Summary:

Kpt is an OSS tool for Kubernetes packaging. It uses a standard format to bundle, publish, customize, update, and apply configuration manifests. Kpt operates like kubectl, providing additional functionality to prune and delete configuration.

What is "real news"? Anyone with some Wordpress experience and a domain can make their own "news site" and publish "real news".

I don't want to confirm or deny this: Singapore, Russia, China, and other countries are already doing this at a far more malicious and massive scale.

We're at least hoping people would understand how "AI generated news articles" look like, so one day they can spot them and know that the news you're reading is not real news.

If you give us a title: "Woman breaks world record in March of 2020". We'll give you a pretty decent article about it. So we're not rewriting what's been written; we're generating content itself.

We not working with anyone at the moment. When we do we'll announce it publicly and work with an ethics team to ensure we're only supporting good actors (we know bad actors are on the look out for services like us).

Thanks! I promised some people that I'd write a blog post (and I will soon), but here's the basics:

Article lifecycle goes through job queues. This was because: wanted to learn queues :) and because I'm running this operation with Colab to create the content (so in the event Colab fails or goes down, I'll be able to requeue in my dashboard).

Source is just headlines. I just take headlines from RSS feeds and generated both articles and headlines based off that.

I used Ghost. I could've used WP, but haven't used WP before.

1. I'm no journalist, but I'm fairly sure there's some news sites that break the news first and then others follow (either through primary or secondary sources)

2. I haven't implemented fact-checking algos. At the moment I'm not planning to use AI for it, just simple cross referencing (not finalized).

3. When we do start momentum, we'll get on board a highly specialized ethics team and safety team. We're not a state actor or influenced by anyone so we're just creating gimmick-y articles on the internet for now. We'll eventually combat those issues if and when similar services pop up.

One reason we want to be first is that we know state actors are going to pop up soon. Singapore, Russia, Philippines, the list goes on for which they want something like us to control propaganda. We're hoping we'll be able to gain enough momentum before they start (or get further along than they already are at) to set a good solid standard. But with all things, this will take time and deliberation.
