No moving actors, but there are women's voices among the others in this video:

After seeing your post I looked at them again, and there is clearly a hazy look, but the fact they are all staring hard at the same place near the camera makes me believe the scenes are not acual, but the voice people might be. They are all struggling to create the sounds, too. It could be slightly hard, like the work confronting actors on Star Trek portraying Klingons, etc. They all sound a little unconvincing, too!

For example, it offers many new ways to look at and analyze research data.
Perhaps it will finally lead scientists to a cure for cancer or neuromuscular diseases.

But for those things and other positive uses of the technology, it has to be managed/controlled.

How do you do that when it can be moved in the blink of an eye?
From a positive use to weaponization.

Look at many of the biological findings, i.e., anthrax and its life cycle.

Great for medical science. But governments, including ours, saw it as a possible weapon, and in fact, did weaponize it and stored it.
A somewhat minor example of the misuse but I think the point should be clear. In the right hands vs the wrong hands.

Something as powerful as new technology should be guarded as closely as possible, if it's not too late already.

Appreciated reading your thoughts. Thank you.

I think I had an unconscious fear of them and backed away from looking at them closely!

I'm glad you saw the post you answered and posted your observation. Now I understand my underlying, unrecognized distancing from those faces!
