consumers, the move offers a new level of convenience in online grocery shopping - and it signals a potential shake-up in the industry. Same-day delivery has long been a key differentiator in e-commerce, but it has taken decades to become widespread. Online grocery delivery first emerged in the late 1990s with services like Webvan and Peapod, which offered home delivery but faced high costs and logistical challenges that limited adoption. More retail: Costco quietly gives Apple buyers better deals and perks$4 Trader Joe's bags are going viral (again), so grab one while you canStarbucks' latest closure is another hit for an embattled city Plus, those options were limited to certain cities. In the 2010s, as smartphones and apps became ubiquitous, major retailers such as Walmart, Kroger, and Target began offering delivery and curbside pickup, and third-party services like Instacart expanded rapidly. Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods in 2017 further accelerated growth, combining physical stores with online ordering. Then came the pandemic. Lockdowns and social distancing triggered an explosion in online grocery shopping - I'm sure I'm not the only one who had to wait in line to get into my local Trader Joe's or Raley's because the stores limited the number of people who could be in the store at any one time. From 2020 to 2022, contactless delivery became a necessity for millions of households, pushing same-day and next-day grocery delivery into the mainstream. Today Amazon, Walmart, Instacart, Kroger, and DoorDash all offer fast, reliable delivery of both perishable and nonperishable items, making convenience a central focus of the grocery market. Related: Walmart gives employees a generous new perk The recent announcement from Amazon, bringing same-day delivery of fresh groceries, is a major milestone in this trend. Customers can now order items such as produce, meat, dairy, and pantry staples and receive them within hours. For busy households or those looking to minimize trips to the store, the service is a godsend. According to the Amazon announcement: Instacart's pricing structure is a little more complicated, since the cost varies depending on whether you're a member. Membership costs $99 per year or $9.99 monthly. Members get free delivery on orders over $35 and reduced service fees. The Amazon announcement sent ripples through the stock market. Instacart built its business around grocery delivery and saw its shares drop more than 11% the day Amazon made the news. Other grocery and delivery companies - including Kroger, Walmart, Albertsons, Uber, and DoorDash - experienced smaller declines, all under 5%. The market reaction highlights how Amazon's expansion could reshape the grocery delivery landscape. Instacart has been working to evolve beyond its original model, positioning itself as an omnichannel technology provider and retail media network. Features like "smart carts" help grocers and advertisers connect with shoppers online and in-store. Still, the company relies heavily on grocery delivery, making it vulnerable to Amazon's growing e-commerce reach. For consumers, the expansion is largely positive. The competition should improve service times could offer potential cost savings. Shoppers may see new promotions, loyalty perks, and technology-driven conveniences such as improved delivery tracking and personalized shopping experiences. Amazon's same-day grocery delivery expansion builds on a decades-long evolution of online grocery shopping, offering unprecedented convenience and faster access to fresh foods. At the same time, it intensifies competition across the sector, signaling a rapidly changing market where only the most agile players will thrive.

Sam Altman's latest delusional AI prediction doesn't pass the test
Artificial intelligence has come a long way since OpenAI introduced the world to ChatGPT 3.5 in late 2022. The release of the large language model sets the stage for an AI revolution that the world is still trying to understand. AI has many more uses than running large language models (LLMs), and the business world is already using the advanced technology to transform e-commerce (like when Amazon uses AI to recommend products), automotive navigation (AI underpins the autonomous technology most car companies use), robotics, and image generation. Related: Tesla's biggest strength has suddenly become a liability ChatGPT, specifically, has been especially disruptive to education. Enterprising students have used ChatGPT to enhance their studies and reduce research time, while other students have just used the technology to cheat. But OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman says children born today will never be able to surpass the "intelligence" of his products. Sam Altman believes we are living in a technological Stone Age that will have future generations snickering at how bad we had it. "A kid born today will never be smarter than AI, ever. And a kid born today, by the time that kid kind of understands the way the world works, will just always be used to an incredibly fast rate of things improving and discovering new science," Altman said in a recent interview floating around on social media. Related: Economists send harsh message to White House over BLS nominee "They will never know any other world. It will seem totally natural. It will seem unthinkable and stone-age-like that we used to use computers or phones or any kind of technology that was not way smarter than we were." The citizens of his mythical future will eventually pity us lowly non-AI users. "We will think like, 'how bad those people of the 2020s had it,'" Altman added. The beauty of Altman's prediction is that he can