به یاد آورید کسانی را که می‌گفتند: "نه خب هوش مصنوعی نمی‌تونه احساسات رو تو فیلم ایجاد کنه"! و امروز در کمتر از چندماه پس از تولید ویدئو های نزدیک به ویدئو ها واقعی توسط AI، این هوش مصنوعی است که قادر به شبیه سازی چهره با طیف گسترده‌ای از حالات عاطفی در ویدئو ها است!

📢 We invite you to the ‘New Trajectories in Artistic Production’ Panel, to be held on Saturday, 2 November, at 2:00 pm, at Kült Kavaklıdere (Ankara, Tükiye)! bit.ly/ai-festival-on… #AI @ksteinfe Details 👇

"You can't blame the computer; If there's no soul in the music, it's because nobody put it there". Relevant 27 years ago, and relevant today.

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF... Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨 Immediately, I email the conference host. (FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.) He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue. He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website. She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller. AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯 — FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

For everyone in the Bay Area on October 11th, I will be co-hosting an amazing conference on game studies and game design at UC Berkeley, co-organized with @Statiscape and celebrating the 20th anniversary of @calnewmedia! bcnm.berkeley.edu/events/22/hist…

@AlisonGopnik Thank you for posting this!

My Rumelhart Prize presentation, IMHO I think one of the best talks I've ever given, very much inspired by the audience. "3 ages and 3 intelligences: explore, exploit, empower" AI, life history, the significance of children, elders and caregiving. underline.io/events/465/ses…

🔥Spatial intelligence needs fast, *interactive* 3D world generation 🎮 — introducing WonderWorld: generating 3D scenes interactively following your movement and content requests, and see them in <10 seconds! 🧵1/6 Web: kovenyu.com/WonderWorld/ arXiv: arxiv.org/pdf/2406.09394

My speculative investigations into using server racks to create home furniture are now viewable online, at their own new website. futurerack.info

Do you want to learn how the Physarum algorithm works playfully? It can be very intimidating at first glance, but we can break it down into smaller bits of information: 1/8

We are excited to introduce Stable Fast 3D, Stability AI’s latest breakthrough in 3D asset generation technology. This innovative model transforms a single input image into a detailed 3D asset in just 0.5 seconds, setting a new standard for speed and quality in the field of 3D reconstruction! Alongside this release, we’ve also published a technical report that highlights how we achieve fast inference speeds with reduced baked illumination and material parameters. 👾You can learn more and access the report here: stability.ai/news/introduci…

Without using any text prompting, we can slice images together in a purely visual language:

@AndrewMayne @KaliYuga_ai Thanks, Andrew. Earliest I could find was here: #prompts-as-programming" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gwern.net/gpt-3#prompts-…

@sterlingcrispin @quasimondo For sure! I think it wasn’t language generally, but the written word (the alphabet) in particular that McLuhan saw as breaking us “out of the charmed circle and resonating magic of the tribal world”. designopendata.wordpress.com/wp-content/upl…

@quasimondo Reminds me of Mcluhan saying something like “Language broke the charmed circle of the campfire” I wish there was a way to experience a pre language perception of the world just for a little while

I ended up in a bit of a rabbit hole searching for early criticisms of cultural technologies that were new at their time. Claude gave me this one which technically is probably the first one we know of - a criticism of writing itself:

Compressing the Internet into 1 video 😹

AI can turn images into vectors! Layered Vectorization can turn images into layered vectors that represent the original image from coarse to fine detail levels. Links ⬇️

This is wild. Runway AI just dropped Gen-3 Alpha that generates AI video just from text and images. A step toward building General World Models. 100% AI 🤯 1. Prompt: A middle-aged sad bald man becomes happy as a wig of curly hair and sunglasses fall suddenly on his head.

Got to admire the hubris with which the AI pioneer John McCarthy, speaking in 1973, confesses to have coined the term "artificial intelligence" as a fund-raising gimmick.
