[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come back to me when high schools grads make the same money. I’m pretty happy when college educated engineers design our infrastructure [/quote]

I mean…if someone passes the engineering certifications I don’t care how they learned the material whether attending college or on their own.

You do realize that the founders of Oracle, Tumblr, Open AI and many other companies only have HS diplomas…however they are skilled.[/quote]

Oracle has 3 founders with 2.6 college degrees between them.

OpenAI has many founders, most have degrees. I got bored before checking them all.

Tumblr has a high school "dropout" founder.

A college degree is required for a Professional Engineer certification.

You realize you just reinforced pp’s point.  What is the difference between the ones with college degrees and the ones without? Nothing.  The degree was obviously not critical to their accomplishments. [/quote]

Tell me you know nothing about AI without telling me.

Most of OpenAI’s founders have PhDs, as do a huge, disproportionate number of the top staff.   [/quote]

There is that stupid phrase again…the bulk of the Open AI “founders” relate to its non-profit days and are academics that are not even technologists.  They weren’t founders in any real sense because they had nothing to do with actually creating the technology but are ethicists that really just sat on the board. Yes, there are PhDs at Open AI, as there are at plenty of companies.

Sam Altman who everyone recognizes as the product founder and CEO dropped out of college. As did the 2 Microsoft founders; Jack Dorsey that founded multiple companies; Mark Zuckerberg; The he list goes on.

Folks…stop being obtuse…you have to be skilled, this is not HS dropouts with no skills…the point is companies don’t care how you acquire the skills.
