Earlier quoted context omitted.

ImageNet was very influential, but this just shows he was eighth author on a twelve author paper from almost a decade ago. Is there better evidence of sustained contributions to the field?

He’s first author on a ton of those papers. That’s a tenure worthy CV almost anywhere. Gimme a break.

OP shared a link to just the Imagenet paper.

Agree he had a decent overall track record at Stanford, but that’s not how tenure works — it might have got his foot in the door as an assistant professor somewhere. He chose a much more lucrative path.

To dedicate himself fully to his YouTube channel? I am looking forward! His content is amazing

I imagine doing so is leaving millions on the table. I’m sure he is well off and can retire early, but even so, millions are a lot of money.

Pretty sure he’s leaving BILLIONS on the table :)
