#4Is he doing this under the Facebook umbrella? Or departing? Or more-or-less retiring from regular obligations entirely?

He said that he will work as a consulting partime CTO for Oculus and do GAI from home, sounded like non-Facebool work to me.

I think semi-retiring. He's going to be "consulting [on Oculus]" while:

Which to me reads like part time work on Oculus, part time work on this AGI project. If it is with Facebook it isn't at all clear from the post (plus I'd assume it would be accompanied by marketing copy in that situation).

I will still have a voice in the development work, but it will only be consuming a modest slice of my time.
As for what I am going to be doing with the rest of my time: [...] For the time being at least, I am going to be going about it “Victorian Gentleman Scientist” style, pursuing my inquiries from home, and drafting my son into the work.

#8Having listened to his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, I can't help but hear this message in my head with his distinct voice. But also, I think his brutal honesty and relentless work ethic will suit this problem domain.
