Stability just released their new LLM. It's open-source, has 7bparameters, and its entirely free to use commercially. And its a MASSIVE deal, that has the potential to change up everything in AI Here's why:

Another huge day in the world of AI with announcements from: Snapchat 'My AI' Synthesis AI Google Brain and Deepmind Martin Shkreli Here's a rundown on everything you need to know:

🧵 A big #Midjourney thread on how to write prompts to get good cinematic images. In this thread I’ll build up a single prompt with cinematic elements, and show their effects. Each prompt will use a 16:9 aspect ratio, and to minimise variation I've locked in a seed.

Good info and charts here

Prompt tips for MJ 5.1. Enjoy

These examples don’t reveal anything that could plausibly “disrupt Hollywood” any time soon. But the progress is impressive and the trajectory is clear.

We've seen text-to-image, text-to-3d object, and even text-to-video... Now check out text-to-3d character from Daz 3D. Use natural language to create any character you can imagine in near-AAA game quality and then export that character directly into Blender, Unreal or Unity!

You can easily create your own animated avatar. It takes less than 10 minutes. I'll show you how in 3 simple steps:

I had a lively discussion with Jim Rutt about the WGA and copyright in the age of AI. Check it out!

Google is hosting the first "Machine Unlearning" challenge. Yes you heard it right - it's the art of forgetting, an emergent research field. GPT-4 lobotomy is a type of machine unlearning. OpenAI tried for months to remove abilities it deems unethical or harmful, sometimes

I think this is mostly right. - LLMs created a whole new layer of abstraction and profession. - I've so far called this role "Prompt Engineer" but agree it is misleading. It's not just prompting alone, there's a lot of glue code/infra around it. Maybe "AI Engineer" is ~usable,

I'm absolutely blown away by Runway's #Gen2 using image input. The movement is so natural. Using it with Midjourney is a winning combination. If you want your video to stay true to your image, don't use a text prompt. (Thanks to Uncanny Harry AI and Merzmensch Kosmopol🧑‍🎨🤖 for the tip!).

🪩The State of AI 2023 is now here. Our 6th installment is one of the most exciting years I can remember. The #stateofai report covers everything you *need* to know, covering research, industry, safety and politics. There’s lots in there, so here’s my director’s cut 🧵

This is well worthwhile reading

If you think OpenAI Sora is a creative toy like DALLE, ... think again. Sora is a data-driven physics engine. It is a simulation of many worlds, real or fantastical. The simulator learns intricate rendering, "intuitive" physics, long-horizon reasoning, and semantic grounding, all

Apparently some folks don't get "data-driven physics engine", so let me clarify. Sora is an end-to-end, diffusion transformer model. It inputs text/image and outputs video pixels directly. Sora learns a physics engine implicitly in the neural parameters by gradient descent

I see some vocal objections: "Sora is not learning physics, it's just manipulating pixels in 2D". I respectfully disagree with this reductionist view. It's similar to saying "GPT-4 doesn't learn coding, it's just sampling strings". Well, what transformers do is just manipulating

I’ve used the Apple Vision Pro for 2 weeks now and here are my unfiltered thoughts — you might even call it a hot take 🌶️ 😅 Overall: I'm blown away, absolutely hyped... but also? Frustrated. Why is Apple making it SO HARD to tap into the existing VR media scene? There is a
