However, the idea that he could create a chatbot someday and avoid the real world altogether is terrifying. The goal is to scaffold and support, not to replace interaction with simulation. Children along with the neurodiverse community could be especially prone to the dangers here.

He's a very social little dude overall, but as he gets older, he struggles in situations over which he cannot control the outcome, and interacting with his peers is one of those situations. Technology is so customizable and agreeable that it has become a comfort and a means of regulation for him.

With regards to the poor teen and the chatbot, it was mentioned that he might have been on the autism spectrum. I have two autistic children, and my son, 8, is currently withdrawing from social interactions to spend time playing video games.

Senator Mitch McConnell's farewell address makes me think he's expecting a visit from these gentlemen soon. π

An Optics Continuum study provides open source code for nonlinear optics simulations - ow.ly/nXyA50QyLG3
The code, which can run on multiple hardware platforms, makes use of nonlinear wave equations and nonlinear implementations of Maxwellβs equations. π‘#compsky #academicsky

HI! Okay, full disclosure. I went with Threads first, but now I find that my employer Optica's here. And! Two weeks ago, I listened to @jay.bsky.team talk on Hard Fork about Bluesky, which started me thinking, "Maybe I got this wrong..." because open source all the way. So here I am! Feels familiarπ
