One, I'm not new to these issues. I've been interested in AI for decades and thought plenty about the existential and ethical implications, though since I'm not a public figure I appreciate you have no way of knowing that. But I am very up to speed on this topic, as much as one can be without being directly involved in the industry/academic research.

Two, I would generally not set aside an hour of my time for a video without at least some indication of what it's about. I'd rather spend that time reading than in the 'hot' medium of video.

Three, I find this video deeply suspect. It purports to document a 'private' gathering, yet it's clearly a well produced event that was intended to be documented and shared on video. People who actually want to keep a thing private are generally well able to keep it private. So while the participants have a valid point of view with many legitimate arguments, the facts of its existence suggest to me that it was absolutely intended to become public, and the 'private gathering!!' is essentially a marketing hook.
