The media and the VCs are treating Sam like some hero and savior of AI. I’m not getting it. What has he done in life and/or AI to deserve so much respect and admiration? Why don’t top researchers and scientists get equivalent (if not more) respect, admiration and support? It looks like one should strive to become product manager, not an engineer or a scientist.

You could say the same about any person on the top. In general CEO's do not do research. Still they are critical for success.

By the way the AI scientists get a lot of respect and admiration see Ilya for example.
