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.

He didn’t give that to yann lecun, or yoshua bengio, or Hinton. He did it to a kid.

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.
