    When my kid was growing up I told him “Look, life is like levelling up in an RPG. Your first job is going to suck. Your first car is going to suck. Your first house is going to suck. Just recognize that and work through it, it will get better…”

    Well… his first job was straight to Intel.
    His first car was a new Lexus.
    His first house is a million dollar home on a hill.

    He’s out there now making the AIs that freak everyone out.

      God I wish life was like an RPG. Imagine getting sufficiently rewarded for the time you put in

        You do for some things. The more time I put into growing food the more weeds I have to show for it! Might be lucky and have a leaf of kale by next month though.

      Dude… Your kid’s a supervillain.

      (I joke, but still… AI? Wish it was something less destructive.)

      That’s on you, you created the monster that created AI. You must travel back in time, to kill you grandparents.

      J/k great for your kid, I hope he transitions to something more sustainable later on.
