I read this earlier today and was thinking: how many such mathematically gifted individuals exist I. The world at one time? Assuming there are probably 20-30 Tao-caliber people in the US and an adversarial multiplier of 0.1 (only 1 in 10 such kids are nurtured), we reach 300 for this generation, about 1 in a million.

That means in a generation there are ~ 10k such people in the world. Think about connecting them or nurturing them with AI companions.

How about nurturing them with human beings? We have no idea how nurturing children with a computer program would turn out but probably poorly.

The most important part of nurturing, as I understand it, is to be seen and loved by other humans, and to be made to feel safe and lovable.

Yes, let's give them only the blandest, most boring interactions possible.
