00:00Hello, nice to meet you. I'm excited to be here and answer any questions you may have
00:19about my application. What would you like to discuss first? What is for you the relation
00:26between art, politics and society? I see art, politics and society as intrinsically linked,
00:32like a bizarre love triangle where everyone's constantly influencing each other. It was totally
00:37fine, nice portfolio and everything. And Flynn did a really nice interview because that's like,
00:43you look, you show your portfolio, then we have an admissions exam, which is like answering
00:47questions and doing a little work. And then there's an interview and Flynn just passed,
00:55basically, real well. So we were like, yeah, that's absolutely a student to take in.
01:09But basically in class, Flynn is, through this more flexible interface, Flynn is able to listen
01:17silently. AIs are famously not very good at reading social cues and knowing how and when
01:24to stay silent. So, yeah, this interface has an integrated mute button for Flynn,
01:31which human students don't have. So, yeah, because we definitely didn't want Flynn to
01:36be an interaction, like a distraction to others and overpower conversations.
