Scientific American's Megha Satyanarayana asked me what advice I have for young scientists. My answer:
"Question everything, question the source of information that you get [...] Just follow all the rabbit holes [...] You spend years and years and years still asking the same question or following a specific rabbit hole that other people are too tired to follow. And that’s really where there is no shortcut to scientific discovery or innovation. You have to struggle."

Young people are using AI companions: in France, 48% of users aged 11-25 discuss intimate matters with conversational AIs. In the US, 72% of 13-17 teenagers have talked to an AI companion at least once, and 32% of them have told them things they don't talk about with friends or family.
