Nah, Hinton is already incredibly rich. His first startup was bought by Google for $44M. And Google paid him millions more for a decade. Dr. Hinton is in a rare position of having no reason to work for anyone, not even venture capitalists.

    But Hinton was a scientist for decades. Altman was a startup founder. All things being equal, I would assume Hinton is less motivated by money.
