- 1-2-3: Indistinguishable
Welcome to Ponderer's 24th edition.
We’re excited to welcome Candy to Ponderer! She is officially, our first official researcher, curator, and community builder.
Here are 1 idea to ponder, 2 resources to skill up, and 3 tools to try out.
Let’s do it.
PONDER THIS
Indistinguishable
The Big Idea
“How do we know what’s real anymore?” — Roberto Nickson
Roberto explains that last year none of what he is able to do today was possible for him. Just recently he created a video with AI tools that took him about 3 hours to get done from start to finish.
Next year, he predicts, real versus AI-assisted video content will be completely indistinguishable.
These tools will be used to do a lot of good in the world. Inevitably, they will also be used to do the wrong things.
You can find more about it and how he did it, in the resources section below.

I'm on the hunt for a sidekick to join @pondererco and help me build it to the level I originally envisioned.
Here is the TLDR:
1. A clone of me or a clone of @jrdnmix.
2. You can do at least 50% of what I do.
3. This is a remote opportunity.
4. I don't care about your CV… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…— Ricky (@rickyshq)
