The pool of young kids that can challenge the technical ability of someone with 20 years more experience is small enough that I don't mind competing with them for employment.


That’s why AI is dominated by a bunch of 40 year old gen Xers.

Oh wait, it’s not!

Zuckerberg just gave a 25 year old promising AI researcher a 300 million offer that the researcher said “No” to.

When I go to NeurIPS, it’s mostly grad students in their 20s who are the first authors. The professors are almost always the last authors.

20 something kids are running circles around boomers today.


I don't mind competing with a single 25 year old in a market with tens of thousands of opportunities.


I don't know what this is suppose to say outside of big tech needing a massive amount of regulations and taxations to reign them in.
