Which would allow you to work for 2 years and then just do your hobby full time for 28.

Also allows you to do your hobby without other pressures placed on it.

No, due to the way taxes work, I'd have to:

A) Find a way to work in OpenAI before I knew there'd be a $1.5M bonus for working there for a couple years

B) Find a way to avoid taxes

C) Do this twice before I'd get my 28 years back

D) Ensure I don't let my expenses grow

The first is mostly luck, as Jim Carey said about his dad: You can fail at what you don't want to do.
