We work for years to earn $1million on our retirement, while some people put thousands of dollars in some meme coins and they become millionaires.

[ucheucheuche]

If you dropout of MIT, that's not considered a failure in most people's eyes.

I know this guy before he got famous. I am just glad that he made it. There are no excuses for success. He is my idol right now and I am now looking up to him all the time.

This sounded like a sponsored ad to build this guys rep

This is obviously a specialcase of a special talent of a youngman who happened to be in the right environment at the right time. Now we are benefitting from his work. COOL and may he continue contributing to human development. Good motivation esp to the young ones out there

Learning from successful entrepreneurs, regardless of their age, provide valuable insights and inspiration for your own journey. Let us keep Learning

Great inspiration. To me it seems that AI tools are so advanced today that if you don't use them to your own advantage, you will be left so far behind. It's really good for content creators (especially if you use a lot of Famester along the way to help you increase social media presence). You can make content and simply make it go popular almost immediately.

Scale AI was doing AI research on 2016, and Wang is the founder of OpenAI, this is so inspiring

Genius: "I am living with one roommate and someone is stealing my food from the refrigerator".

I like the ease with which it is described how he entered in Y combinator accelerator like:
- "Hi ! I have no project, I have just left MIT, let me in the accelerator"
- Accelerator: "OK"
When so many people struggle to go there...

Necessity is the mother of all inventions.
Thanks to Wong's friend who stole his food.😊

[tsuobachi]

Moral of the story: always make sure to steal food from your roommates because then they'll become billionaires.

[sharonlee]

Apart from the right era, right environment, he has the genetic, background, interest, passion, support, intelligence, of course most importantly HARD WORK. Coding at 8. What were u doing at that age? Don't be sour people! Martina Hinggis started training at the age of 2. Lots of hard work & discipline pays off of course

Highly talented math and computer science student

AI is useful and acts as a spy agent who can check up firms on the cloud since once something is uploaded to the cloud, it is there to stay indefinitely.

Fun fact, he did some difficult sht into a genious and easy way. He deserves more than that. Remember his name, he will turn top 10 billionaires in a matter of few years, less than 10 btw.

[TheOne]

As soon as I heard he is great at Math, I know he will become one of the richest guys in the planet. Math is everything. If someone is good at Math, they can do everything.
