The loudest story about AI is a lonely one. One person with an army of chatbots. Other humans are friction.
That gets the future wrong. The best things aren’t built alone.
In a moment of change, we want to remind the world (and ourselves) what Notion stands for:
— Think Together

[Deep Media @DeepMedia_AI]

Most AI detection tools break under pressure.
Compressed video. High-stakes moments. No clarity. No trust.

We’re proud to collaborate with @witnessorg on the TRIED Benchmark, a new standard for real-world AI detection.

“Generative AI is going to be awesome—but only if we make it safe.”

At Deep Media, we know this is a shared responsibility: governments, platforms, GenAI companies, journalists, and yes—detectors.

We're proud to be building solutions that help people know what’s real and what’s fake.

[TBPN @tbpn]

We asked @pippalamb from @sweet_capital to break down the US-UK trade deal.

"The reaction has been very positive broadly. Markets reacted well to it."

"It hit some key points around steel and autos, which both sides potentially see as a blueprint for how the US engages with other trade partners."

"I would like to see things move into US-UK tech partnerships. We should really push the needle on AI, defense, robotics etc."

"If you look at Europe, there's traditionally been an issue of getting scaled capital to the pre-IPO companies." - @pippalamb (partner at @sweet_capital)

"There are a lot of seed stage VCs and US counterparts. The UK has also continued to welcome firms like @a16z and @sequoia, but it raises questions as to why the UK doesn't have more homegrown funds at later stage."

[Pippa Lamb @pippalamb]

Heading to DC for a week of meetings, hmu if you’re in town 🇺🇸🇬🇧

[Ian Hogarth @soundboy]

1/ there is a movement building in Europe for hard tech ambition and not capitulating to lazy bottlecap memes. I'd like to shout out a few of the people I see leading the charge:
