@y_m_asano @iclr_conf Very interested in trying the vision portion of this out. Is this model available to the public?

Very happy to announce that VeRA is accepted at @iclr_conf with scores 8,8,8,5! VeRA makes LoRA ~10x more parameter efficient while retaining the same performance & also works for vision! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2310.11454 Our very light-weight webpage😏: dkopi.github.io/vera/

@neilpatel I would be curious to see humans segmented into expert and novice categories in this study. Would a novice with AI outperform an expert without it? And which of the 2 groups benefits more from AI assistant?

AI-generated ads versus human-generated ads: which converts better? We ran ads on Facebook for 28 different businesses for this experiment. For all 28 businesses, we had multiple ad sets. Between all of the businesses, we spent $7,049,204.24 over 30 days. Keep in mind the businesses had different conversion touchpoints. Some were email addresses, some were purchases, and some were even leads. For the creatives, we used both humans and AI. We were able to produce 1709 variations by humans. With AI we had 4041 variations. Just like with any ads, you remove the bottom-performing variations and you keep adding more creatives in the mix. The end result, human-generated creatives outperform AI-generated creatives 68.3% of the time. And the conversion rate from human-generated ads was also higher. But here is where it gets interesting… we didn’t stop there. We took the winning variations created by humans and had AI create multiple variations of them. With the new campaigns, we took the winning human version versus modified AI variations, and we found that AI won 75.7% of the time. There was a small lift in conversions as well. The moral of the story, AI and humans can produce creatives that convert. A human may be more creative (at least for now), but if you have AI assistance, you will see your performance go up.

@vdutts7 Is this bot able to navigate the website or does it just scrape text from a single page? How accurate is it at navigating multiple levels of links on the page?

5/ 💻: github.com/vdutts7/gpt4v-… Extended convo 😂 :

GPT-4V(ision) Web Scraper 👁️👾- AI agent that can SEE 👁️, control, navigate, & do stuff for you on your browser. Basic skeleton: - Automated web scraper: screenshot page + converts to text - "AutoGPT" style prompting: chat with agent in realtime to guide it across Bing search - Runs in background (customize timeout, system prompts, etc. ) 🧵 Demo + GitHub (build your own scraper) ↓ github.com/vdutts7/gpt4V-…

@vdutts7 How feasible is it to actually use these for webscraping? Can it only screenshot the page you point it to or can it actually navigate the website by traversing links?

4/ Here's the extended convo 😂 :

@berkie1 @mydorchester any chance the city could do a similar revitalization to Blue Hill Ave? #CityRevitalization

In 2010, Lancaster, CA transformed Lancaster Blvd. from a 5 lane road into a tree lined, 2 lane street. The positive impact was immediate with 50+ new businesses opening and $273mm in new economic activity and w/ reduced speeds, traffic related injuries plummeted.

@TheWahooo @OnlyInBOS Maybe if it was a private developer building it. The city has never completed a project on time/budget, it likely won't be done by 2040 either, took them 10 years to add 3 bus stops for Silver Line in Chelsea.

@OnlyInBOS That's OUTRAGEOUS. 2040? Really??? Should be completed in 2-3 years tops.

West Station is a planned station on the MBTA Commuter Rail Framingham/Worcester Line, to be located in the former Beacon Park Yard. The station will cost $100 million to build. Harvard University has promised $50 million to fund the station. The station won't open until 2040.

@NubiusAdultStar @DarraghCMurphy @MBTA @BostonFire This intentional sabotage has been decades in the making, it's called neglected maintenance.

Bus on fire on Washington Street just outside Forest Hills. Kudos to the driver for safely driving their ON FIRE bus into the @MBTA yard. Also kudos to @BostonFire for arriving in less than a minute and putting out the fire.❤️🙏🏼 🔥 #bospoli Please stay safe out there today.

