Interesting.

There's some correlation between like liquid net worth and your projection.

And your optimism.

Right, yeah.

So he expects a labor shortage, rejecting fears that fast evolving technology will put humans out of work as he launches a new venture aimed at making engineers more productive.

The billionaire founder of Amazon.com, and don't forget Blue Origin, is co-leading a new AI business called Prometheus, which plans to build an artificial general engineer that can design and manufacture complex physical products such as a jet engine.

And we just saw some cool demos.

I saw people vibe coding a Boeing 747.

Obviously, it's just the outside.

It's modeling it.

It can pull different reference points from CAD files on the internet.

But

Lots of cool demos, many powered by Fable 5.

I've seen some GPT-5 stuff as well, where people try and go and see the classic like Pelican on a bicycle in SVG.

Well, you can see how you can draw a line from Pelican on a bicycle in SVG to functional jet engine in CAD that then we can actually go manufacture with step-by-step instructions for each part.

Not that far away, certainly on the trend path, and that's what he's investing against.

He said in an interview that the company's goal is to, quote, empower engineers and make innovation easier and faster so smaller teams can do much bigger things on much shorter time cycles.

That'd be good.

It takes forever to build a jet engine.

It takes forever to build a plane.
