🌌 The rebellion of a genius: George Hotz
At just 17 years old, George Hotz —better known as GeoHot— challenged the tech world by unlocking the first iPhone and making it work with any carrier. His feat not only turned him into a legend: the impact was so great that he ended up exchanging that hacked iPhone for a sports car. 🚗⚡
But Hotz did not stop there. Some time later, he breached the security of the PlayStation 3, considered "impossible to hack." That achievement led him to a lawsuit from Sony, transforming him into a controversial figure: for some, a rebel breaking the rules; for others, a genius who saw programming as an intellectual challenge. 🔥
His indomitable spirit even led him to reject Elon Musk, who tried to hire him for Tesla. Hotz's response was as forceful as it was revealing:
"I don't want to work for you, I want to surpass you."
From his garage, he founded Comma AI, a startup focused on autonomous driving, and today he leads tiny corp, a company that aims to revolutionize efficiency in artificial intelligence computing. 🚀🤖
