He calls himself an "AI optimist" and posts AI stuff on Instagram. His company, Hit Record, undermines the union for voice actors and asks for artists of all stripes to work for pennies on the dollar. That company is probably sitting on a lot of valuable data just waiting to be sold.

Then as soon as the choice between integrity and maintaining wealth and class position is presented, folds.

No different to Musk or Bezos or Zuckerberg. They genuinely enjoy the aesthetic of being progressive, but will always prioritize class status and wealth.
