Yeah, I think it's not that that wasn't the real me or that wasn't a valuable time of my life. It's just that I think it's important to have healthy boundaries between your personal identity and your identity at work. I think Americans live to work when it's something that you do to live. And like all industries, fundamentally, their jobs, right? They're just their industries.

I see LA as like a company town in the same way that like a coal mining town in Virginia is a company town, right? Or DC is a company town because everyone works in politics and it's just work. And L.A. is very much like the D.C. of the West Coast. When you think about like our consular core and all of the different geopolitics that are actually L.A. makes itself very relevant to.

So like all of these different industries and there's a lot of overlap, too. So when I was, again, in that period of time during the Obama years. There was a lot of overlap between DC and Hollywood, like a lot, a lot.

And it's funny that people that I've run into or the contacts that I have in my phone vis-a-vis that that relationship, that special relationship, especially when the person who ran your company was like a major Democratic donor.

As someone who advocated for creators' rights, I don't think, first of all, AI is not new. Like the generative AI that we're seeing, we've had algorithms driving things for a long time now. And a lot of the underlying technology that we're talking about is actually not all that new. And algorithms have been influencing us and influencing our lives now.

As consumers, as people who are exposed to media for a long time, you think about the curation of your social media feed, the algorithm that drives what you see every day. When it comes to generative AI or open AI as an example, I don't think it is a positive change for the industry, for these larger companies to think, oh, here's our excuse to either eliminate people's jobs or to underpay people.

Because at the end of the day, generative AI, it's not generating anything unique. It's taking what's given, right? And regurgitating out. It's not even, I wouldn't even call it a derivative work because there's no work being done by a person. It's not creation. We don't call it creative AI. It's generative AI because you're just generating something from a prompt.

When people say that part of the reason why WGA and SAG-AFTRA and other unions were renegotiating their contracts with the studios and were picketing is this idea that AI is going to be used to abuse workers, which very well can be. And we see that that's what happens. And to create content that isn't really art. So some people say generative AI, AI generated art is art.

And I think that's a misnomer because it's an excuse. Art is an action. It's something that you do something and it reflects a craft. It reflects technical skill that you have to develop over time. And when, you know, you as an artist, you as a creative are making something or expressing something, you're expressing a point of view that is your own. You have to be the author of

That point of view or that thing that you're creating. And it requires technical skills. And if we say that someone who's like a prompt engineer sits down and throws in a couple of prompts to chat to PT and generates a screenplay, that person is not a writer for having inputted a full different prompts and generate...
