Like others, I think the categories are a bit iffy. But tbh It's really hard to correctly delineate stuff. Terms like 'IDE', 'workspace', 'pipeline', 'workflow' and 'platform' all end u

Hmm well I believe reddit made up a huge portion of the training data for GPT2 but yes, tbh I have no support for the claim that that's the case with current versions. Anyway, I guess if we consider a forum as following the general sca

Considering its corpus, to me it makes almost no sense for it to be more helpful when offered a tip. One must imagine the conversation like a forum thread, since that’s the type of internet content GPT has been trained on. Offering another

Yes to that. And this may be my own risk-averseness, but I don't have complete confidence in all these derivative instruments anyway. I don't have time or sufficient interest to look into the construction of ETFs and how their hol

Oh indeed. I believe these models should be uncensored. But as we’ve seen with the latest SD model, and with the much more locked down ‘LLM-fronted’ image generators from OpenAI and Google, safety is a massive concern and so they’ve been ri

This is so quick! The demo being publicly consumable is powerful, though SDXL is not immune to abuse or NSFW (and possibly illegal) generations. I wonder who ends up being held accountable for such generations.

Check out https://scenario.gg - they let you train your own LoRAs on custom images of a character (you need around 20 or so images from different angles for good consistency). A bit simpler, and actually still pretty decent is I

I’ve been thinking about the anger response recently as me and my partner are thinking about becoming parents. Some of our friends with children seem to be liable to anger, and it is quite a stereotype of parents around the world using ange

I definitely see it as self-serving too, yes, but I also see it as a convenient temporary alignment of incentives. The world and its regulators definitely need time to adjust and educate themselves, so I'm glad for now that they'r

With everything we've seen in the last couple years, do you sincerely believe that all of those points won't be solved pretty soon? There are many intermediary models that can be used to remove these kind of artefacts. Human motio

"The world doesn't work that way". Quite pessimistic a position to hold here, no? We–in technology especially–are in positions of significant leverage. We should be talking about how we can limit the negatives and bolster the

Nah just fine-tune the model to a specific set of characters or aesthetic. It's not hard, already done with SDXL LoRAs. You can definitely generate a whole movie from just a storyboard.. if not now, then in maybe five yrs.

Very problematic. How does the vehicle know which pole to talk to? How does it know it’s not incorrectly communicating with a pole on a parallel or perpendicular road, for example? Or indeed a road that is below another road, as sometimes o

Yeh. Makes it intimidating to try to make a startup until you realise it’s just generic polish over some cobbled-together SaaS APIs and docker containers. That’s what depresses me. You don’t need good tech, you just need business sass, mark

Yep I've encountered so so many of these too. It's amazing how obvious they are even to the most primitive filter, so I'm just at a complete loss as to why X/Twitter is so disincentivized to fix it ... especially given E

What a marvellous article. One thing I’ve never quite appreciated in neuroscience is how useful physical movement is as a debugging layer. During a task, in observing gaits, tremors, speed, accuracy, etc., you’re able to gain a deeper under

This suggests, more than ever, that human curation and review is absolutely crucial. The sad thing about this is that it just lends more power to monopolistic publishers and renowned critics and away from people who, without access to such
