When we met Sterling Anderson in 2024 , he was the chief product officer of Aurora, the self-driving startup he cofounded in 2016 after several years at Tesla. Just over a year ago, though, Anderson decamped from the startup world for something a little more established, taking over as chief product officer at General Motors, the nation's largest automaker. Since then, he's had a good view of how GM is entering what he calls the third epoch of engineering and design. "There was a time when humans looked at birds and were like, 'OK, those wings seem to work pretty well. Let's go and design something that looks like them.'" Anderson said, describing the first age of engineering. "And they just kind of iterated their way to something that was marginally feasible." The first few hundred years of inventing "was this era of highly empirical iterative design development and engineering," he said. "And by that I mean humans largely started with what we know or had seen, built prototypes of something that kind of looked like it and maybe tweaked some things, hoping to make it perform better, tested it, iterated, and kind of went through this slow guess-and-check process until we got to something that marginally worked."

Alistair Berg Recent analyst actions reflect a divergence in the market, with software stocks like Asana ( ASAN ) and Upstart ( UPST ) receiving upgrades after steep declines, while AI-driven hardware winners Dell ( DELL ) and Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ) face downgrades following massive rallies. Asana’s upgrade comes on the heels of its StackAI acquisition and improved margins, while Upstart benefits from significant insider buying and strong transaction growth. Upgrades Asana ( ASAN ): Upgrade to Neutral by Gary Alexander . The analyst upgraded Asana following a Q1 beat-and-raise and the strategic acquisition of StackAI, which enhances the company’s agentic AI capabilities for workflow automation. Despite risks from sub-100% net retention rates and seat-based pricing vulnerability, the valuation at less than 2x revenue is compelling after a 50% year-to-date decline. “A recent Q1 beat-and-raise, however, plus new agentic AI capabilities, may help turn fortunes around for this stock...amid tough macroeconomic conditions, the company has posted consistent growth rates while also making tremendous progress on boosting pro forma profitability. I think there are still many risks on the horizon, but the floor is likely in for this stock, leading me to upgrade Asana to a "N eutral" rating.” Upstart Holdings ( UPST ): Upgrade to Neutral by Julian Lin . Significant insider buying and continued execution drove the rating upgrade, with the company posting 44% year-over-year revenue growth and 61% transaction volume growth. While cyclicality remains a risk, management’s growth targets through 2028 support a more favorable outlook. “The walk backwards in profitability appears to be driven in large part to the company’s increasing allocation to “super prime” borrowers. This in theory may prove to be a net positive as this group might represent a lower risk credit profile. That said, investors should closely monitor profitability trends as I would instead be expecting operatin...
