Whitehead would have loved LLMs and also thought they were conscious.

@mishapathy ask individuals nearby for a pen and whatever napkin/paper surface I can write on. I also happen to have a phone so i can do voice notes.

[Timebard @timebard]

small preface, I make no assumptions on how you're parenting.

Now, not knowing that:

"building things"! is very good energy to hear from a teen :)

I'd wonder about his general work ethic, how in touch with his internal vs external motivation, how much he likes plan vs build, and if he likes to lead projects or just do his own thing. Those split folks many different ways.

He's young enough that the best thing right now might not be direct career advice, it'd be testing his boundaries and preferences with life experiences. Some of those could definitely be early career exposure via groups and camps and such.

Throw things at the wall and see what sticks. 3-4 years of doing that at a moderate pace, would be great. Regardless of what the world looks like then, knowing yourself is evergreen for a good life. I like to think career can follow from that.

@breaking2morrow @Cantide1 @loopholekid may well take you up on that! I am doing a lot of voice interface dev rn

[Timebard @timebard]

@lisatomic5 The big question is, are computers aesthetically compelling, or is the structure of picking apart problems where he has his fun? what's the abstract thing that attracts?

[Timebard @timebard]

There are several things here. I think interface design is going to be pretty powerful for a bit. Malcom is correct also, managing AI is, if it is a longterm thing, going to connect heavy to competence in org structures. Business is good for that. Law will likely be one of the longterm holdouts, my armchair guess, and it provides a lot of the intricacy. Bio stuff is memorization heavy, but the far end of innovation in the space rewards creative thinking.

@loopholekid This is so real fr
I've been saying since vr that ar is the actual goal, and then rn I'm extremely voice-as-interface-"i should never /need/ to look at a screen again"-pilled

men are never hot in photos. They are always hot in person when they are moving around and talking. Very fluid creatures… much to think about

"what do I now have table stakes for?" is the evergreen q in this position

[Somewhere @somewheresy]

Any time an agent or AI system replaces some cognitive function you have / handles offloading memory or cognition, should be viewed as an opportunity to push your own limits of comprehension in an area it hasn't touched yet

You're freeing up your own VRAM, put it to good use

[Timebard @timebard]

@PBandZee You spent more effort trying to read it than I did posting it, and I think that's beautiful

[Timebard @timebard]

You know that one thing that title card at the end of the film about that one thing that gets revealed halfway through? yeah i bet certain ppl involved w/ that subplot are SMOLDERING rn

It is tracking to become one of the highest grossing non-music documentaries of the century.
