I mean, Occam's Razor says if he wanted a way to get paid, he would just have equity or a very large salary, the normal things CEOs do when they want to make lots of money from their very profitable company.
He gained a huge amount of reputation by saying "I don't have equity in the company. I'm doing it because I love it" in front of the Congress. While he was demanding licensing for AI because it's too dangerous.
I love it. It's dangerous. Hypocrisy? No. It's the tendency of man to pursue what is harmful to himself. Even though optimistic technologists of HN won't agree, much of technology has not benefitted humanity.
