Combating Digital Junk: The Otherweb Solution

Alex Fink, founder of Otherweb, discusses the problem of digital junk and the importance of reliable information. He shares his journey into the world of AI and how he was inspired to combat digital junk. Fink explains the strategies and features that contributed to the rapid growth of Otherweb, including building a community of investors and implementing growth hacks. He also discusses the competition in the media and AI industries and the impact of his background on his mission to provide trustworthy information. AI is more developed for text than audio or video. Video and audio content are harder to filter and detect fakes. AI can be a powerful tool, but it's important to consider the ethical implications and guardrails. Otherweb aims to provide high-quality information and help journalists write better content. The goal is to fix the information ecosystem and build technology for democracies. Entrepreneurs should consider their internal drive and long-term commitment before starting a company.
