do I feel conflicted that my first >1mil impression poast was just sharing Ben’s good idea?

yes.

do I subscribe to the idea, as I heard Bjarke Ingels say on Tetragrammaton, that the source of an idea is far less important then paying attention and making sure you support the best ones regardless of where they originated?

yes.

will I take advantage of the opportunity to bring AI bangers to the 1k+ new followers?

hell yes.
