Remember this little autistic? He was solving complex integrals on live TV as an 8 year old. You all said the fate of child prodigies was to burn out, and he'd be a loser. Probably because you were projecting your own "I was a smart kid who burned out." Life experience. Well guess what? He's a quantum physics researcher, a multimillionaire, and he fucks.

What use is being a quantum physics researcher when strong AI is on the horizon? AI will soon either kill everyone or make human physics research obsolete, so researching physics is a complete waste of resources. AI alignment needs every last bit of autistic brain power it can get, so Jacob Barnett should be working for an organization like pic related instead of wasting his life studying physics.

Stephen Wolfram is given as an example in all of these child prodigy threads of the rare outlier who makes it as an adult. No one denies that child prodigies sometimes go on to do important things as adults, it's just that the vast majority of them flame out and do nothing.

Is that really what happened? From my recollection many people in his field called him a crank and a midwit and he became successful only because he managed to scramble into computer science during the boom years and get a market share.

This is typical of geniuses who are ahead of their time. Its funny that /sci/ of all places fails to recognize this. They guy has a phd in physics and owns a multi million company that publishes software. If that's not accomplished, i don't know what is. That's the mark of genius, when pseud faggots fail to recognize your esoteric idea, you succeed in something else. Anyone who disagrees is a seething midwit.

Wolfram got into automata, probably because it was the hype at that time. He even wrote some shit called a new kind of science. When automata was realised as nothing more than a recreational math, his work was doomed. He has a company and allat, but academically he's a failure.

Yeah because those child prodigies were good in academic stuffs but they changed their goalposts. On the contrary if he was good at say maths and ended up solving complex mathematical problem in his 20s/30s that'd be a success. Btw I claimed wolfram was academic failure, not failure at life.
