Ha. @demishassabis and @DarioAmodei, who are running the two best AI labs in the world both have PhDs. Jim Simons, who founded one of the biggest hedge funds in the world had a PhD. Eric Schmidt, Google’s first outside CEO, quite successful, had one, too. So did did Intel’s Cofounder Gordon Moore (of Moore’s law fame). As usual @beffjezos is talking out of his rear end. @elonmusk @iScienceLuvr Finishing PhD is an anti-signal in many cases. If you didn't learn to go to drop out go to industry and build real things, then you are probably too theory-pilled
