    I kept getting 80s/90s dystopian cyberpunk motifs in my head when reading this article.

    Schmidt does not possess the wealth of an Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. His personal fortune is roughly $20 billion, so approximately an order of magnitude less. This explains why, according to financial industry sources, Schmidt is presently seeking additional partners to bankroll a revitalized Relativity.

    There is an abstract, satirical beauty to this paragraph.

    Also worth keeping in mind that Schmidt recently stated that we shouldn’t bother with climate goals and just focus on AI.

    These individuals really need a dose of reality to get them down from the clouds and back to the ground.
