>who I feel

You're basing things on your feelings, not personally knowing the person. I know you've alluded to that, but seriously, just stop.

> I worry when I see a person presented as an authoritative leader in the Quantum Computing domain demonstrate in their external presentation.

I'm not sure why how someone dresses makes you worry, especially since you aren't even involved in QC. Stop worrying about things you can't control, especially someone else's appearance. Has Burning Man taught you nothing? If you think it taught you to be biased towards someone based on their appearance, then I think you completely missed the point.

>as already happened with Google Glass

You may not know this, but he was tapped to lead the Google Glass project, and quickly got out of it. He felt that the silicon at the time was not capable of producing the results people wanted in the form-factor they were expecting. He was right. Of course tech has improved since then and better VR/AR glasses in a convenient form factor are just now starting to be a thing, but Google Glass is long since shuttered.

He didn't just come out of nowhere, he's been involved in actual AI (not LLMs) for decades. His company was bought by Google and is the basis for their computer vision systems, which is how he ended up at Google.

As for you supposing he's into "healing crystals" or any other wooo nonsense simply based on how he dresses, I have never known him to talk about such things at all, in all our conversations throughout the decades.

> This person's aesthetic reminds me of this.

You are barking up the wrong tree, and you should maybe tone down your judginess of others. I have news for you - you can't tell a book by its cover, but you sure are trying to. You just come off as being jealous that someone can have fun and also be a pioneer in QC. No doubt any person at the top of their field has plenty of haters, based on nothing more than "he doesn't dress like I expect him to".
