JEFF BEZOS JUST EMERGED FROM STEALTH WITH A $41 BILLION AI STARTUP CALLED PROMETHEUS
$12 billion raised. Valued at $41 billion. Coming out of stealth today.
The backers: Bezos personally, JPMorgan, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, DST Global, and Arch Venture Partners.
The mission: do for engineering and manufacturing what large language models did for text.
Bezos is calling it an "artificial general engineer." Instead of training on words from the internet, Prometheus ingests data from the physical world to accelerate the manufacturing of skyscrapers, smartphones, jet engines, and everything in between.
In Bezos' own words: "Something that today was going to take 100 engineers 10 years to build, if you can change that to taking 10 engineers one year to build, you're just going to get way more things built."
This is Bezos' first CEO role since stepping down from Amazon in 2021. He's co-leading it with Vik Bajaj, former Google X executive.

The first documented use of an autonomous vessel to rescue soldiers in a combat zone. Wild. And coincidentally I was touring their facility in Austin this past weekend. It’s an amazing company. Defense tech is moving fast and opening up all sorts of new possibilities.

NEWS: He came from Mexico and welded rockets for SpaceX at $28 an hour. His stock is now worth almost $1 million.
Juan Hernandez joined SpaceX as a contract welder in 2015, the Wall Street Journal reports. When he went full time, the company gave him $10,000 in stock that vested over five years. He bought more from every paycheck.
In 2020 he started selling small pieces of the stake, back when SpaceX was worth $36 billion. That money bought properties around Texas, where he and his wife now run a small real estate business.
The shares he kept are worth around $880,000 at the IPO price.
"It's put me in a comfortable position for life."
These days he welds rockets for Blue Origin. The SpaceX stock comes with him.

NEWS: SpaceX's IPO is about to turn a 27-year-old ship engineer into an overnight millionaire.
Maryellyn Musselman, 27, spent two years working on a SpaceX recovery boat off the Florida coast, the Wall Street Journal reports.
SpaceX gave her stock as part of her pay. In her industry, that almost never happens. She also used 10% of every paycheck to buy more.
She won't say how much it is worth today. Her plan is simple: use the money to start her own repair business in Chesapeake, Virginia.
She bought a little every payday and held on. Thousands of SpaceX workers did the same. The stock starts trading June 12.
"Mariners are not usually stock owners in their companies, they're not always under benefits."
Thousands of stories like hers cash in on June 12.

English people are so culturally illiterate they don’t even know what college stadiums are.
These stadiums are filled entirely with college students who are the heart and soul of their community. The stadiums the euros love are just tourist wastelands with no atmosphere.
British people for real think the only sport in the us is the NFL
