High School Dropout to OpenAI Researcher - Gabriel

章节 1：瑞典高中辍学生到OpenAI科学家：那个改变命运的决定

📝 本节摘要：

本章作为访谈的开篇，通过蒙太奇式的剪辑展示了嘉宾 Gabriel Peterson 的核心观点与背景。Gabriel 是一位来自瑞典偏远地区的高中辍学生，如今却是 OpenAI（Sora团队）的研究科学家。

对话正式开始后，主持人 Sigil Wen 询问了 Gabriel 充满传奇色彩的职业路径。Gabriel 回忆了他早年对 AI 的迷茫，以及那个决定性的时刻：他的表哥打来一通电话，邀请他加入一个电商推荐系统的创业项目。这通电话促使他毅然放弃高中学业，连夜坐大巴士前往斯德哥尔摩，从此再未回头。

[原文] [Sigil]: so Gabriel your story is super fascinating to me i have a tweet over here it says "Five years ago I dropped out of high school in Sweden to join a startup with close to zero experience as an engineer today I'm joining OpenAI as a research scientist to build AGI with Sora." How did you get here from that

[译文] [Sigil]: Gabriel，你的故事对我来说太迷人了。我这里有一条推文，上面写着：“五年前，我在几乎没有任何工程师经验的情况下从瑞典高中辍学，加入了一家创业公司；今天，我作为研究科学家加入 OpenAI，通过 Sora 项目构建通用人工智能（AGI）。” 你是如何从那个起点走到今天的？

[原文] [Gabriel]: yeah it's a long story i've always been thinking about AI ever since I started reading books like Super Intelligence and Life 3.0 oh Max Tag Mark yeah Max dude I love that and both of them happened to be Swedish people as well and I was okay there's there's something here

[译文] [Gabriel]: 是啊，这说来话长。自从我开始读像《超级智能》（Super Intelligence）和《生命3.0》（Life 3.0）——噢，Max Tegmark（原文误听为Max Tag Mark）写的，是的，Max，哥们儿我爱死那书了——这类书之后，我就一直在思考 AI。而且这两位作者碰巧都是瑞典人，当时我就觉得，好吧，这领域肯定有点东西。

[原文] [Gabriel]: but I always thought I was too dumb i think I was looking into a bit to AI like I didn't really know programming and I was like probably there's like a bunch of really smart people out there that I can never compete with and yeah I just ended up working as an engineer for a couple years

[译文] [Gabriel]: 但我以前总觉得自己太笨了。我当时虽然对 AI 有点关注，但我其实并不怎么懂编程。我就想，外面肯定有一大堆绝顶聪明的人，我永远也竞争不过他们。所以，是的，我最后只是做了一名普通的工程师做了几年。

[原文] [Sigil]: so you dropped out of high school how did that happen how did you have the conviction to leave high school when everyone around you from your home country your hometown was there

[译文] [Sigil]: 那么，你是怎么从高中辍学的？当时你周围的人，你祖国和家乡的人都在上学，你是怎么有这种信念离开高中的？

[原文] [Gabriel]: i didn't really make the decision it just more like happened i think yeah my my cousin called me one day and said hello i just talked to this person uh he's really really smart he has this product idea to make like part recommendation system with AI and we should start selling this today

[译文] [Gabriel]: 我其实没怎么刻意做这个决定，它更像是自然而然发生的。是的，有一天我表哥打电话给我说：“喂，我刚跟一个人聊过，呃，他真的超级聪明。他有个产品点子，就是用 AI 做一个类似商品推荐系统的东西，我们今天就应该开始卖这个。”

[原文] [Gabriel]: he's currently in Singapore like doing research and yeah we're going to start selling like we're starting like yeah come to Stockholm as fast as possible

[译文] [Gabriel]: “他现在人在新加坡做研究。对，我们要开始卖了，我们要开始了。是的，你赶紧用最快速度来斯德哥尔摩。”

[原文] [Gabriel]: and I was like dude I have this big party tonight i I'll come tomorrow he's like no so I just went like took the next bus to Stockholm and I just never returned

[译文] [Gabriel]: 我当时说：“兄弟，我今晚有个大派对要参加，我明天再来吧。” 他说：“不行。” 所以我就那样走了，坐上了下一班去斯德哥尔摩的巴士，从此再也没有回去过。
