$AMZN CEO on DeepSeek & inference costs:
"The cost of inference will substantially decrease. What you heard in the last couple of weeks at DeepSeek is just one piece of this, but everyone is working on it"
But how do you get into the position of having that talent underneath you? Accumulating wealth and knowledge that they don't have. Then you offer a piece of the pie. There's no free lunch
One important takeaway from Mitch Rales's interview: having great people working for you is a powerful source of leverage, especially if you think they're better than you (or potentially will be over time - see how Larry Culp was bred to be Danaher's CEO)
