what are you talking about. George has been working on comma.ai for years. It's shipping actual products and has revenue.

We need more people who "think different" and push back against the status quo instead of carrying out ad hominem attacks on public forums.

They're talking about the meltdown he had on stream [1] (in front of the mentioned pirate flag), that ended with him saying he'd stop using AMD hardware [2]. He recanted this two weeks after talking with AMD [3].

Maybe he'll succeed, but this definitely doesn't scream stability to me. I'd be wary of investing money into his ventures (but then I'm not a VC, so what do I know).

If his grievances actually got through to the AMD CEO, I'd say he's already had a bigger impact than most.

It is certainly possible to "think different" and not be a wannabe steve jobs.
