I made a person seven years ago. They started out pretty useless, just eating and pooping and crying a lot. But now they can walk, talk, think, read, write, act, sing, and love.

- bombcar 3y agoMinecraft has definitely proved that the children yearn for the mines.
- organsnyder 3y agoFor my kids, at least (ages 5-12), "clicker" games are all the rage right now, as well as repetitive mining and harvesting in Minecraft.

- mattlondon 3y agoI found that V2 was much harder from an orchestration and toil point of view.
- shimon 3y agoI agree, the scale problems seem to outweigh the scale economies at N=2. At some point you get positive network effects where the older ones contribute to the care of the younger ones, but so far we mainly observe a lot of resource contention with frequent livelock exceptions requiring intervention by the parent processes.
- biomcgary 3y agoAt N=4, I have observed substantial reduction in required average per unit parental engagement.
