The reason why most tech entrepreneurs drop out of college has more to do with the concepts of time to market and first-mover advantage. There are market incentives in being the first mover to create an innovative technology which include higher profit margins, larger market share, and market leadership/dominance. Chatgpt is a disruptive technology and, as a result, there will be a series of competitors and imitators who have similar intellectual property patents that will follow in being new emerging tech firms.

The college will always need where many students will be facing, cheering and playing each other, and AI can't

[@posthocprior]

No data was presented. There was no data, for instance, on the number of startups focusing on AI founded by college dropouts. There was no data about what percentage have successfully raised venture funding, have revenue, have failed, are profitable, or how many of these dropouts have gone back to university.

Or what schools they dropped out of. What year (soph, jr, sr?). Where are they based (i.e. silicon?). I agree, this story was interesting but more data would've brought more insight

[@pauldannelachica2388]

College are old institutions that cannot adapt on AI tools and systems. And very costly

[@SorminaESar]

I don't agree with your opinions

[@oliveryt7168]

University in other countries is very cheap.. Like in many European countries..

[@OS1540]

I would agree in some parts but it's also important to remember that colleges can operate like businesses. They can bring in big dollars from alumni and corporate donors to invest in research and programs dealing with AI. It won't be before long until some colleges, especially the rich ones, start teaching AI in their coursework or even offer it as a concentration.

\• I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it is just our flesh and that is it. It knows only things of the flesh (our fleshly desires) and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as peace of heart (which comes from obeying God's Word). Whereas we are a spirit and we have a soul but live in the body (in the flesh). When you go to bed it is your flesh that sleeps but your spirit never sleeps (otherwise you have died physically) that is why you have dreams. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart (when I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'). But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons that is a thing of our flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. Take note, love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as faith and patience. We should let the Word of God be the standard of our lives not AI. If not, God will let us face AI on our own and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. Our prove text is taken from the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21. Let us watch and pray... God bless you as you share this message to others.
