On April 29th, according to The Insider of BusinessAI Programming Platforms Replit CEO Amjad Masad stated yesterday in his podcast 20VC that young people should not choose to study computer science simply because of pay prospects。
If you're not so attractive to it as a moth, don't go to computer science because you're told you can make a lot of money in Google。
Masad points out that since the beginning of the 21st century, when most of the entryists were motivated by real passion, the profession has gradually been "scrambled" and the universities' computer systems have expanded rapidly for one reason at the core -- easy to make money. This logic is no longer valid after AI's rise。
AT THE SAME TIME, HE STRESSED THAT MACHINE LEARNING AND AI DIRECTION REMAINED PROMISING FOR THOSE WHO WERE REALLY INTERESTEDBASIC KNOWLEDGE, SUCH AS DATA STRUCTURE AND ALGORITHMS, IS NOT OVERTAKEN BY THE EVOLUTION OF AI, AND INDUSTRY ALWAYS NEEDS PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND THE BOTTOM PRINCIPLES.
This view is not unique in the scientific and technological community. "Ai Godfather" Jeffrey Hinton also said last year that computer science is a "excellent profession in learning system thinking" and that an AI alternative programming mission does not mean that the degree in question is worthless。
Masad co-founded Reprit in 2016, which has changed from an online integrated programming environment to an AI-centred application to build a platform that competes with a Microsoft-based utility such as GitHub, Cursor and Loveable。
