Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said he liked to test AI using a poetry prompt to see if it had the "subtlety" to translate "deep meaning."

Tech layoffs are fuelling an influx of new founder talent. Delivery Hero scaled down its ghost kitchen project and, despite being offered another role internally, Pankow exited in December 2022. As the cofounder of cybersecurity startup Simplyblock, he is part of a new wave of founders born of tech layoffs. In 2022, programme applications from founders working at tech companies that have made layoffs increased by 111% to 1,273. "As the world's strongest talent, capital and political will gravitates towards this issue, we are seeing founders building technology designed to leave a real impact," Klink added.
