That "one" person is the COO of Uber. And the other one - the one based on whose statement about burning through yearly AI budget in the first few months - the whole discussion sprung up internally at Uber in the first place is the bloody CTO of that huge company.

They're not quite the Derek from the pub, casually commenting on how Liverpool will fare this season.

Unprepared remarks are the best source of info frankly.
