    I’m consistently amazed at how many of these startups I’ve never heard of, and appear to have no product, are worth tens of billions. This really is a dotcom money party.

    If I were rich already I think I’d want to work at the most interesting place with the highest likelihood of success for reaching AGI.

    It’s hard to not think that all the money which was clawed back in recent tech layoffs is now being burned in yet another billionaire ego contest.
