A Guest Post by Joe, The Mailman. The philosophical concepts around accelerationism can seem abstract and detached from the daily realities of most Canadians. As a mailman going about my appointed rounds each day, talks of rapidly advancing technology, "epochal socioeconomic shifts", and upending our institutional frameworks may
All startups begin as a spark, an idea that's usually the brainchild of an inventor, often because of some really annoying problem they require to be solved in this world. I've yet to meet an inventor who wasn't extremely cool and extremely annoying, but
"Hey John, do you read? What do you read?" Printed books are not for me, but audio books I love. Here is a dump of my audible library, I'm guessing I've listened to most of them twice: https://h4x.zip/books Enjoy! <3
I was recently sitting by a hotel bar in Atlanta for work when a young man in his early 20s asked me what it was that I thought he should consider as he grew into an adult. Outside of the astute nature of this question, I was myself drawn to
The technology of a "GPT" (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is really just a storyteller with an infinite imagination. Just as a human writer crafts stories, Any GPT (a GPT is a technology, not a product by OpenAI "ChatGPT" is their product) can generate coherent and engaging
Latent Diffusion is an advanced technique in the field of AI and machine learning, particularly in the realm of generative models. It combines the principles of latent space representation with the iterative process of diffusion to generate high-quality data, such as images or videos. To better understand Latent Diffusion,
When we talk about "models" in the context of AI, we're referring to the core component that powers all the amazing things AI can do, from generating text to creating images and videos. This shit is a little complex, but we'll get there! :P
How Does Stable Diffusion Work for Video Outputs? I talked about the image thing before, but did you know the image thing is also a video thing? lol yuuuupp....! it can also generate very very very good video content. Think of it as an artist who not only paints static
The Technology of Stable Diffusion Stable Diffusion is a new type of AI model that generates high-quality images from text prompts. It can do video too as I've written about here. Just as a human artist creates visuals based on descriptions, Stable Diffusion can produce coherent and
Since I was a teenager, I've always thought ultrasound was very cool, and although I studied it in school, I never found anything I could use it for in the tech I've built. Recenly I decided to revist that idea. Imagine a world where all the
It might seem like a paradox to say that at the core of every brilliant capitalist beats the heart of a communist. After all, capitalism and communism diametrically opposed ideologies? One champions individual enterprise and the accumulation of personal wealth, while the other advocates for the elimination of class distinctions
GPT-4o, OpenAI's latest generative model, as a foundation for developing an advanced AI system: This system aims to seamlessly integrate multimodal sensing, real-time interaction, and sophisticated automation capabilities, this starts to eek us into the realm of AGI. To me, AGI is an and artificially created,
