Now you can listen to KIP's Emerging Narrative...thanks to AI voice generator

Consider this audio a companion to the Bigger Picture video of various quotes I’ve collected rather than a mirror image…there’s more to this multifaceted story.

A unique curation of emergent voices describing this moment we find ourselves in.
— KIP

This is my first experiment with AI voice generation using a script made from individual quotes from civic participators I’ve been tracking for last past 7 years, describing this moment we find ourselves in. Quote credits in the images below and a full list to come.

2024 Progress Report: The Bigger Picture

Wearing my ‘serial founder exploring starting a company’ hat, I advanced my passion project KIP3.

KIP is a seven-year long passion project to tackle the disinformation problem on social media that makes us poor information citizens and polarized neighbors who cannot take collective action in the face of threats like the climate crisis.

The bigger picture, in your words

With my KIP project to make sense in the social age and surface the best civic participators - or members of “the Fifth Estate”, - I’ve been collecting the contributions on Twitter.

For a couple years I made graphic images of quotes I spied. I put some of them together into a larger narrative of our time, and this moment. Take a look!

Below is a short version of the narrative in the video. See the video for quote credits.

Good news from The Presidio Trust Board of Directors

Which national park had 9.6M visitors this past year - Yosemite? Zion? Grand Canyon? Nope, they had about half that. Answer is: The Presidio.

What a pleasure it is to see the accomplishments of the Presidio Trust - and Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy - at last night’s public board meeting.

We also heard about a collaborative plan to extend The Presidio’s nature corridor throughout San Francisco, to green this city and pioneer a model for the nation, starting with local low income poor health areas.

Thanks to Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and the Inflation Reduction Act, The Presidio will be able to update the WW2 infrastructure of the park.
