/*
Member data for the Members graph on the home page.
To add or edit a member, change an entry below.
- photo: path to a square photo in this folder, for example "members/eric.jpg".
A face-on photo with a plain background works best. Leave it null to use a drawn placeholder.
- areas: research interests. Two members are linked in the graph when they share one.
- facts: each fact becomes a clickable node behind the member's face.
kind is one of "Research", "Building", "Belief about AGI", "Hobby".
Leave kind out for an achievement or any other plain point; it shows with no label.
- links: optional list of { label, url } shown under the member's name.
- Members who have not sent their info yet keep photo null, program "" and empty facts.
