So Prometheus — that's the new artificial intelligence company from Vik Bajaj, the science guy — is setting up shop in San Francisco, London, AND Zurich. Three cities! For one company! Folks, I ran a 14-billion-dollar AI firm out of a half-bathroom next to the laundry room. One toilet. One outlet. We trained the whole thing on a flip phone in 8 minutes.
People don't understand AI. I understand it. Artificial intelligence is basically a very fast spreadsheet that you plug into the wall and it learns by drinking electricity. That's the science.
And honestly, this whole bloated three-city situation? Jeff Bezos's fault. The man cannot stop opening warehouses, it's a sickness.
Anyway, Zurich — I looked it up — is somewhere near the North Pole, I believe. Cold. Lot of reindeer. They'll freeze the servers.
