    I had time to watch up until 12:41. I watched the film Artificial at the NYFF, and I saw many Americans I have met in the role of Sam Altman. For that reason I liked the role, because for the first time in film history I felt it was an opportunity for many people to see parts of themselves in a mirror. Having said that, I am not afraid of AI. I view it as a sophisticated tool that needs regulation and I have given presentations in my previous career in IP law in 2024 and 2025 of how it has helped many people in the community create their own inventions or make their own discoveries quicker. David Baker used AI for his computational protein design where he was awarded the 2024 nobel prize for Chemistry. I like Rod Stewart's response to AI in the arts world, in that a tool as sophisticated as AI can never mimic his singing voice!

    So many reporters out there who don't upspeak and they had to choose an upspeaking one. Why? Even if you only lose 10% of untolerant listeners I fail to understand. Props to Garfield's oustanding immunity to upspeak.
