The co-founder of Valve Corporation, Gabe Newell, recently gave an interview to YouTuber Zalkar Saliev. The ocean-going billionaire shares his thoughts on everything from his daily routine to startup culture, but one of the largest themes is AI: and the "funny situation" Newell foresees whereby people who can't code become "more effective developers of value" than those who've been coding for a decade.
In a new short, Newell returns to AI after being asked what advice he'd offer to young people hoping for success in their careers. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Newell believes that LLM tools are the next great technological leap, and are going to prove so transformative that this is where people should focus their learning.
