Right, what about him? Didn't he start his own company and raised 1 billion a while ago? I haven't heard about them since then.

Didn't he say their goal is AGI and they will not produce any products until then.

I admire that, in this era where CEOs tend to HYPE!! To increase funding (looking at a particular AI company...)

To increase funding (looking at a particular AI company...) I think he was probably hyping too, it's just that he appealed to a different audience. IIRC they had a really plain website, which, I think, they thought "hackers" would like.
