I assume Gates is referring to Amazon’s retail business. That business is much more than a search engine. It’s a fulfillment engine that is mostly owned by Amazon. Any AI assistant worth its salt will order from Amazon.

Any guesses as to what Gates thought was the threat to Amazon, in specific?

So, like a lot of people, currently on the market right now looking for a gig as my role was eliminated.

I am a Senior Project Manager for a custom estate builder. We build homes over $50mm in construction costs for the ultra wealthy. I have been with this firm for 15 years and make $350K annual.

I have reached the limit on title / career progression in my company - nowhere upwards to go. I highly doubt they will ever partner anyone else into the business. Do I leave?
