just breathe - pearl jam

tech

Two things jump out:

Pixar spent 3 years making commercials before its first feature film. He said it was basic work4hire, no upside at all. Before they went all in for Toy Story. Total of 10 years before they got big with TS. Meanwhile he was pouring his own money into it wild, didn’t know he gambled like that.

Interesting Steve understood that content sits above technology. Never heard him say that before, he obviously didn’t buy Pixar for its product, sounds like he bought into a story and built an environment where the best creatives could thrive. 

At this age sounds like tech was just the tool, and creation was the point. 💫

>Nvidia reported revenue of $57 billion in the third quarter, 62% higher compared to the same quarter last year. The company’s net income on a GAAP basis was $32 billion, 65% higher year-over-year. Both revenue and profit results beat Wall Street expectations. “There’s been a lot of talk about an AI bubble,” Jensen said during the company’s earnings call. “From our vantage point, we see something very different.”

Jeff Bezos returns as co-CEO of new AI startup, Project Prometheus

k00b

Ya Bezos is by far my favorite entrepreneur to watch, read, listen and study. Always has been, even as a young guy learning about Amazon. Hope to meet him one day. I imagine its a very practical application he is going after, looking forward to see him cook again!

Jeff Bezos is reportedly a co-founder again, joining Project Prometheus

>Is it normal to reject help from others?

I would say No. Being from Texas most people help each other, and also going to church you see a ton of kindness, but traveling to new places I usually use my intuitiveness to suss people out, sounds like you did the same.

>Jeff Bezos has reportedly raised $6.2 billion and hired nearly 100 employees for an AI startup focusing on deeply technical enterprise applications, called Project Prometheus.

>The reported raise would instantly catapult Project Prometheus to being one of the most well-funded early-stage AI startups in the world. Still, the startup would have to compete with entrenched and even more deeply funded incumbents for market share.

>The startup, in its new LinkedIn profile, describes itself as “AI for the physical economy.” Bezos appears to be angling to build technology capable of conducting real-world scientific experiments that surpass the limitations of so-called “chatbots” favored by companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.

The Mandalorian and Grogu - Trailer

💯 agree, based on all these [reports](https://comicbook.com/movies/news/david-finchers-lost-star-wars-movie-would-have-extended-the-sequel-trilogy/) sounds like a lot of greed and power trips going on over there. 

Creative people only want to play with other highly creative people.

>Favreau and Filoni had written a fourth season of The Mandalorian by February 2023, but production on the season was delayed by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. During this time, Lucasfilm re-evaluated their plans for the franchise and decided to prioritize a Mandalorian film over the fourth season. The Mandalorian and Grogu was announced in January 2024. Filming began in California by August 2024 and was completed by that December.

_The Mandalorian and Grogu is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 22, 2026._

_This new trailer played before the Predator: Badlands and literally no one said a peep. If you look at the comments, seems like Star Wars has lost their core base of fans._

_What’s interesting everyone believes it’s the person in charge, [Kathleen Kennedy](https://fandomwire.com/kathleen-kennedy-leaving-lucasfilm-rumored-exit-could-greenlight-the-first-star-wars-movie-disney-rejected/) after awhile you do have to question the person who is appointing and leaving that person in charge, [Bob Iger.](https://sffgazette.com/sci_fi/star-wars/was-kathleen-kennedy-bob-igers-scapegoat-all-along-a9341)_

>Adam Driver recently revealed in a conversation with the Associated Press that he had once been attached to a Star Wars film project titled "The Hunt for Ben Solo" with heavyweight Steven Soderbergh. According to Driver, the project was approved by Kennedy but shut down by Disney leadership, specifically Bob Iger and Alan Bergman.

_We have seen some stupid moves from Disney the past few years, maybe they really did just fire or lose a lot of talent and/or maybe it was Bob all along._

_Just goes to show nothing as it looks like to the fans and if 💩 is going bad it’s usually terrible decision making at the top._
