Great minds work together and influence each other – either by supporting each other, or by harshly criticizing ideas.
Either way, great minds know each other, electrify each other by ideas and wisdom, and work together on creating exciting future for humankind.
From Sam’s story at Y-Combinator, in early days of OpenAI, Elon criticized them so much, that even said it has “0 chance to succeed”.
It was a harsh strike – but at the same time, as Sam explains, over time, if such critics doesn’t kick you out of saddle, and you truly believe in your idea, you embrace critics, adjust your vision, ingest suggested improvements, stand up and carry on.
And in times of AI revolution, your agility, learning speed, persistence and flexibility do real magic.
“This is the best f*cking time ever” … “because ground is shaking” (Sam Altman)
