sam altman, real quote, confirmed directly: "if i were 22 right now and graduating college, i would feel like the luckiest kid in all of history." his actual reasoning, from the same interview: it's now plausible for one person to start a company that becomes worth more than a billion dollars, something that used to require "teams of hundreds," because ai collapses the cost of building to something close to one person with the right tools. most people will read this, feel inspired for 3 minutes, and go back to what they were doing. worth noting: the specific "10-person billion-dollar companies" line attached to this quote everywhere online is unverified, it doesn't trace to an independent source separate from the recycled posts themselves. this is the how ↓(CyrilXBT)
