And you can actually see the value decrease. So you can see how it's like every time you have to find something new, it doesn't remember anything.

It's funny because I think nuclear waste is a good analogy. You could also think about it as nuclear power, right? Because nuclear power has the ability to destroy, but also to actually give energy to humanity. So I think there's actually those two sides. But one of the things that I like about this analogy, as you said, is that once data is out there, you're never going to get it back.

I teach this class on the ethics of data, and there's always people who say, well, I don't care about my personal data being out there because I have nothing to hide. And I, in some way, understand that sentiment, right? Because it feels like it's, first of all, an impossible task. There's not much you can do.
