Honestly incredible stuff but this made me gasp: "For $100 million a year we can get clean oceans,” he said. This is less than the annual marketing budget of most major consumer goods companies that produce the plastic The Ocean Cleanup is pulling from the sea.

CEOs like this guy fundamentally don’t understand what’s actually required to do these jobs.
Cloudflare’s CEO explains why despite over 30% revenue growth, they are laying off 20% of staff.
He argues that there are 3 types of workers; builders, sellers and measurers (middle managers, legal, HR, operations, etc).
AI makes it possible to automate the last group and he expects everyone will

Every day I contemplate the fact that we still don't know what causes left-handedness. Ages ago we as a society decided it was totally normal and stopped punishing and ostracizing kids for it. Today the thought of being anti-left-handedness is bonkers to us.
