He said in that clip that everything that creates value is valuable, it doesn't have to change the world in any big way. I donno, he specifically got asked the question and I think the answer is probably the most correct one as well.
If you just listen to what other people say and try to follow that yeah, that is outsourcing your thinking. But do people really study and start an AI company just because Elon Musk thinks this is a big thing for the future?
- avthar 6y agoThinking back to my teenage and college years, what "smart people" like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, said was important to work on guided the interests of myself and my friend group. I don't think we were alone in that
- ecmascript 6y agoYeah maybe, but somewhere in that there was probably just a passion for stuff as well? There is a reason that you listen to someone. It's not bad advice to listen to what smart people think is important or what problems they believe to be important to work on in the future. But somewhere along the way you must decide on what you want to do and I think most people have no issues in that. But if you're young and have no experience, it is IMO a good idea to try things that people with experience like Elon Musk say will be important for the future. Then if you dislike it, you can simply drop it for something else.
