  • Publication number: 20260023836
    Abstract: A method includes verifying an identity of a first user based on one or more first reference images of the user. The method also includes determining, based on a prompt provided to a computing system by the first user, a context and whether the prompt references the first user. The method further includes retrieving, from a first private memory store associated with the first user, the one or more first reference images based on the first user having granted permission to use the one or more first reference images. The method still further includes generating, using a generative AI model, a media item based on the context, the prompt, and the one or more first reference images. The method also includes displaying the generated media item via a user interface associated with the first user.

  • Publication number: 20250328731
    Abstract: A system and method for typeahead image generation are provided. The method may include receiving, via a user interface during a prompting session, a text prompt describing an image. The method also may include generating, via a trained diffusion model, the image representative of the text prompt. The method further may include determining, via the trained diffusion model, a reconciled risk score based on a determined risk score of the text prompt and a determined risk score of the generated image. The method even further may include causing, via the trained diffusion model in response to the determined reconciled risk score, to (i) approve the generated image in an instance in which the determined reconciled risk score meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold, or (ii) deny the generated image in an instance in which the determined reconciled risk score fails to meet the predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20140309005
    Abstract: The method for playing cards provides a high scoring option and a low scoring option during each hand, including computer-implemented card games and game systems, such as card games distributed across a plurality of computing devices. Players take turns drawing a card from a master stack or a discard stack, and discarding a card in return. The cards have point designations. A High Game tally adds points to the winner's tally and a Low Game tally subtracts points from the winner's initial pool of points. The deck of card embodiments for use with the card game method can include indicia that can indicate point values for the card. A score card for use with the card game method includes a High Game tally column and a Low Game tally column. The deck of cards includes new designs.
