For 24 years, Microsoft’s Amanda Silver has been working to help developers — and in the last few years, that’s meant building tools for AI.

At least nine engineers, including two co-founders, have now publicly announced their departure from xAI in the past week – though two of those exits appear to have occurred a few weeks ago.  Neither xAI nor Elon Musk have publicly commented on the departures.  While attrition is typical at startups, co-founder departures are far less so.

If you are visiting New Zealand’s South Island from overseas, it’s understandable for you to have visions of lakes and mountains, hopes of spotting whales, dolphins and kea, and you’ll doubtless know many Marlborough sauvignon blanc brands. Central Otago is the bit that often surprises people, so much so it’s often missed entirely or just seen as a route between Queenstown and Dunedin.
