Give them ample warning. Give them context so they can prepare. Remind them frequently of its importance. Be calm when it happens. Don’t panic when it goes sideways (it usually does). Look for learnings. Share those learnings. And repeat. Like forever.

Every Sora headline these days is about how some new celebrity or content owner is asking them to crack down or block deepfakes.
Perhaps they can turn lemons into lemonade the same way YouTube did by making deals with all of the major content owners and then cornering the video sharing market.

I feel lucky I grew up watching the explosion of the internet, culminating in the ubiquity of smart phones. Connecting humanity was our generation’s moon landing.
I feel cursed living through the innovation drought. Everything today feels designed to exploit the connected.
