This is a follow-up of some of my posts related to Meta Stack Exchange posts related to Prashanth's words.
During 2023 staff have brought the words of Prashanth, the Stack Overflow, Inc. CEO, to this community. Some have shared their perspective, but I haven't gotten comments and answers from someone representing the company. I understand that not all posts can be answered and commented on by staff; I am not complaining. This request asks to point to public records, such as posts here, a blog article, a podcast, or anything available on the Web to help humble users understand Stack Overflow's top management short and long-term vision about moderators, understanding them as users using the moderation privileges to keep communities healthy, useful and attractive to real-life subject matter experts.

Prashanth vocabulary
I have identified that Prashanth has used the term "community" to refer to different concepts, sometimes to refer to a broad and abstract group, and other times to refer to the Stack Overflow community. It was mentioned have been communicating with community members. It's unclear if he is referring to someone belonging to the broad, abstract group who does not know about the conundrums of Stack Overflow and their sister communities or if he is referring to someone trusted by the core community of Meta Stack Exchange.
Offsite Staff communication with community members
I know that Stack Overflow staff sometimes contact users to interview them. I wonder if some of these interviews were led by or included Prashanth as an active participant and if there is a public record of such conversations. I'm particularly interested in knowing if Prashanth has conversed with someone with experience in moderation (upvote, downvote, flag, close to voting, review, etc.) and, more specifically, if that person is familiar with Meta Stack Exchange.

Philippe's answer to Is SE [going to be] selling our content for AI model training? And what exactly does "reinvest back into our communities" mean? help to clarify some Prashanth words: Stack Overflow is doing things to ensure that the revenue that Stack Overflow / Stack Exchanges user-created content generates benefits content creators through investments in the corresponding communities. This is great, but it doesn't answer this specific question. I'm seeking help to find the source that makes Prashanth decide about the Stack Overflow / Stack Exchange needs concerning keeping the communities, as mentioned above, healthy, useful and attractive to real-life subject matter experts.
