No, that isn't what he said.
He said, if he is 17 _now_, with no family, no commitments, no pressure to start a career, he'd invest his time to learn to build LLMs from scratch instead of trying to start a company.
Okay sure it’s not a “time machine” in that sense. He wouldn’t go back forty years or whatever. And he’s still saying the same thing that I was alluding to.
