    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.

    In this particular example, data collected by humans are used to generate solutions to problems.

    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.

    I’m obsessed with iNaturalist – it’s strengthened my connection with the natural world more than I can tell you. Great talk!

    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.

The Invisible Threat Taking Away Our Brightest Minds | Drew McCartor | TED

Lead poisoning robs the world’s kids of millions of IQ points a day and kills more people than wars, natural disasters and road accidents combined — yet we treat it as a problem we’ve already solved. Drew McCartor, who runs the nonprofit Pure Earth, has spent nearly two decades proving it doesn’t have to be this way. He presents their three-step fix that’s already working in places from Georgia to Ghana, and makes the case that we can finally beat a crisis hiding in plain sight. (This ambitious idea is part of The Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.) (Recorded at TED2026 on April 14, 2026)
