OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said he is envious of today’s college dropouts. Speaking at the DevDay conference, he explained that this is due to the numerous opportunities available for building products in the AI space. In an interview with Rowan Cheung, Altman said: “I’m envious of the current generation of 20-year-old dropouts. Because the amount of stuff you can build, the opportunity in this space is so incredibly wide.” Altman added that he hasn’t “had, like, a real chunk of free mental space in a couple of years to think hard about what I would build, but I know that there would be a lot of cool stuff to build.”

Altman dropped out of Stanford University in 2005 after two years of studying computer science.
