So we now have one AI startup run by Jeff Bezos and another AI startup run by Beff Jezos. What a weird timeline.
- reactordev 11mo agoExpect a third soon. Bezos really wants to have another hit.
- epicureanideal 11mo agoI think it’s great that there will be more competition in the space, not to mention more hiring, etc.
- baobabKoodaa 11mo agoI wasn't referring to Amazon. There's actually another person called "Beff Jezos" who runs an AI startup called Extropic.
- googlywoogly 11mo agoAmazon 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.

- octoberfranklin 11mo agoIt'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.
- baobabKoodaa 11mo agoI 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.
- philipallstar 11mo agoReal name Guillaume Verdon
- reactordev 11mo agoOh! That is indeed strange. I bet Beff gets some interesting emails…
