In December 2024 Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger retired, saying that "leading Intel has been the honor of my lifetime." Gelsinger failed to turn around the beleaguered chip maker's fortunes, with Intel still caught in what looks like a losing battle against ARM, but industry watchers generally felt he'd dealt reasonably with what was a very bad hand.
Gelsinger's retirement wouldn't last. In March of this year he was announced as the executive chairman of Gloo, which in its own words is a "Technology Platform Connecting the Faith Ecosystem" working on what it calls Christian AI. Gelsinger cheerily acknowledges that we're in an AI bubble, by the way, but reckons it's all fine because it won't burst for a few years yet.
