""The big model makers want to create a world in which all of the data for all of the enterprises is easily available to them," Sridhar Ramaswamy said on an episode of Alex Kantrowitz's "Big Technology Podcast" published last week."Everything else, the world, is just a dumb data pipe that feeds into that big brain." Prior to becoming Snowflake's CEO in 2024, Ramaswamy was a partner at Greylock Ventures and cofounded AI search startup Neeva, which was acquired by Snowflake."
