I had to have a hard conversation with my wife and in-laws about posting pictures of my son online. They agreed but didn’t get it. Once AI deepfakes became common, they got it.

You could be alive in 60, 70 more years. After who knows what changes to law, culture, tech, everything. Naomi Brockwell said something like "If someday we decide we hate red haired people, we will not look only at the photos people uploaded after we decided that. We will go back through the pictures people posted long ago." She was speaking metaphorical ofc. "Red hair" could be anything.
