Moonshot AI founder Yang chose entrepreneurship to avoid lifelong regret

Nathan Benaich quotes Russ Salakhutdinov on Yang’s decision to return to China and start Moonshot AI: he would have regretted it for the rest of his life if he had not at least tried to start his own company.
The post frames that as a strong reason to build: trying matters because the regret of never starting can last much longer than the risk of failure.
