We don't want A.I. to engage in cyberbullying, stock manipulation, or terrorist threats; we don't want the F.B.I. to release A.I. systems that entrap people into committing crimes. We don't want autonomous vehicles that drive through red lights, or worse, A.I. weapons that violate international treaties.

I went from silent films to watching French new wave cinema. I became entrapped by it all. That's when I knew I wanted to do film. The moment you start looking at film from a critique point of view - there's a difference between watching a film as an audience and with a critical point of view.

I'm a writer. The more I act, the more resistance I have to it. If you accept work in a movie, you accept to be entrapped for a certain part of time, but you know you're getting out. I'm also earning enough to keep my horses, buying some time to write.

Moral Dilemma

 pollution is a huge issue for us here in the Mediterranean. Sea turtles can get entangled in it, they can ingest it as well. The females, as they come up to nest on the beach, the plastics can get in the way as well. So there's a lot of different places that they are encountering these plastic. Another threat is hooks and sea turtles can either ingest these hooks so we can see an x-ray of a turtle here where the hook is actually in the intestinal tract of the turtle. It's made it, it's swallowed it, and it's made it all the way to the intestines. The hooks can also get entangled on their squint, their skin and their flippers. They can get entangled or entrapped in nets, so sea turtles can hold their breath for up to four hours in the water but when they're entrapped in a net, that's very, very difficult while they're fighting to hold their breath for that long. we were talking a bit before, now you were saying that the turtles, they're not leaving the harbour, is that right?
