TLDR: Money, Fame and A Glorious IPO (AGI)
Just say you joined for the money and that Intel's stock didn't do a 10,000x run like Nvidia did and he completely missed it.
So the best chance at something like that again is OpenAI when they achieve a 1TN valuation with AGI.
I think OpenAI will IPO at 1T. I don’t want to say bubble but it could be one of these stocks super hyped that never goes anywhere after the IPO(I.e airbnb during Covid)
Unless OpenAI goes with a very liberal definition of AGI, he's going to wait decades for AGI.
