There’s a bright orange clover-looking flower that grows in the field where I grew up. I very clearly recall picking them as a small child. I’m 52 now. As a grown up, I googled and searched high and low for the name. I found out after years of not giving up that it’s a dutch flower. How’d it get to a lower southern state other than being carried by wind, weather, or birds? I only found one other close by place in the US that people have recognized this flower. I find that extremely interesting.

What do foundation models do? They also generate solutions to problems. What do they need (and will pay for)? **DATA** — high-quality, real-world, continuous, and labeled.

What do humans do? They generate data (as in this example). What do they need? **SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS** — clear, concise, and complete.

With the inundation of AI slop making it increasingly harder to find real images and videos of animals online, now more than ever is the time to appreciate nature photography and footage.
