Why would 17 year old do something that only brings them money? I do not think Mr Graham here is advocating for the path that makes most money as a result of learning how to train a model. I assume that tinkering and learning about LLMs is what enterprising 17 year olds will do to discover ways they can get a competitive edge or further the SotA with their insights further down the line.

No wonder the state of everything when 17 year olds are getting pressured to be “enterprising” and “get a competitive edge”. How about learning to be empathetic, respecting your fellow humans, caring for the place you live in, enhancing the lives of others? We shouldn’t be teaching 17 year olds to be greedy, selfish, self-aggrandising blowhards like Zuckerberg, Musk, and Graham. They are not good role models for the future of humanity.

he does mention that it would later on be about building a startup, which is about making money
