  • If there was a sixth star, I’d give that one too

    It is as it describes, a collection of exceptional TED presentations added in with extra insight and breakdown. I haven’t once walked away from one of these without having learned something and be inspired or at least greatly informed that in turn allows me to approach the days ahead differently. Thank you to all who make it possible, you all should be proud of what you deliver, truly amazing.

  • Your ad talking about "creating photos from memories using ai" is misleading. AI generated photorealistic images are *not* photos. Just like photorealistic art painted by an artist is not a photo either.
