And as one of my sources said, why be consistent at the gym when I could work 16 hours straight at my research job?
I think another factor too has to do with the way that Silicon Valley thinks about the establishment, thinks about institutions, and thinks about themselves.
So I think a lot of folks who are in the tech community really

I have a computer science degree.
I'm good at using ChatGPT to do research.

They said, you know, I know there are downsides.
I know it could go wrong, but I'm somebody who is willing to take the risk because sometimes the upside is worth it.
Coming up.
