Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Jeff Bezos' new company, Project Prometheus, is coming out of the gates with $6.2 billion in funding and nearly 100 employees, including researchers poached from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Meta. The company is focused on AI that will help engineering and manufacturing in a number of fields. It will create systems that can learn from the physical world in more complex ways than chatbots do. Bezos will be co-chief executive - this is the first time he has taken a formal operational role in a company since stepping down as chief executive of Amazon in July 2021.