be proven right in multiple ways. The tech could become so advanced and helpful that humans literally can't live without it, or children could become so slavish to LLMs like ChatGPT in the future that they become reliant on it to perform the simplest tasks. Last year, Turnitin's AI detection tool scanned over 200 million writing assignments and detected AI use in one in 10 assignments. However, only three out of every 100 assignments were primarily generated by AI. "We hit a steady state, and it hasn't changed dramatically since then," said Turnitin Chief Product Officer Annie Chechitelli. "There are students who are leaning on AI too much. But it's not pervasive. It wasn't this, 'The sky is falling.'" But Altman expects AI adoption to only increase in the near future, so the number of students using the tech to cheat will likely also increase. Harvard Graduate School of Education recently published a report on the use of AI by teens and young adult students. When asked what they wanted adults to know about AI, the kids said that AI is not just used to cheat, but is also helpful for finding answers to unasked questions. But 41% of the kids today (not the ones in Altman's future) said they are "acutely aware" of the potential issues with generative AI. "Across demographics, those surveyed also expressed fears about AI's impact on their future job markets, especially the creative pursuits they mentioned above. They also highlighted potential privacy concerns, and generative AI's use to create and spread misinformation and disinformation," the report said. So it appears Sam Altman and company have some work to do to create the future they seem to believe is inevitable.

2 Soaring Tech Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Next Decade
Key Points Microsoft is well on its way to dethroning Amazon in the ever-expanding cloud market. Oracle's autonomous database business is booming, and it sees further room for growth. 10 stocks we like better than Microsoft › Investors looking for winning stock ideas for the next decade need to look no further than the companies enabling artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. The recent financial results of leading companies serving the cloud computing market show that enterprise investment in AI is still in the early stages. Here are two stocks to profit from this opportunity. 1. Microsoft Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is the 800-pound gorilla in the cloud services market. While Amazon continues to control the top spot in market share, Microsoft Azure is growing faster and is on pace to eventually overtake the No. 1 position in the cloud market. Microsoft stock is up 26% year to date. Azure and other cloud services from Microsoft posted a 39% year-over-year increase in revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter (which ended in June). Management credits its growing footprint of over 400 data centers in 70 regions around the world for its momentum. The company is further bolstering its competitive position with tools like Microsoft Fabric. This is a data and analytics platform that is rapidly expanding. Revenue grew 55% year over year last quarter, indicating that Microsoft is positioned to capture demand for AI-driven database services. Microsoft generates $281 billion in annual revenue right now, yet management noted that there is $368 billion worth of contracted backlog across its cloud business. With a company this large growing earnings per share at 24% year over year in the recent quarter, it's possible that Wall Street is still underestimating the size of the AI opportunity. Analysts are projecting low-double-digit earnings growth over the next few years, but that might be underestimating the company's opportunity. Microsoft has delivered excellent returns for investors for many years, and that streak doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon. 2. Oracle Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) is another top tech stock to ride the growing investment in cloud services. Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure business is experiencing explosive growth, which sent the stock to new highs after its fiscal Q4 earnings report in June. "In Q4, we hit double-digit revenue growth and it's only going up from here," CEO Safra Catz said during the earnings call. Oracle has been building up its cloud offering for over a decade, and it's paying off. Companies are choosing Oracle for its market-leading database services to leverage autonomous features. Autonomous database consumption revenue grew 47% year over year, accelerating from 27% growth in the year-ago quarter. Beginning in fiscal 2026, management expects growth to accelerate. Company guidance calls for total cloud revenue growth to be over 40% in constant currency, with cloud infrastructure growth of over 70%, which includes the autonomous database business. Oracle is playing an important role in enabling the AI revolution across the economy. This is evidenced by its participation in the Stargate Project with OpenAI, which aims to build state-of-the-art AI infrastructure in the U.S. The revenue expected from Stargate should at least marginally contribute to Oracle's growth over the next decade. For what it's worth, Wall Street analysts expect Oracle's adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings to grow at an annualized rate of 19% through fiscal 2030. Oracle is an industry-leading cloud database provider with a large suite of enterprise applications. It has a long history of delivering solid returns to investors, with the stock up over 500% in the last decade. With growth accelerating due to AI, it should continue to reward shareholders.
