All right, Jason, so perhaps the biggest news today in Startup Land is that Jeff Bezos is going to be CEO again. What? Not of Amazon. I know, hear me out though, not of Amazon. And it's going to help kind of bridge the difference between AI systems and the real world.

The company has raised $6.2 billion, just came out of stealth. What we're talking about is real-world AI. Does that mean humanoid robotics? Does that mean robots? Bezos is now back in the CEO seat.

This is extraordinary news. I thought for sure Bezos was going to come back to Amazon. I think there's two things left for Bezos. Number one, is to go back to Amazon at some point.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
