Hm, well, I see on his resume that he was a founder of OpenAI, recruited to be Tesla's head of AI, went back to OpenAI, and also has the most viewed educational videos in this space.

So, he has made theoretical contributions to the space, contributions to prominent private organizations in the space, and broadly educated others about the space. What more are you looking for?

Tesla fumbled big on AI, and as for his work at OpenAI, he just left, had he been good enough they would have made him a financial offer that would have made him continue. But, I'll give him that, he seems to be a really good teacher.

I doubt he left because he wasn't being compensated fairly.

People just get bored and go do something else for a while sometimes. Or he's got some beef.

Not everyone is purely motivated by money so. I know that the moment I decided to quit or switch jobs, no, and I mean litterally no, amount of money would change my mind.

Me changing can never be used as an appraisal of my old organisation so.

Disclaimer: regarding money, if I get enough in max a year to rezire forever after that, I might be tempted. Which won't happen, because a) I'd just leave a year later anyway and b) nobody would pay me high 7 figures just to not quit.

many SOTA papers for multi-camera deep fusion/birds eye view perception in autonomous driving were based on copying teslas homework after their AI day 2022 talk

You left out a few prepositions like off the space, toward the space, from the space, and down the space.
