for any company where AI-generated content might potentially compromise integrity or user safety, check this out
6 Feb 2024
No one wants to lose users because of fake AI content. Whether you're an ad platform, a dating app, or a news site—consumers lose trust in a platform flooded with AI-generated content, risking churn and reputational damage.
Excited to launch Nuanced, a YC-backed solution for detecting AI-generated images and deepfakes. 🚀
Nuanced solves these challenges via:
1. Custom models trained in zero PII environments.
2. Easy integration supported by your existing infrastructure.
You'll never have to compromise user privacy, build costly internal systems, or take on complex integrations.

Asian Americans allowing themselves to be used to scapegoat Black people & end Affirmative Action is particularly tragic given Asians were only able to immigrate to the United States b/c Black civil rights leaders passed immigration reform & demanded Asians receive equal access😐

compelling, thoughtful coverage by @CestRommel on the human impact of long-term flooding on an immigrant neighborhood in queens, ny. as climate change worsens, stories like these will only become more prevalent unless changes are made

1/6 Since last year, residents of Hollis, Queens impacted by Hurricane Ida told me stories that highlighted a flawed bureaucratic system and illuminated a deeper problem with rainfall water that goes back four generations. @Documentedny /@ClimateCentral climate.documentedny.com/

“to live as an artist is a practice of paying attention” @RickRubin
like this a lot, gels well with an idea i’ve been toying with that when you’re present, *existing is research.* if you pay close enough attention to any moment, there’s always a thread hanging there to pull on.

Three years ago we clapped and cheered for our healthcare heroes as they literally risked their lives during a pandemic. Now nurses are forced to strike to seek fair compensation and safer patient-staff ratios.
The whiplash is a lot.

The fundamental driver of homelessness in US cities is a lack of housing supply — not drug use, poverty, mental illness, or climate.
This explanation from @JerusalemDemsas should end the debate once and for all:

Yes, there is no intrinsic meaning or purpose in your life. This is difficult; it’s also the reason there’s possibility for you. The task of living is to invent meaning and purpose, and then invent it again. It’s work. Much of the time it’s painful. Sometimes, it’s also joy. 3/

"For any of these new solutions to work for climate, they have to have at least these two ingredients: the technology that scales and the relationships and empathy that we share... Technology can only bring half the solution. The community brings the other half."

Devastated.
“For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?” - bell hooks
May this giant rest in love.

❤️ “to attend to something properly is to resacralize it”
“how many illegible others have perished because we did not attend to them?”
“attention is not sufficient, but i think it is a prerequisite for all that is good and valuable and worth living for.”
