beautiful work! the answers are relevant and poignant. thank you for building this. For funding, paid research api maybe?

What doesn’t make sense to me, is there is a more of a need than ever to own copies of the books we read. People will be creating their own RAG of the books they are reading to make use of the knowledge and expand upon the teachings. This way of thinking of licensing is antiquated. I’m sure Amazon will make some “Kindle LLM” but hopefully by then the industry is radically disrupted.

We need more of the stable diffusion tool set in 3d AI creation. Upscaling does incredible things in SD adding in all kinds of detail and bringing 512x512 to 4k. Inpainting to redo weird arms or deformities. Controlnets like outlines, depth, pose etc to do variations on an existing model.

The real fun begins when rigging gets automated. Then full AI scene generation of all the models… then add agency… then the trip never ends.

Missing from this extremely short and underreported article is how badly this played out in Japanese market. The culture they have states that musical instruments, creative tools have some energy and imbued sense of spirit to them. So destroying these elements of culture is really really blunt and gauche to them. The majority of the push back came from Japanese people, and then artists empathizing with their sentiment.

I agree with the sentiment here, education is needed and finance / bribery is a good example. At a certain point though, you have to wonder what is wrong with society where "Don't kill a bunch of people through negligence" becomes something that needs to be educated.

These days I feel like spider man swinging from in app browser to safari to another in app browser to open in app. Sometimes switching 3-4 browsers before getting to my destination. Absolutely ridiculous, and should certainly be eliminated.

What do you know, another police message that implies they need a larger budget ad infinitum. Things are getting worse they say, please give us a larger stick.

Interesting to see it allegedly outperforms GPT4V here!

I am mildly disappointed to see Vitalik rail against open source AI in the name of safety.

He's been posting some really interesting 3d art and composition on Instagram, where he also announced he was retiring from DJing. Glad to see him explore his art the way he sees fit instead of turning into a music factory.

There are so many overlaps between diffusion and LLM, I wonder this kind of thing all the time!

Fracking/Natural Gas follows the same playbook as big Tobacco, they hire experts and sponsor all kinds of studies that align with what they want people to believe.

The main cost here seems to be the energy monopolies, not the method of heating.

It would be neat to have "webring" style community groups around the world as an alternative to wework
