Sam Altman, the father of ChatGPT,
Sam Altman, the father of ChatGPT, is the successor to Paul Graham, who founded Y Combinator, a well-known American startup development agency.
Over the past 19 years, Paul Graham has invested in 4,000 startups and interviewed tens of thousands of startup founders along the way.
Do Koreans guess that Paul Graham has repeatedly talked about how wasteful and negative school is, and not just Paul, but that most of the founders and engineers who have made it in the United States and the West speak similarly?
Also, how many Koreans know that Paul says that you shouldn't start learning programming through college classes?
Even decent start-ups in the U.S. say that people who start coding through college majors don't like to hire.
In other words, the worst way is to start learning programming through university classes.
They also point out that it is too late to start learning in college. Most famous founders and engineers in the U.S. started to approach programming by playing with them even before the age of 14, and went through that process for at least five years. In the process, they didn't waste any time on trash, like Korean schoolwork and the CSAT, because of their high school records.
Also, as Wozniak emphasizes when learning and approaching, you should be fun and comfortable, not learning in a difficult and boring school style. It is said that this destroys possibilities and creativity.
These are facts that the first-class founders and engineers of Silicon Valley in the United States already know.
For this reason, there are so many successful school dropout founders in the United States. They know better than anyone else that learning at school is trash anyway.
Tens of millions of Koreans, however, spend their elementary, middle, high school, and university suffering uselessly.
At the same time, we wonder why not a single person like Steve Jobs, Wozniak, and Sam Altman can come out even if we study so hard and endure suffering.
The answer is simple. They lived in the opposite direction to Koreans. And they never put up with pain and did nothing boring in their lives. Especially, I've never done anything like that in my life, and I hate things like that.
Koreans admire prestigious universities and examinations for no reason.
This is the illusion of respect for Chinese and Japanese impostor martial arts masters, delusion and death, a huge waste of time and energy in people's lives, and a loss of national power. In Korea, most of them do not speak honestly and reign as the establishment by taking the shots with the passing of the exam, so all the time and energy of the people have been focused on taking the shots and living well.
Korean society is really a society that causes a lot of trouble and waste of life, and the results are insignificant.
Serious problems, such as Korea's No. 1 suicide rate and the world's lowest birth rate, will be possible only if the wrong society, education structure and atmosphere are completely reversed.
