As a millennial, I can't say the kids are missing out on much. The industry for the last decade or so have been fairly stagnant and generally un-inspirational. Phone gaming is an exception... between Fruit Ninja and Genshin Impact; they basically recapitulated the enitre history of games, went from arcade to AAA in one decade. There are some gaming podcasts I can't stop listening to (because I liked the hosts since high school) but I almost despise gaming itself by now. I haven't outgrown it because I got Zelda when it came out 2017 and loved it... but almost all games just retread and retread. AAA needs a revolution of some kind. Whatever Gen Z is doing is probably time better spent. Apparently they're playing Chess and Wordle and doing the crossword, with the occasional GAAS distraction on the phone.

Sad in a way, because a single brain is estimated at 250T for just synapses, (or ~1,000T for active dendritic spines). Even the biggest models from the best funded labs are microscopic because of the energy inefficiencies... at least no one has to worry about superhuman models for at least a few decades.
