Austen seems smart and nice but he's not an engineer and he's like an expert marketing person. He has a track record of misunderstanding the scope and scale of the technical side of what he does.
Growing Lambda School from 0 to 2000 students in 2 years while thinking that the underlying technology was unique and special was a big mistake and it imploded.
A reasonable mistake to learn from and improve next time.
So we'll see what happens with Gauntlet - will the marketing be 5 steps ahead of the product, let in 2000 engineers who want to upskill to AI and it falls apart if they are just doing AI projects and getting feedback from past alumni who are a month ahead?
Or will they build something truly unique that is permanent IP and value.
