"If the new tech isn’t true artificial intelligence, then what is it? In my view, the most accurate way to understand what we are building today is as an innovative form of social collaboration." - Jaron Lanier newyorker.com/science/annals… via The New Yorker

We Lakota refer to Trump as a wasicu. A fat taking white man who defecates out of his mouth.

Google just released MusicLM and it's scary good. This will change the music industry as we know it. Here are the best beats created 100% with AI (sound on 🔊):

AI-generated QR codes using ControlNet are insane. This is going to be increasingly common in ads in the near future. These examples blew my mind (try scanning them): 1. Ancient Village

Beyond shameful

Prompt blending in Midjourney is one of my favorite things to do. Instead of blending images, try blending prompts. It generates incredible results with a ton of variety & flexibility. How to prompt blend:

Most people don't know this, but you can create custom parameters in Midjourney. Say you put "--ar 16:9 --stylize 150 --weird 25 --style raw" at the end of every cinematic prompt. You can create a parameter called --cinematic that automatically adds those settings. Here's how

3D stacked UIs #visionOS is too much fun

Testing LCM LORAs in an AnimateDiff & multi-controlnet workflow in ComfyUI. I was able to process this entire Black Pink music video as a single .mp4 input. The LCM lets me render at 6 steps (vs 20+) on my 4090 and uses up only 10.5 GB of VRAM. Here's a breakdown 🧵[1/11]

This feels like someone has a time machine and identified the exact point in history to fork the timeline

with sam and greg ousted yesterday my initial thought yesterday was “shit they have discovered AGI” and the only person who was capable of understanding it was ilya sutskever. now it’s seems even more an more plausible that is the case. to understand the amount of stress and

Sam is honestly 5 steps ahead of everyone. The only reason OpenAI is able to function with all the demand is because of Azure's compute. Sam knows it, and why they signed the deal. But if you read the details, the deal with MSFT specifically only applies to pre-AGI

Breaking News! Well humanity, we did it, even if just for one day. Yesterday, Nov. 18, was the first time in recorded history that the global 2m surface temperature breached 2.0°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline. The long-term average remains below 1.5°C. But not for long.

This is motion capture powered by AI. No suits or markers needed. This was captured using Move Multi-Cam and the motion data can be used to animate 3D characters.

Overall, the text generation accuracy of Midjourney seems to have doubled since the initial release of v6. They are now in a solid position to beat DALL-E in text generation for most use cases, once inpainting is released.

New research revealed LLMs show higher performance when prompted to act as gender-neutral or male rather than female. This really pushes the importance of addressing biases that can creep into machine learning models' training data.

Working on something BIGGGGGG

The pace of AR x AI is incredible right now. 🤯 And it's just the beginning. Here are 13 incredible use cases of AR I've ever seen:

Ilya founded SSI with the plan to do a straight shot to Artificial Super Intelligence. No intermediate products, no intermediate model releases. Many people (me included) saw this as unlikely to work since if you get the flywheel spinning on models / products, you can build a
