I haven't seen that take yet, got any links?

He's a financial venture capitalist type who made open AI closed source, and tried to pressure the EU into not regulating AI.

He's your typical shitbag tech CEO masquerading as a genius. Employees want him back because it's better for their RSUs/stock options. Bunch of greedy assholes from top to bottom.

Have you heard of that creepy orb thing that was installed in a bunch of African developing countries that traded a shitcoin cryptocurrency that is worth nothing and constantly loses more and more value, in exchange for appropriating people's biometric data, that additionally has never said why they want it or what they want to do with all of that information?

That's this guy. He's the creator and owner of that thing. Dude is a comic supervillain.
