Banking? Frankly if he was after money there would easier way.

He isn't a cook and he's doing a moonshot towards AGI: I say 'good luck!'

That doesn't mean that I believe that his '60% change of AGI by 2030' isn't wildly overoptimistic, but then again those who take a shot at AGI are overoptimists..

But he can bring a lot of value, we'll see.

I've never got the impression that he's banking on his reputation getting him anywhere. He "made it" long ago and is in a position to just pursue his passions. I think he broadcasts his interests and progress because others like following along, and not because he's wanting even more attention or success.
