2. SOUNDBITE (English) Robert Downey Jr., actor:
“Well first up hello Sin City. Let's do this. Uh, it's just so emergent. And the more time I spend with, uh, Harry and Jeff more, I realize, like, it's. So you can barely keep up with that exponential growth, but we literally one in four of us. If not today, then tomorrow soon is going to be online. And because it's so insidious, we're all so busy in the information age. Even the stuff that I felt like I was doing, I was like, I'm proactive, I'm updating my blah blah. It's nowhere near enough. And so it was about creative problem solving with this founder and this, uh, just assassin of a business partner. And it's for me, it's been an amazing education. “

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Robert Downey Jr., actor:
“Yeah, my my Instagram. I got hacked in shortly after. It was just kind of synchronistic. Um, Jeffrey Stout said, hey, we've always been looking for something that we could really do a deep dive on together. And literally just since then, I'm going to tell you guys have a close family member who had a stroke and has been confined to a wheelchair for some time, and they were scammed and defrauded by a third party, claiming to be someone that we both knew and was even using things between the tax and the mom knew about her health history, knew about our history, and when I looked at it, really approximated this other person, even to the point where short voice messages that were left were indicating that it was the same voice as this person. So we all know that this stuff is up and running, but there are an army of bad actors out there, not myself included. I just want to know who you are. This is their daily mission, and it's not. It's nothing personal, it's just business. And yet it really, really freaked out and affected her for health or mental health. And that was two weeks ago“

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Robert Downey Jr., actor:
“Um, well, it used to be this, you know, uh, folks like the the movies, we the TV. And then we would do public service announcements. And so those were was maybe how we made up for our bad karma of making bad movies sometimes. Um, or it used to seem like, generally speaking, when something was emerging, whether it was, uh, political says, you know, whatever was a threat, you know, when people would, uh, you can think of it even with like the, the bonds drive and World War Two. But this was a way, honestly, because the conversations were having this is a huge venture and the conversations were having so personal and passionate about all of the ways that we can use this AI revolution for good. And not a ton of people are really putting their heads there. So we feel that that is the blank space. And that's why it just feels like a natural thing. But to really answer the question, it really is about a part of what I can do. And it's great for me because then I get to pretend that I know it. I actually have to learn it and then share it with other people. But, you know, it is about educating and and raising awareness about this because we're all so busy, we just kind of don't know what's coming.“
