A couple weeks ago, he released a chatbot that was tuned on the ever controversial Andrew Tate. Along the way, he also released a tool to help others fine tune LLMs on specific media creators. In this conversation, they talk about what it takes to start building...

If you've ever used Midjourney, Dall-E, Stable Diffusion or another text-to-image generator, you'll know that words are a weakness. Text (such as on signs) tends to be gibberish. DeepFloyd IF has started to solve that problem and it's doing it open source.   Referenced in the video: https://twitter.com/DeepFloydIF https://twitter.com/EMostaque/status/1652295961404645376 https://stability.ai/blog/d...

On Wednesday night I had a "FaceTime" with Call Annie. It's a new app that matches AI language models with an AI avatar to have a more human conversation. The conversation explores AI alignment, X-risk, and much more.

Yesterday ChatGPT announced a number of important updates, including a privacy preserving mode that doesn't record chat history (and doesn't train OpenAI models on chat history) as well as a forthcoming business offering. Many think that the moves are at least in part response to European scrutiny around GDPR compliance. Also yesterday, AI platform HuggingFace announced HuggingChat, an open source...

A case study in the disruptive force of AI to traditional industries. Will they respond as have previous industries in the past have responded to technology wrought change -- with lawyers and intimidation? Or will they adapt and seize new opportunities never before imaginable? How do issues of creativity and copyright fit in?

GPT-4 as most people use it has an 8K token limit. Some already have access to a version with a 32K limit, however, and are reporting hugely different opportunities in terms of what it GPT can do, based on how much more text it can take in and output at once.

For the last 3 weeks, AutoGPT has massively captured the attention of the AI community. But how useful is it really? Some are starting to ask whether it really lives up to the hype.   Watch the original video: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAIBreakdown

We've had many examples of text-to-image but fewer AI models that can interpret images. MiniGPT-4 is a new open source model that can look at an image of food and give you the recipe, look at a white board mockup of a website and give you the code, look at a picture of a person and their dog at sunset and write a poem.
