    Key details*:

    • Bezos started the company in late 2024 alongside Vik Bajaj, a physicist and chemist who helped create Verily, Alphabet's life-sciences arm.

    • Bajaj says engineers designing the world's most complex machines like jet engines still "use tools that really haven't changed for decades".

    • Bezos wants the "dream-build loop" of idea to product running 10x faster, saying a request for 10% more jet engine thrust can take a decade today.

    • Bezos took the opposite stance on AI's job fears, saying the productivity boost will create "more than 10x" the opportunities and raise the standard of living.
