But if I'm not there, it's wasted.

So the reason why I asked the question is for me to say,

does it really matter that I love them if I'm not there to show it?

Again, let there be no doubt, I love my kids to pieces, but my worry is, am I being a good enough dad?

And what does that mean?

Like if I'm only there to do their homework and make sure that they do all this stuff, but I don't show it to them, then might as well be a terrible dad.

But I agree with you that if the AI system can basically play the role of a father figure for many children that don't have one, or the role of parents, or the role of siblings, if a child grows up alone, maybe their emotional state will be very different than if they grow up with an AI sibling

Because now- I'm replaceable.

I love that.

No, seriously, I would love that.

I would love to be replaced.

I would love to be replaceable.

I would love to have a digital twin that, you know, we don't have to wait for me to die or to disappear in a plane crash or something.

to replace me.

I'd love that model to be constantly learning, constantly evolving, adapting with every one of my changing, growing self.

As I'm growing, I want that AI to grow.

And I think this will be extraordinary.

Number one, when I'm giving advice,

being able to be there for more than one person.

Why does someone need to be at MIT to get advice from me?
