Being a popular AI influencer is not necessarily correlated with being a good researcher though. And I would argue there is a strong indication that it is negatively correlated with being a good business leader / founder.
Here's to hoping he chills out and goes back to the sorely needed lost art of explaining complicated things in elegant ways, and doesn't stray too far back into wasting time with all the top sheisters of the valley.
