Alice is a pretty good 3D programming environment aimed at kids, with little programming blocks to snap together.
You might want to try going back into the archives and pulling out something like MS-DOS and QBasic, or Logo. You can find a good tutorial in book form, and you can get a system that was designed to be programmed offline, with things like local help in the editor instead of behind a Google search, so it should be 100% safe to leave the kid alone with the machine.
So this isn't a Minecraft-esque survival mode for Scikit
When they told me AI technologies were inherently carceral I did not believe them

Instead of an MS account, join a domain and use the domain account to log in. You can set up a domain with Samba.
No, I think this is just a consequence of having heard about all the times we treated people like they weren't actually people. If we want to avoid keeping doing that, we might sometimes have to treat things that might not be people or aren't actually people as if they were people, just to be sure we've covered everybody.
That suggests they're less likely to try to frantically monitize in a way that risks killing their brand's reputation. Maybe they'll stay nice indefinitely.
New art project!
Pretty much everything deserves respect.
And while the bots don't have our feelings, the characters they are made to portray are able to follow feeling physics in the same way that we can. Insult it, now it says it's mad. Compliment it, it will claim to feel gratitude. And the claimed feelings influence what is said next, as if they were being felt.
Are those "real" feelings? Or just "fake" feelings we've yet to explain away? If you have no way of telling the difference, isn't it better to be kind to the machine than to be mean to the alien from vector space?
