      Haha, that’s so far from reality though. Dad is talking about boring things again, I will cover my ears and scream.

        My 6 year old loves to learn about math, sciences, a few other subjects to a lesser degree, plus practical stuff, like driving/traffic behavior. He mainly likes biological sciences and astronomy, but some physics and engineering.

            I don’t know how much is innate and how much we fostered, but we read a ton with him from a very young age and made it into little quiz games and fill in the blank questions. He’s always liked knowing the answers. My 3 year old is less interested, but I think she’ll absorb a lot just by being around her brother. We do read to her, of course, but she chooses different books than the 6 year old does (and even did at 3).

    I was expecting the baby to pee in his face or something. Why have you tricked me into feelings, internet? Why?

    It’s pretty fascinating that babies are largely the same across big timescales and just learn the culture of the time. They are ready to learn “utopia”, we just have to figure out how to teach it.

    I feel like my knowledge would be too basic. I’d get the gist of it but not well enough to replicate and they’d just humor me bc they’d think I’m special.

    We’ve already got LLMs that can simulate conversing with those dead people to some degree, I wouldn’t say they’re beyond the reach of any technology. In a few years they might be good enough simulations that you can’t tell the difference.

      People downvoted you but I don’t think they touched on the main idea; I don’t want to show Einstein modern physics for my entertainment, I want to teach it so he can be amazed.

      good enough simulations that you can’t tell the difference.

      This requires us having actual conversations with those dead people to compare against, which we obviously can’t do.

      There is simply not enough information to train a model on of a dead person to create a comprehensive model of how they would respond in arbitrary conversations. You may be able to train with some depth in their field of expertise, but the whole point is to talk about things which they have no experience with, or at least, things which weren’t known then.

      So sure, maybe we get a model that makes you think you’re talking to them, but that’s no different than just having a dream or an acid trip where you’re chatting with Einstein.

        True. And even if we did, most of them would be super racist, anyway. Just like chatbots from a few years ago!

        Wait, maybe we do have the necessary technology…Hooray? Lol.

          They might mimic those things in a convincing fashion in a few years but there wouldn’t be a reason for them to exist. There’s no person behind the curtain, or inside the multilayered, statistically-weighted, series of if statements.
