So we now have one AI startup run by Jeff Bezos and another AI startup run by Beff Jezos. What a weird timeline.

Expect a third soon. Bezos really wants to have another hit.

I think it’s great that there will be more competition in the space, not to mention more hiring, etc.

> Co-Chief Executive In other words he wants to seagull manage the place.

Wants all the power without actually doing the CEO's job. Quite ridiculous, similarly how there were two heads of "DOGE" or Twitter having Linda Yaccarino as the CEO.

I feel like he's too distracted by his celebrity lifestyle these days to really focus on running a company. He just paid for Kris Jenner's 70th birthday party at his house where they had the cops called on them: https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/kris-jenn... and he disinvited Elon Musk (lol): https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/elon-... Here he is out showboating at the Oscars, Van…

Pretty gossipy

I don't want to be mean, but to be honest, your post makes me wonder if you are too distracted by the celebrity lifestyle (of others).

I don't have this treasure trove of information about Bezos' life and I don't think it makes me any less informed about the world?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is that a thing in the US? You start a company and there's no need to register it with the government? Or it gets registered but there's no public records of it?

All companies are registered. They have to be registered to be legal entities, have bank accounts, and comply with tax laws. Private companies don’t need to publicly divulge a lot, though. It’s between the company and their investors. It’s only once a company wants to trade publicly that they have to provide a lot of public details and financials.

You don’t have to register a general partnership as long as it has one of the partners’ last name in the partnership name, although I guess you have to get an EIN to file partnership taxes.

A sole proprietorship doesn’t have to register anything ever at all.

There are thousands of companies registered every day across the US. This one is probably a subdivision of a subdivision of some holding company owned by Bezos. Pretty much impossible to track using just public data.

In my state, zero information is given to the state about who the owners are.
