Today Mirror Mirror AI is launching the marketplace where fashion models license their likeness and brands get stunning AI-generated imagery featuring real people. Commercially licensed, model-approved. Try our platform: As a fashion model I used to spend hours on fashion photoshoot sets. I later did my PhD in CS and became a Research Scientist on AI for fashion. I can see clearly that AI image generation is replacing a large portion of my old job. But brands that use AI recklessly have already paid the price. It damages reputations and hurts the bottom line. Putting real people at the core of AI-generated imagery isn't just about avoiding backlash. It's better business. That's what Mirror Mirror AI is built for. Right now, Mirror Mirror AI houses agency-signed models who have graced the covers of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. You can digitally book them using our fashion-centric AI software, get your campaign done in hours instead of weeks, and never have to fly anyone in. You purchase a license for commercial use upon approval, and the models get paid. Mirror Mirror AI is also opening a global call for independent models from anywhere in the world to apply to be featured on the platform. Work with fashion brands internationally, choose the projects you take on, and earn from your own likeness on your own terms. Selected models will be announced at an exclusive event in New York during Tech Week this June. Apply for the open call: A huge thank you to our incredible team for pouring their hearts into this launch, and to a16z speedrun for believing in our vision from the start. We're just getting started.

"There are no entertaining moments in 'Mirror' (1975). In fact I am categorically against entertainment in cinema: it is as degrading for the author as it is for the audience." --- Andrei Tarkovsky Full Excerpt: "'Mirror' (1975) is an autobiographical film. The things that happen are real things that happened to people close to me. That is true of all the episodes in the film. But why do people complain that they cannot understand it? The facts are so simple, they can be taken by every one as similar to the experience of their own lives. But here we come up against something that is peculiar to cinema: the further a viewer is from the content of a film, the closer he is; what people are looking for in cinema is a continuation of their lives, not a repetition. There are no entertaining moments in the film. In fact I am categorically against entertainment in cinema: it is as degrading for the author as it is for the audience. The purpose of 'Mirror', its inspiration, is that of a homily: look, learn, use the life shown here as an example. There are so many films now, and they are all so different, that very soon it will be impossible to plan for distribution to cinemas. That will be the beginning of a new phase in the development of film, which is after all the youngest art form, it is only about seventy years old. Films will start to be handed out as cassettes, people will take them home, every viewer will find himself face to face with the film he particularly likes. And what of cinema, the mass medium, you may ask ? Mass is not a criterion of quality. The same could be said about the number of people involved in the making of a film. Numbers are not the point. A small team working together is preferable to a large collective. Another question: What is going to happen to Mirror? We don't know yet. For the moment the film is only being shown in three cinemas, and they started with two. They are trying it out first, because the organs responsible for distribution are afraid it might be a failure. When they heard that people sat on and wouldn't leave, one of the highly placed distribution officials observed that normal people leave the cinema." [A talk by Tarkovsky in the Building Institute, 1975 about his film 'Mirror' (1975)]

Convention wisdom is that bioweapons are humanity's greatest weakness – 100x cheaper to make than to defend against. Andrew Snyder-Beattie thinks conventional wisdom is likely wrong. He has a plan cheap enough to do without government. Useful even in worst case scenarios like mirror bacteria. Effective enough to save most people. In one of my all-time fav interviews he lays out a low-tech 4-step approach developed by his research team at Open Philanthropy, to fix a problem most have thought unsolvable. ASB is hiring for many roles in this project from logistics to biotech to manufacturing, and has $100s millions to deploy.
