You will be hearing a lot more about governance and a “control plane” for AI over the next few quarters.
This is what 8090 built Software Factory for.

A year ago, I announced that I had gotten a California liquor license!
Why?
So @Sommjoshua could work with wineries to buy wine directly and bypass much of the middleman fuss and markup.
We had almost 50 Founding members join us with the goal of making sure that winemaking wasn’t lost in this age of ever-marching technological process.
Our Founding Members buy wine together. We travel the world to have dinners together. We sell wine to each other. Always at cost, never with a markup and usually with a discount that can be as high as 30-40% on even the most exclusive wines.
We also wanted to become a safe harbor for multi-generational winemakers as they transition to the next generation.
As a result we are forging lifelong relationships with the most incredible wineries in the world.
Perhaps, over time, if they decide it’s time for succession planning they will bring us in as partners versus sell to a large corporation.
We are a group of humans who want to protect their craftsmanship and celebrate both the beauty of their product but also the beauty of their locations and the wineries themselves.
Today, we're launching Drink With Me for non Founding Members. You can now get the majority (but not all) of the benefits of our private wine collective that our Founding Members enjoy.
While our founding membership costs were a bit expensive, you can get most everything we do, as a non Founding Member, for $5k/yr.

PS, there are a few Founding Memberships which we left open for emerging members but you will need a nomination from one of the existing FMs. They will let you know if they are one but here are a few that happen to be on X:

Very amazing email to get:
“Hi JCal, Chamath,
55 days ago you two had a 4 minute conversation about EAs and Athena.
Since then we have:
closed $29M in new revenue 🤯
seen a -53% decrease in blended CaC, placed 683 Athena executive partners ❤️ 683 new jobs!!”
If you are looking for an EA, try Athena - they are excellent, only cost $3k/mo and you are helping some amazing people around the world upgrade their quality of life.

This is what your SDLC looks like today: requirements in one doc, architecture in someone's head, code in Cursor, docs gone stale.
Watch Software Factory connect the chain so the spec and the shipped code stop drifting apart.
In 2026, residents of every major city should understand this simple truth:
Crime and squalor are choices.
Policies exist that can both be compassionate but put the rights and quality of life of the tax paying and law abiding above everything and everyone else.
It’s not as crazy as it sounds.
Microsoft pulling Claude is the first, but not the last. The issue isn't that the tool isn't useful.
The issue is that without context and oversight, the tool can spin forever and generates an enormous cost burden that, when cascaded across an entire employee population, makes using the tool economically untenable.
8090's Software Factory is the control plane that is becoming increasingly used by Enterprises to get the job done but do it in a smart and scaleable way.
