Chamath highlighted a shift in enterprise management structures: Gallup data shows the average number of direct reports per manager in the US jumped from 11 to 12 in a single year, the fastest pace in a decade. This reflects a corporate trend of cutting middle management, a structural change enabled by AI tools.

Simultaneously, 8090, an AI-native software development platform co-founded and led by Chamath, announced its Series A funding.

The platform has already been used to modernize 18 million lines of Medicare claims code for CMS.
