If founders and different enterprise leaders weren’t already envious of Dario Amodei, who sits atop one of many world’s fastest-growing AI firms — at present valued by non-public market buyers at roughly the trillion-dollar mark little greater than 5 years after it was based — they’re going to be critically envious now.

It’s a extremely uncommon construction. OpenAI’s Sam Altman reportedly has round half a dozen direct experiences, which is way extra normal, whereas Nvidia’s Jensen Huang — one other excessive outlier — has many dozens.
