That "leadership team" doesn't seem qualified to be working in this area.
- dalbasal 6y agoAubrey de Grey, heh? IDK... now I like it more. What he is qualified for is running this sort of effort. I just don't know what to call this sort of effort. Viento is a ‘moonshot’ nonprofit pioneering targeted weather security... by combining big data, forecasting breakthroughs and AI directed weather interventions... framed as "break glass in case of climate emergency." So... I don't like the idea. I do however, like the way he puts together moonshot projects, generally. Maybe this will evolve into something better. It's useful to have 0.X% of people working on tech, to be doing it in an environment that isn't standard academia or big tech.
- pineaux 6y agoElon musk wasn't qualified to build a rocket company. Still pretty succesful though.
- neolog 6y agoHe had Ivy-league degrees in physics and economics and two billion dollars. More importantly, he wasn't the whole leadership team: the CTO was a rocket engineer and the COO had other experience.
