This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
I’m very, very happy [with] how the movie turned out.
I hope it reminds people that there is a remarkable amount of strength and a remarkable amount of power in even one small frontline person.
My hope is that he watches the movie and sees Jeremy Strong’s performance and asks himself, ‘Do I want to be living this life? Is this the legacy that I want?’
I hope he watches it. I hope he uses this moment of reflection and inflection to say, ’Do I want to make the same choices as I explore AI as I did as I explored social media?’
