People in their 20s care way too much about reputation and ego - as did I when I was in my 20s. So much that it's paralyzing. It will prevent them from saying or doing the things they really need to say and do.
It's what grads do after school - create an AI startup.
If you went to the right school, you can be a Series A company with nothing more than an OPENAI_API_KEY. Most of the young and inexperienced founders mentally retire at this point and start their family planning.
There were a few cities like "Austin", but now I guess it's just SF and NY again (I'm in SF).
The students get what they paid for.
The school gets their metrics.
The VCs get returns, from the increased revenue their portfolios just paid for by investing in their kid's startup.
