It's Just Technology
Announcing Stable Diffusion 3 in early preview, our most capable text-to-image model with greatly improved performance in multi-subject prompts, image quality, and spelling abilities.
The Stable Diffusion 3 suite of models currently ranges from 800M to 8B parameters. This approach aims to align with our core values and democratize access, providing users with a variety of options for scalability and quality to best meet their creative needs.
A group of researchers had artificial intelligence play wargames, and that gives us a good idea for how we could all die. They tested five different large language models and asked them to make decisions in war situations. They told the AIs that this is a real-world situation and not a simulation! Nevertheless, for all models they found a risk that a nuclear war would develop without provocation out of an initially neutral situation. Some AIs are more war-loving than others though.
Alicia Levine, BNY Mellon Head of Investment Strategy weighs geopolitical and policy risks that coincide with an AI-powered rally in markets.
OpenAI just revealed Sora – an AI video generator that creates hyper-realistic scenes and animated worlds in moments. But the tech isn’t perfect. There are also concerns over misinformation, with OpenAI saying it’s taking actions to get ready for the 2024 presidential election, including prohibiting the use of its tools for political campaigning. WSJ dives into how to spot an AI video, and the ways this text-to-video tool could shape the future of content creation.
The realism of AI-generated video is one of the more remarkable, and potentially scary, developments we’ve seen so far with the technology. Oren Etzioni studies artificial intelligence and is the founder of truemedia.org, an organization that fights against AI-based disinformation. Etzioni joined William Brangham to discuss the future of AI.
Sora produces short videos from text prompts.
Marques Browniee discusses the new AI-generated videos by SORA and how far AI video has come in a year.
An intro to Google’s Gemini multi-modal AI model (previously Bard).
They are tiny, they are mighty – and they power the modern world. Computer chips run everything from our smartphones to our dishwashers. Over the years they’ve become ever more powerful – and today, it is their potential to steer Artificial Intelligence that is generating the most attention. But there’s a problem. Producing these super advanced chips is extremely expensive. And that is why Sam Altman – the founder of Open AI – that’s the company behind Chat GPT – is calling for a $7 trillion investment in the industry. DW Business speaks to Chris Miller, Associate Professor of International History at The Fletcher School and the author of a book called “Chip War.”
Review of the Sora text-to-video model. Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user’s prompt.
Sora is an AI model that can create realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions.
Sora is capable of generating entire videos or extending generating videos to make them longer.