@kaDeals2015 @harmonyprotocol According to Reddit, Harmony team actually wanted a real repeg, but @stse pushed this proposal singlehandedly, ignoring what others have said. It's becoming more apparent that the rumors about him being a dictator were actually true.

@harmonyprotocol 1/ For reals? This was what y’all came up with? Welp, good bye. It’s time for Harmony to say good night coz I am shocked by the audacity and nonsensical mess of these proposals. 4weeks and this was what harmony core team came up with?

The reimbursement proposal is posted and available for feedback. We encourage the #HarmonyONE community to read and engage in conversation with each other and the core team. Thank you for your patience as we work to move forward together as ONE. Link: talk.harmony.one/t/reimbursemen…

@night7576 @harmonyprotocol "Disappointing" is not the word I would've picked. This proposal is ridiculous.

@vishaeth @ol_smoothie @0xDeFire @harmonyprotocol @cz_binance With current management, Harmony is a landmine. Why would anyone buy it or bail it out with @stse still in charge? This project is dead.

@Monkey11_09 @harmonyprotocol Not going to happen while @stse is in charge. He's making it more and more clear with his actions that he doesn't give a shit about anyone.

@harmonyprotocol How about hiring some$ONE that actually listens to the community and has experience in Financial Management!!!!! The community warned you! But you were blinded by your throwing money out with DAOs..!!! you’re dying if you don’t start cooperating with community validators!!

@mixkit_co, @YouTube is misattributing one of your royalty-free background music files (C.B.P.D by Arulo) to a different Copyright holder, who simply uploaded it with a different name: youtube.com/watch?v=zl_cce…. Can you please let them know that you're the real owner?

@harmonyprotocol We don't want more videos that beat around the bush. We want ONE video/post with concrete plan going forward. We want a commitment from you to repeg because this hack is a direct result of your negligence.

2/ Simultaneously, we are preparing to resume our #ONEWeekly video and newsletter series with another Q&A featuring #HarmonyONE founder Stephen Tse. Stay tuned.

1/ Team members are in communication with partners for feedback, and to understand how the bridge incident impacted their customers. Strategies being crafted will be proposed to the community.

@Samichpunch @harmonyprotocol Exactly, Harmony's tweet is basically saying "we're trying to understand what's the very minimum we can do to avoid angry pitchforks without actually restoring the funds".

@AmeerRosic "sleeps with his masks (plural) on", sounds about right.

@binance $COBRA, same team behind it as ViperSwap.

What’s your favourite project on #BinanceSmartChain right now?

@aklamun @IronFinance Exactly, seeing the team blame a "bank run" for the fall while oblivious to the glaring flaw in their design left a bad taste in my mouth.

@IronFinance is *not* like fractional reserve banking. If we're drawing comparisons, it would be like if for every $1 you deposited at your bank, $0.25 was skimmed off and paid out to bank shareholders. Banks just hold some illiquid assets, it's a big difference

@minordissent @CryptofaucetsC @IronFinance Yea, but what you described isn't impermanent loss, it's an exploit taking advantage of IL. TITAN team fucked up, it should have never been possible to mint more coins than their max supply.

@CryptofaucetsC @IronFinance Imagine investing 10K into LP tokens without understanding the concept of impermanent loss 😂 Your money is gone bro, someone exploited TITAN and printed literally trillions of TITAN tokens. Stop gambling with more than you’re willing to lose in 1 month old projects 😂

Dear community, please withdraw liquidity from all pools. We will share a post-mortem as soon as we have a better understanding of this bank run. USDC collateral is available for redemption as normal: polygon.iron.finance/bank?action=re… Iron Finance Team

@AmalnathSathyan @IronFinance Thanks for posting this pic, the dev team still keeps trying to claim the real issue was a "bank run" by the community.

@IronFinance Seems like a glitch in minting contract !!! Supply rose to this much in no time !

@IronFinance This wasn't a bank run, this was a major fuck up on your end. Don't blame your customers when you ended up minting more coins than should have been possible by your algorithm.
