When walking around the U of Toronto, I often think that ~10 years ago Ilya was in a lab next to Alex trying to figure things out. I can't believe this new AI wave started there. Ilya, Karpathy, Jimmy Ba, and many more were at the right time when Hinton was there too.

And none of them build AI companies in Toronto.

I’m Canadian and disappointed at how ineffective we are at building successful companies.

Yeah Canada just spends a ton of taxpayer money to create great institutions like U of T and Waterloo, so that their graduates can all go to Silicon Valley and make 2-3x the money.

> 2-3x the money.

That's if you're stuck in tech support. When you start doing actual ground breaking work it starts at x10 and goes up significantly.

If you’re a top-tier AI researcher like Ilya, for sure. I was thinking about your run-of-the mill FAANGish senior engineer.

E6 in facebook is something like USD 750k total comp.

In Canada you'd be lucky to get USD 180k total comp.

It really is x5 to x10 for seniour programmers.
