Some Changes at The Gradient

Collaborations

The Gradient has been a hub for collaborative projects, often developed with community members and partners. Andrey Kurenkov shares his experience with Skynet Today, a project aimed at combating AI misinformation and hype. This initiative evolved into "Last Week in AI," a newsletter and podcast summarizing AI news across various domains 1. He also highlights memorable interviews, including one with AI artist Helena Saren, who was active in AI art before the advent of advanced text-to-image models 2. Kurenkov reflects on these projects, emphasizing their role in providing context and clarity in the AI field.

   

Acknowledgments

Acknowledging the contributions of team members is crucial to The Gradient's success. Daniel Bashir and Andrey express gratitude for the dedication of contributors like Cole Frank, Jamie Shung, Sharut Gupta, and Justin Lande, who have been instrumental in maintaining the newsletter's quality 3. Despite being a side project for many, the passion and commitment of these individuals have kept The Gradient thriving. Bashir notes, "You all have just been so wonderful to work with, so thoughtful. You have very different writing styles, different interests, and it's really wonderful to get to put that together in the newsletter we pull out."
