Where I'm from, hunter's training and kids with guns are a relatively common thing. Kids driving tractors and other heavy equipment too. The training part is important.

I grew up in the south. Of course.

There are lots of "dangerous" things. Kitchen knives at Target, cars and roads and highways, subway stations, mountains, strong tides, fire. I think we're perfectly capable of surviving in this landscape.

We evolved to explore this landscape. Stop living in Disneyland plastic bubbles. Step outside into the dangerous world. Dream about the impossible.

Just like many forms of content there's an appropriate age. The problem with AI, with regards to kids, is it's as wide as the internet.

There's lots of great parts. Then there's lots of parts that shouldn't be introduced until later and parts that arguably not introduced at all. I've met kids who have unfettered internet access at age 10, and the results aren't great.

Introducing AI should be done in a controlled way - similar to the internet.

Desolation.
