  2. Looking for a place where I can browse public domain images, so I can make one image like my official profile picture across several places. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can find non generated public domain images? I did find this, but unsure if any of these are generated slop. Looking for cat images. unsplash.com/images/stock/publ #Picture #PicturesPures #PublicDomain

  6. Public domain data is the only way to build AI models that are actually transparent. Relying on secret, licensed datasets just hides bias and creates corporate monopolies. We need open sources to ensure fairness and auditability in how these systems learn.
