I've begun to realize that one of the most radical things AI can do for us is not do the things for us faster and better, but to push us to choose what is most meaningful and then make the space for us to do it ourselves.
This feels like a brave new world, but I'm excited to see what is possible when we have tools that encourage us not to be more perfect and productive, but unfinished and evolving.
that reminds us not to be afraid, to bear the friction, that just shows us how we are all beautifully, imperfectly, inconveniently human.
Thank you.
to each family for better or for worse like you can talk about like you know um human reinforcement learning right like reinforce these behaviors and stuff like that but the base comes from somewhere the base has been trained on something right and so for us what we're doing is that there's a base model then there's the general parenting that we're saying like think like a parent would
And then we give our parents an ability to, we call it like family memory, and they're able to answer questions specifically about like how they would do something.
So like how we don't eat beef and pork, and my daughter is vegetarian, but struggles with protein.
And so that will feel like the personalization or like values.
My family values these five values, right?
We value adventure, we value community.
So
Anything you suggest comes through the lens of these values.
But I just want to frame it.
Who trains that thought or whatever you want to call it that my daughter talks to?
So many people in tech love the tech as a gadget.
And it really physically hurts me because I love the humans.
And I want to fight for the humans, which is like you have to live in human pain.
to build from there.
Human relationships are friction by definition, but the goodness lives in the friction.
And so if I go talk to, if my daughter talks to the ba-ba instead of the ba, ba maybe is having a bad day and maybe she'd like brush her off or like whatever else, but that's a human interaction that my daughter now has to learn about, like to acknowledge how is your day and things like that.
