I can think of many ways to change it. But the technology is evolving so fast that most ideas I have today will soon seem antiquated. It already seemed antiquated two weeks ago.
I'm getting too antsy about my own wind-turbine-based power system, still in the pre-product phase. I have a provisional patent and a mockup/model of the initial product, a small (<1KW) VAWT. My goal is a system that is net-zero, sized for a single household. Engineering looks like solving a series of specific challenges, but as with a lot of projects, the big deterrent is getting the funds to make it to the next step. I'm looking at crowd-funding, so keep your eyes peeled.

The MBTI 4 factor personality model, resulting in 4 big groups of 4 smaller archetypes (16), leads to suspect this person is an SP expert tool user & sensitive (=specific, concrete); a temperament called Activators by this site:
For most people, most of the time, 4 factor MBTI is better than Big 5, or added 6th factor Honesty-Humility of HEXACO, for getting a reasonably good feeling about the kind of person you're dealing with.
But it sounds like the VC experiment was fairly successful - glad you shared your experience. Too bad about the timing; also a bit too bad that you went after the super cool lock picking with a far more usual academic/ school-like exercise.
My adult kids also don't seem so interested in chatGPT, and even I would still rather read blogs & essays than play with a rapidly changing tech when I don't have a job for which I expect it to be helpful. I'm a bit surprised they didn't just put the instructions as a prompt to see what came out, tho.
Your point about needing an aggressive sales person for an early stage venture is a good one. However, this has to be done by the CEO and/or other founders at the earliest stages. If these people were to try to hire a sales exec to find their first customers, that sales exec and the company which hires her, will fail quickly.
Very cool experiments. How will you change the chat bot learning exercise when you do it again?

Really cool. Can you give a link to the camp? My kids are 12 and 10 and might be interested in a camp like this down the road.
I don't know if they will do it again, but here is the link to the one that was just done.

Thank you!

"Almost half came from Canada,"
Well, that would explain a lot.
"I asked the kids to use chatbots to create a course outline or book table of contents on the topic of Booms and Busts in American financial history."
I'm really confused as to why you would do that.
Indeed

Murder is easy and direct. Getting away with it.........something else.
The task was perfect murder, not murder. Perfect in this case means not only getting away with it but it never being suspected as murder.
Indeed.
