Meta chief AI ship's officer Alexandr Wang has shared advice for loretta young teens who need to be successful in the futurity. The 28 yr old AI executive had earlier led Scale AI before Meta took a 49% stake in the AI startup.
Speaking at the TBPN podcast, Wang said that the current 13 year old's should follow the example of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg to learn the new technology to have a ‘huge advantage’ in the future. Wang drew the parallels between the current AI age to the time when the personal computers came and said that the young adults may even have an edge over the adults.
Alexandr Wang's advice to 13 year old:
“It's almost like when personal computers first came about, or just computing in general, the people who spent the most time with them, or who grew up with it had this immense advantage in future economy like Bill Gates or even the Mark Zuckerberg of the world. I think that moment is happening right now”
“If you are like 13 years old, You should spend all your time coding and just, you know, that's how you live your life” he added
“I think it's actually in some ways an incredible moment of discontinuity where if you just happen to spend like 10,000 hours playing with the tools and figure out how to use them better than other people, that's a huge advantage” he further noted
Wang's advice to young adults is to spend all their time learning how to use the new AI tools and ‘vibe code’ new things with them. In case you aren't aware, vibe coding is a new approach to software development where developers use natural language prompts to get a product developed via an AI tool.
The term was cointed by OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy with the idea that developers can use AI to "fully give in to the vibes" and “forget the code even exists.”
Notably, Wang became the youngest self-made billionare at the age of 25 by embracing the power of AI with his startup Scale AI that he had launched at the age of 19.
Earlier this year, Zuckerberg's Meta invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI which valued the startup at over $29 billion
