I find it hard to blame the young ambitious teenager and much easier to blame the grown-ass adults in supervisory roles who apparently can't cite a single violation by name and later violently steal a kid's phone.

The kid might have some things to learn, sure, but the adult behavior is what I would call "super immature".

I’m actually pretty tired of young ambitious assholes who build themselves off of other people’s misery, and I choose to not celebrate it. That said, the university overreacted.

I agree about the adults but I can blame both.

The teenager is on a trajectory to become a very capable person, technologically.

They are also behaving like a sociopath and may well be on a trajectory to cause an awful lot more harm than good in the world.

This event could have been a great teaching moment if it was handled by an adult with the capacity to execute on it.

Everyone sucks here and the future is.worse for.it.

the "young ambitious" horrible human being. but his "parents are in the army", so it's all good.
