    This article tells the story of Julius,=
    a guy who managed to succeed through his way with words. Julius would rece= ive praise for his work despite knowing nothing about many of the things he=
    worked on. People believed him even when he said things that made no sense=
    . More knowledgeable people would be responsible for checking his work - th= ese people knew how poor the work was, but management liked him so much the=
    y couldn't see it. His story is analogous to AI - Julius is now everywhere.

    <span style=3D"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
    Dozens of investors at some of the bigg= est venture capital firms quit or were pushed out in 2024. An unusual numbe=
    r of investors are working on new firms. This is being caused by a protract=
    ed startup downturn and a broader shift in the role of VC firms. Bleak mark=
    et conditions have led to less funding and leaner operations, so it makes s= ense for firms to employ fewer investors.
