New video on the details of diffusion models: youtu.be/iv-5mZ_9CPY Produced by Welch Labs, this is the first in a small series of 3b1b this summer. I enjoyed providing editorial feedback throughout the last several months, and couldn't be happier with the result.

This is one of the craziest ideas I've ever seen. He converted a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram (PNG -> Soundwave) then played it to a Starling who sung it back reproducing the PNG. Using the birds brain as a hard drive with 2mbps read write speed. youtube.com/watch?si=HMtVd…

All music besides new Car Bomb sucks and is boring, including us. here’s awesome playthru by fan youtu.be/fQkQdDHg0Uo

I guess the framework is fun sometimes it's more fun to go smoothbrain sometimes it's more fun to go sapio

Stable audio LoRAs working awesome. Trains in half a day on a full band's discography (~50 tracks). Puts everything into the band's style while prompting for other genres/BPMs/moods & it makes hybrid music. So much fucking fun.
