So we now have one AI startup run by Jeff Bezos and another AI startup run by Beff Jezos. What a weird timeline.

Amazon itself has become so corrupted and disfunctional that all of their internal AI efforts amount to just burning billions for bottom-of-the-barrel results[0]. I'm not surprised that 5 person startups are building better AI products than all of Amazon, or that Bezos decided to start an AI company outside of Amazon.

It's really not surprising. AWS is definitely absolutely now in the category of "too big to fail". And the fact that there's an entire AWS region for US government classified stuff just underscores that.

Becoming TBTF has a very corrosive effect on organizations.

I wasn't referring to Amazon as the other AI startup. I was referring to another guy who is known by the name "Beff Jezos", who runs Extropic.

Oh! That is indeed strange. I bet Beff gets some interesting emails…

Expect a third soon. Bezos really wants to have another hit.

I wasn't referring to Amazon. There's actually another person called "Beff Jezos" who runs an AI startup called Extropic.

I think it’s great that there will be more competition in the space, not to mention more hiring, etc.
