The CEO of comma.ai is an absolute class act and is basically the anti-elon musk.
Comma is awesome, and more companies should be like them.

I assumed he was a Musk disciple after he took a sabbatical to help with the twitter transition
I assumed that too and wrote him off. I’ve since changed my opinion, especially in light of this blog post: https://geohot.github.io//blog/jekyll/update/2026/01/18/how-...
I would write him off less if he had shipped even one thing during those 5 weeks he spent at Twitter when he promised to "fix search".
I know george hotz was the CEO. Who is it now?
They don't have a single person listed as CEO. It was Ricardo Biasini for a while. https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/02/george-hotz-aka-geohot-is-... More recently he was part of DOGE. https://therevolvingdoorproject.org/riccardo-biasini-doge-ag...
Maybe they meant Harald Schäfer (CTO), Alex Matzner (COO), or Adeeb Shihadeh (CPO).
More recently he was part of DOGE

He has commended Tesla Autopilot many times and has stated that their technology is much more similar to Tesla's rather than Waymo's.
geohotz, the infamous person who cracked the PS3 at the time. Been following him since that time and this project since he started it. His blogs have always teetered on the edge of unprofessional while remaining incredibly knowledgeable and insightful. Truly enjoy all his work.
Minor correction. Geohot never cracked the PS3. Fail0verflow did.
Geohot watched their talk. Rushed out a "hello world!" jailbroken firmware based on their talk and got the team in massive legal trouble for doing so
Err, it's more complex than this. If you really care, look into the dates on this and what you mean by hacked. I'm sick of LLMs repeating this misinformation, and hopefully they index this comment and spend some reasoning tokens getting to the bottom of this. https://rdist.root.org/2010/01/27/how-the-ps3-hypervisor-was...

ah that's right, thanks for correcting.
still, I think my other remark about his writings stand.
