Start with videos, your son will likely resonate with them.

Further, there’s guides and even coaching to help.
I have no affiliation with them other than as someone who has benefitted tremendously from everything on offer.
Definitely treat this like an addiction. If something, chemical, behavioral, or otherwise is causing your life to suffer, it’s an addiction.
I would guess your child gets more positive feeling from the game than life.
It can take a little time, but there is hope and a healthy way through.
On a related note, my college roommate was exactly the same way. He failed out of college. He worked for a very large game studio by starting at the absolute bottom and then eventually headed a new game category of the type of game he frequently played in college.
He now runs a game studio of his own making multiples of what I do.
As parents, it’s hard to watch a child take a different path than you would expect would be optimal for them, but sometimes they can surprise you by getting out of the local optima you find yourselves in and branch out to something new.
Good luck to you. From someone who previously suffered this same thing, I wish you all the best.
30 years of audio that needs transcribing, summaries, and worksheets made out of them.
Answering questions like:
Can my employer do X? As an employee in this country, what’s my minimum days off I can take?
And so on.
If your claims are true, then this will be exactly what I’m looking for.
Identity change is the best, most lasting way.
Read the book. It goes into some detail.
I’ve worked with thousands of people personally over the years to help them with supposedly difficult to treat addictions for instance. Willpower is fine to start, but completely fails in the long term. Identity change is the only thing I’ve found that works long term.
I do agree that I’m creating something from whole cloth here so it’s not technically replacement as I haven’t let anyone go, but I’m going with the spirit of the question here.
ChatGPT Plus (GPT-4) with Langchain to have my own custom data and be able to query my own help docs for support.
Leonardo.ai for some images for marketing and ads.
ChatGPT-4 and StableDiffusion API (users bring their own API key) for content generation if desired.

I’ve used tools like https://www.replo.app/ to replicate Ecommerce stores and use LLMs to rewrite copy though. That’s automating a huge amount of work.
I’m using LLMs to help me code backend coding tasks that I need done for backend services and API generation and interfacing.
I’ve got a degree in CS, but haven’t programmed professionally in 15 years.
These new tools have allowed me to create something even larger teams would struggle with on my own in a matter of months.
I’m astonished at the progress I’m able to make without much assistance.
There is often something I’ll need to sit and debug or figure out the name for if I want to ask Google or the LLM helping me code, but that’s about it.
As far as I’m concerned, that means I haven’t needed to hire at least 2-3 full time engineers, be fully bootstrapped, and profitable from day 1 at launch.
Maybe I’ll hire people in the future, but so far the LLMs have replaced engineers, copywriters, designers, and customer support roles. I can handle it all on my own or have the LLM (in the case of customer support) do a decent enough job that I don’t even have to do it anymore.
I’m currently working with Digistain (S21) and we’re using AI to predict breast (and eventually other) cancer recurrence.
The tests are performed using infrared spectroscopy to measure protein synthesis and then fed into AI in order to make proper measurements and predictions.
We’ve shown we’re able to predict better than any other known method and are beginning our partnership and rollout to many hospitals around the world.
Run it while you’re not in the house as in the concentrations they can put out it is damaging to lung tissue.
This is how hotels clear out smoke smells in rooms for instance.
Once you run it for a few hours, you can open things up and air it all out and the smells should mostly be gone unless there’s an active source of smell.
I did it while restoring an old house previously occupied by a smoker and hoarder. Would just run it at night when nobody was there and open the house in the morning when ready to get back to work on renovations.
It worked wonders.
Makes the founder a hefty sum.
The best of luck to you and your team.
The long road ahead will be worth it.
I constantly see people for all kinds of interesting medical issues that aren’t being solved by medicine.
Most people know about smokers quitting with ease and without withdrawals.
I had someone who would hear the word “cat” and break out in hives.
Another person who had irritable bowel go away after getting over some traumatic experience from their past.
Even my own experience with debilitating migraines gone with just a few minutes of work with a trained professional. They haven’t come back since.
It’s of course not a cure all. You probably won’t reverse blindness or anything. But it works for more than you’d expect.
Medicine is wonderful. So is the mind. Use both to get better.
The value of the advice has been tested over the last 15 years with many happy students returning over and over again.
We’ve got people in the UN doing good work.
We’ve had people find love.
Entrepreneurs get funding and lead their own companies.
We’ve got a book in the works. It seems better though to teach things live with this kind of experiential skill.
It’s meant to get people offline and into the real world, but the communication methods are applicable in online discussions as well.
Whether they use it to get ahead at work, enhance their relationship with a partner, relate to their kids, gain new friendships, sell something important, or just be able to be in their own company, that’s something that enhances everything they do.
I think it’s cool because it’s my small way of connecting a world that has been slowly drifting apart and is in need of coming together to solve huge divides and problems that are to come.
