After stepping down as Amazon’s CEO four years ago, Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder and former chief executive of the online shopping company, is going to be a CEO again. This time, Bezos has appointed himself co-CEO of an AI startup called Project Prometheus, the New York Times reported, citing anonymous sources.
The startup, which will focus on developing AI for engineering and manufacturing in various fields, has already received $6.2bn in funding – more than many companies are able to raise in their lifetimes. Leading the company alongside Bezos is his co-founder and co-CEO Vik Bajaj, a celebrity tech executive in his own right. Bajaj is a physicist and chemist best known for his work at Google’s moonshot factory, X, where he founded the health startup Verily.
Oh man I wish. Let’s get it over with already lol
Except for the fact that the entire global economy will likely take a huge shit.
I feel like we’re probably screwed either way at this point. Everything seems to just be getting more expensive with no end in sight. Maybe it’s me being bitter, but I would at least like to see the billionaires money burn a little lol. Unfortunately, no matter what happens they’ll be ok, and everyone else suffers regardless, so idk.
