Episode notes

You can dial the emotional side, which is probably so powerful for the internet or for social networks. And then hopefully we can sort of build empathy by learning to disconnect all of these social cues that we get from like how a person is dressed. If they're wearing a hoodie or if they's wearing a shirt or if they're using a jacket, you get very different emotional responses. I wish we could overcome as humans and perhaps large language models and augmented reality and deep fakes can kind of help us overcome all that.
