Okay, good morning everyone. It is really uh such a joy. Yesterday was so so much fun. Uh really getting together, exchanging ideas, and I'm so excited about this morning to be sitting with Julia and Cameron uh to be talking about AI and anti-semitism. There is a quote from a movie uh that I constantly return to. Uh the movie, the film, better yet, is called The Muppets film, better yet, is called The Muppets Take Manhattan. And and there is a powerful scene in that movie when one of the uh muppet waiters is talking to the chef and the chef is explaining that you you have to expect there's going to be some difficulty in life because and I quote people's is people's people's is people's and I was thinking about that a lot in my own history on social media. I lot in my own history on social media. I have been on social media since August of 2011. I have seen quite a bit. I've been in my own controversies and people pulling me in in a million different directions. I have seen uh anti-semitism, racism, all sorts of things uh bubble up online. What I am curious about and what I want to begin is what is the concern exactly when we are talking about AI and anti-semitism. are talking about AI and anti-semitism. We're no longer as far as I understand talking about people. It's just drawing from this large LLM. What is the unique concern about anti-semitism and its intersection with AI? Julia? >> Yeah, absolutely. I think it's a twofold problem. Um I think that the first is that the LMS LLMs themselves, the large language models are anti-Semitic. Um and this is no accidental phenomenon. Um I think we've all seen uh Grock XI's
