🚨JUST IN: Jeff Bezos is still Amazon's chairman. But he quietly started a secret AI company on the side. Google, OpenAI, Tesla, and DeepMind employees are joining him. They have already raised $6.2 billion. Now they want another $6 billion. And nobody is talking about it. Here is what is going on. The company is called Project Prometheus. Bezos is the co-CEO. His first real job since leaving Amazon in 2021. His co-founder is Vikram Bajaj, a guy who came out of Google X and helped start Verily, which is basically Google's life sciences division. These two are not building another chatbot. They are building AI for the physical world. Factories. Semiconductors. Defense. Aerospace. Think less ChatGPT, more robots running your entire supply chain. And the people they are hiring? It is kind of insane. Kyle Kosic, who co-founded Elon Musk's xAI in 2023, then went back to OpenAI, just left OpenAI to join Bezos. OpenAI refused to comment on it They acquired an entire AI startup called General Agents. Both founders came from DeepMind, Tesla, and OpenAI The rest of the team is pulled from Microsoft, Meta, Anthropic, Nvidia, and Grammarly Offices already open in San Francisco, London, and Zurich This is not a normal startup. This is Bezos building a dream team like he is assembling the Avengers of AI. $6.2 billion raised last year. Now raising $6 billion more. And on top of that, they are in talks for a separate $100 million fund just to buy manufacturing companies outright. That is over $12 billion before most people even know this company exists. And the competition is just as wild. Yann LeCun, Meta's AI chief, left and started a company in Paris that raised $1 billion in Europe's largest ever seed round. Fei-Fei Li, basically the godmother of modern AI, raised another $1 billion for her company called World Labs. Wall Street Journal says global funding for physical AI hit $26.7 billion in just the first two months of this year. Everyone in Silicon Valley is quietly placing their bets on the same thing. AI that does not just talk to you. AI that builds things. Runs factories. Makes physical stuff. And the guy who built Amazon from a garage, who built Blue Origin to compete with NASA, is now all in on it. The last time Bezos went quiet and focused on one thing, he turned a bookstore into the most powerful company on earth. He is quiet again.

Australian tech entrepreneur Paul Conyngham explains how he used ChatGPT/AlphaFold (spent $3,000 with no biology background) to create a custom MRNA vaccine to treat his dog’s cancer tumors. Unreal.

Everywhere I go I find international investors worried about levels of crime and disorder in Labour-run London. And what are Khan’s cops doing? Arresting comedians for jokes. Be in no doubt that under Keir Starmer the authorities are destroying this country’s ancient and priceless reputation for free speech. Take away free speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought - and you remove much of what is unique about this country and our culture. We are witnessing a slow motion disaster.
