They mentioned one potential use that I thought has value and that I hadn't considered. For video conferencing, this could transmit data without sending video and greatly reduce the amount of bandwidth needed by rendering people's faces locally. I don't think that outweighs the massive harms this technology will unleash. But at least there was some use that would be legit and beneficial.
I'm someone who has a moral compass and I don't like that scammers will abuse this shit so I hate it. But there's no keeping it locked away. It's here to stay. I hate the future / now.
