If you haven’t seen The Iron Giant, please give it a watch. If you only remember it as a kids’ movie, give it another look.

There’s something really moving about a boy seeing a friend where everyone else sees a threat. And about having the power to hurt people and choosing who you want to be.

With everything we’re talking about around AI, fear, and the future, I keep thinking about that.

It’s funny, beautiful, and has so much heart. I’d love more people to experience it. That movie shaped who I am today.
