The whole PHD vs. business application discussion is somewhat about Theory vs. Application. But so much of the conceptual understanding of Gen AI is rooted in academic theory - yet, evolved so quickly and recently that almost any school curriculum and degree may not even be relevant for the industry after a few years. Being a technical expert in the domain means knowing so much of the emergent work and research. And the more privatized the less accessible innovation will become for the rest. Great video btw
Hey Garry, glad you watched my video, or maybe it just popped up to your feed and caused misunderstanding. I replaced it with "Ex YC China" which was a fact. Just wanted to say you guys are both huge inspirations for me and many founders in Asia, so the only reason I made these videos was to show respect and appreciation. I'm looking forward to seeing more great content from your channel and YC!

Great video btw
Agreed and thank you ❤️
You’re very articulate! Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Thank you! This is really encouraging😁
Please remove YC China from your title and description. They are unaffiliated with us.

I'd also like to invite you for a 10-min video collaboration. I'm sure it will be fun 😊
