The Gradient is an organization with the missions of making it easier for anyone to learn about AI and of facilitating discu. We were founded in 2017 by a group of students and researchers at the Stanford AI Lab. Our current projects include The Gradient Magazine, The Gradient Podcast, The Update newsletter, and Sigmoid Social. We are a non-profit and volunteer-run effort run by researchers and engineers in the AI community.

Fun fact for long-time Sigmoiders - we've seen more users joining lately, and the active users has generally stabilized at 2k+ users for a while now.

Thank you all for being part of this lovely place :)

Last, but not least, was an entry that received a lot of votes, but wasn't computer generated!

Thanks to @Bebischof for this piece!

The runners-up were from @andrey (using DALLE-2) and @morg (using MidJourney v4). Truly majestic elephants!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the mascot contest!

We have selected the top two to use for our instance --- one as a mascot and one as a logo!

The winning mascot was generated by @Jridge with Parti + Imagen. Awesome!

Hello Sigmoid users!

We wish to notify you of a recent incident - someone created an account and responded to many users with seemingly bot-generated messages. When confronted, they claimed to be a real person and linked to this: https://profiles.stanford.edu/melanie-zhang

The person associated with that link has confirmed to us they did not create the account, so someone was indeed trying to fool users on here. They may attempt again, so please report any suspicious activity using the Report option.
