Gabe Newell, the co-founder of Valve Corporation and billionaire yacht-fancier, recently gave an interview to YouTuber Zalkar Saliev (TikTok, IG). The full interview covers things like Newell's daily routine ("get up, work, go scuba diving"), as well as some amusing drive-bys on conventional Silicon Valley wisdom, such as why startups chasing VC money makes no sense.
Newell is asked about AI, both the tech obsession of the moment and a field that has potential to upend elements of society: or so we're promised. The question put to Newell by Saliev is whether younger folk should be learning the technical side of AI, or focusing purely on the best way to use the tools?
