Maybe the reason he was doing so much media was because he was encountering resistance to his ideas internally at Intel. Talking publicly about them and becoming the public face of Intel's CPU design program might have been his way to get more intellectual leverage. If it was, I guess it didn't work.

I can’t speak specifically to Intel, but at most large private companies when you’re an employee you give up the rights to talk to media/press about your work without employer approval.

For the Fortune and Lex Fridman interviews, Keller would likely have had to get Intel PR’s approval to participate. In Lex’s interview, you can see him wearing an Intel guest badge, so I assume the interview took place on-site.
