#32Join our startup and work in the AI team! (Assuming you would be able to pass our interview process)
We won't pay you as you don't need the cash but your life would definitely be interesting and you would do exciting work.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well I know a mid 8 figure only-child family, but don't know or lie about knowing "10 figure parents". I'm working and getting a $28k bonus for evading the gift tax--that's fine for now. My parents would know about that part. I have the pressure to present any business ideas to my parents, or even the trustee. Video games frankly seem tempting.
There is a wide gap between making games, and enjoying them. Once they're reduced to nuts and bolts and hard work, they become much less interesting.
Likely true, although I was referring to playing them.

#34Down the track, I'd buy a place on http://aboardtheworld.com/ and just network with others of your ilk. They'll have faced the same challenges and could offer some good advice I'd suspect. Otherwise, what are you interested in beyond AI? I see AI as interesting, but a means to an end. Gardening, for instance, interests me. I would look at ways of improving crop yield, rehab'ing land etc (perhaps naively), or anything…
neat link.

#35I'd say forget about the money just live a normal low-stress comfortable life doing what you enjoy.

#36>aging parents. Even if they die
When they die. May I suggest you make the most out of the time they have left and enjoy them while they're still alive. The pursuit of income is one of the main reasons separating families and you don't have that problem. You can learn whatever you want to because you don't have the constraints 99% of people have. You are alive and they are now. Cherish these moments for they are never coming back. Ever.
I'm not being patronizing and I'm doing a whole lot of projecting here. I wish I knew my parents better. They are still alive, but I wish I had spent more time with them. Something I am trying to correct.
