> someone pushing AI while trying to slow down their competitors

He's specifically doing the exact opposite of that.

"Legislate us, don't slow down open source models, don't slow down our competitors, focus on us and anything better than our current best model" (paraphrased).

But I guess I can sort of see what you mean, possibly?

You actually believe him?

His actions are in concordance with his words. For now, at least — I've seen enough CEOs turn out to be secret villains to remain somewhat skeptical.

The board firing him last year would have changed my mind about his qualities, if not for all of the board's own choices of replacements siding with him rather than with the board.
