The author at 17 years of age can understand academics and research. Has the skills and dedication to go through an exercise of reconstructing state-of-the-art.

I can't help but feel pride and hope for the future, both the author's and the world.

I was watching an ICML presentation and was surprised by the presenter's (not OP, a different AI prodigy) apparent age. Well turns out he was 17 and a 2nd year PhD student. I think he graduated from UC Davis when he was 14 or something.

Some people roll wicked real life DnD character sheets, that's for sure.
