    Are we talking the Cybersyn that was conceptualized or the Cybersyn that was actually built? In both cases not really, it was meant as a coordinating and regulating system for the entire (state-run) economy, not just a string of warehouses with an e-commerce front-end. While amazon does some amazing adaptive planning with neural nets they aren't really planning on a grander scope than putting the maximum amount of assorted parcels in a truck. It's for sure an exceedingly complex supply chain that has to be more adaptively navigated than thoroughly planned, but Cybersyn was trying to do that for all of the things - and make these processes steerable towards any desired goal. Of course, with only like 400 telex machines and one ibm mainframe, they didn't exactly meet these goals within the 2 years before the coup. For all it's shortcommings (and in part because of them), Cybersyn was still successfully utilized to break a CIA-instigated trucker strike by diverting resources from striking companies towards those without strikes, so... Make of that what you will.
