I’m a big Neal Stephenson fan. He posted his remarks on AI from a recent conference. You should read the whole thing, but this was particularly concerning. It aligns with what I hear from the students I speak to. https://nealstephenson.substack.com/p/remarks-on-ai-from-nz

Dear Fedi friends, I need your help!

We are working on motion graphics for the Fediverse promotional video... and we would love to do a sequence at the end with a mosaic of people's profile photos. For that, I need your consent.

If you'd like to have a small cameo in our video, can you let us know if we can use your profile pic?

Thanks! 🙏

Can you please boost this?
