Happy. I never heard him say anything even remotely interesting about ai. He seemed a glib opportunist just not dumb enough to know how to sell a product he didn’t understand who eventually would have alienated or pushed out all the smart people who made the company’s and his success.

Or about anything at all really. I find his blog posts and talks banal and boring, or self-aggrandizing otherwise ("you can bend the world to your will") it was always baffling to me how this guy could achieve this much. I'm probably missing something.

"how this guy could achieve this much"

With all the wisdom that I have gathered in life, I can tell you that achievement- more often than not- is mostly the product of circumstances.

(That doesn't mean I believe in equal opportunities leading to equal outcomes.)
