Lol. Also lmao
Email screenshot: Hi Roland, Sailplane.ai, backed by AI kingmaker Khosla Ventures (OpenAI's first investor) and seed specialist True Ventures, is building a "self-driving cloud" - intelligent agents capable of autonomously managing the largest and most advanced AI infrastructure on the planet. Think "Waymo for cloud infrastructure".
I guess instead of βUber for Xβ the cool kids are building βWaymo for Xβ now?
I tried one of those car vs. bike calculators and with some pretty conservative assumptions it seems like the car comes out comfortably ahead on costs?
I mean, Some of My Best Friends are VC Guys, but you gotta admit this is kinda funny
I do not think this is well supported by evidence. It would be better to have fewer cars overall, but every study I've seen suggests that even if we just replace ICE vehicles with EVs, there are substantial benefits to air quality, including PM2.5 pollution

I agree executive turnover should probably be much higher at most companies. But I still think having an *interim* CEO specifically is usually downstream of some earlier governance failure.
Nice handlebar tape too
Is βone of the best β¦ a tech company could ask for as an interim CEOβ like βone of the best at complex residential mold remediation projects?β
Like, you probably want someone good, but even better not to find yourself in that position?
βWhile the board of directors and the company have nothing but praise for where Jack has taken us, we also agree that the best way forward is for Jack to step into the role Chairman, and for me to become CEO. Jack will remain on the board and be closely consulted for all strategic decisions, while I take on day-to-day operations with the support of Biz, Jason, Greg, and the rest of this impressive Twitter team.β
Reminded of how 2008 Twitter assured everyone that Jack would βbe closely consulted for all strategic decisionsβ for some reason

Read the last paragraph of this and then read Nick Bilton's βHatching Twitterβ...

I think it can often be cheaper in money and energy than having a messy fight in public.
And anyway there's always energy for corporate politics, eg 2008 Twitter making Dorsey βChairmanβ when they pushed him out as CEO
It's not bad even if it was the board's decision! and I do think that's the most likely explanation
I was at Pure for this, and it worked out fine for everyone, even though it absolutely was not Scott's idea (and they had a replacement queued up in advance)

this is absolutely not true, boards shunt CEOs into do-nothing roles with fancy titles all the time (not saying that's necessarily what happened here)
I mean how often do venture-backed startups hire a CEO from a cold application
Idk I feel this is the more common explanation

I mean yoooo what the fuck
Nah what it really proves is that the real value is in technical leadership
What opening CNBC.com and checking the markets feels like
More seriously, am I translating corporate speak correctly if I read βstepping down and being replaced by an investor on an interim basisβ as βfired by the board on short noticeβ?
I appreciate everyone thinking of me, but I must emphasize that I am not currently in any discussions for any role at bluesky

The fastest Apple M5 Max is ~150 TOPS (trillions of AI acceleration math operations per second), a single Nvidia B200 is something like 20,000 TOPS (and 192 GB of RAM!), and they ship them 72 in a rack.
one underappreciated fact is that there are like 100 βneocloudsβ out there right now that you can go to and run open weights models
Who's gonna margin call the US Treasury?
Perhaps also some well-tested software for storing and organizing data
I predict we'll see the rise of what you might call βframeworksβ that a specific application could be customized on top of
