I was offered an agreement that, for me personally, raised difficult long-term questions about rights, future technological use of identity and voice, the ability to speak freely, and compensation. Ultimately, it just wasn’t something I felt comfortable signing. I genuinely wish everyone involved well. But preserving my autonomy mattered more to me.

Fair enough.

I don’t know if this movie holds up, but back in the day I loved it.

Might’ve'd something to do with the fact that I’ve seen it as a wee boy alone in the hospital with a broken foot and no prior knowledge about it.
