What a timely and fantastic story. I will be sharing this with my son (who is set to graduate from college in December). Good luck to Henry.

Thank you for this story, Bryan. In a perhaps ironic twist of “staying human,” I have recently said “yes” to working with an AI over many months to co-author a book. One of the lessons of this experience has been how accepting uncertainty and even living in paradox, adds richness and depth to life. May your son thrive and flourish as he ventures forth with uncertainty carried in one pocket to meet whatever is ahead.

Wonderful. The kid is on the right track. Our daughter is also on the same mainframe. These kids are looking at a world that is totally different than what we encountered at their age. Kudos to Henry!

Thanks, Nazim, it feels like they’re already coding the future while we’re still figuring out the mainframe. 😉

Man, that Henry. He continues to impress me, and now teach me. Thanks for sharing that with us, but I feel like it was meant just for me.

I appreciate that, Gary; Henry has a way of making us all feel like the lesson was custom-built. 😉

“Uncertainty is the birthplace of possibility.” Wise words. I’m saving that.

Thank you for sharing this private moment with all of us. Wise boy you have! How wonderful to have had so much time together. My eyes are leaky these days, too.
