I'm trying something new with my lists. This one is entirely about AI and how it is viewed.
First off, Adobe is celebrating their own AI creation.
AI: Adobe Firefly
Firefly turns 1 year old
Firefly 2 I produced to all Adobe products
Have the official announcement. They have a structures system so you can control the image more.
An introduction to Adobe Illustrator AI. You got AI in your AI
This will be a safe AI for marketing
The ability to alter the image to get the look you want is a new type of prompt
It's a nice enough AI, but compared to stuff like MidJourney and Stable Diffusion it's nothing. Heck, I still have a stable diffusion add on to my Photoshop so I can prompt better if I want.
But the company that works on Stable Diffusion is going through a lot of problems.
Stability Inc
MidJourney bans Stability AI workers from its servers because they were stealing stuff to improve their own AI
Stability AI has major people leaving it. The article reads like it was paid for by Open AI.
The CEO of stability is leaving. He wants the company to go into the black and hates centralized AI
More stories on the company not doing well. This is a big AI imaging group, and it looks like others are trying to destroy them.
A long article about Stability falling apart.
A major focus of Stability was to decentralize AI. If you have a powerful enough GPU, you should be able to make videos and images on your own. Even using cloud computing I have several websites that I use to do things since my computer is a potato for AI needs.
There are several pushes for the idea of a centralized AI. One place where we get our AI and it is controlled and monitored by the governments of the world.
AI Propaganda
Students aren't learning and using ChatGPT instead
AI companies would sooner destroy the world! Grr argh Twitter rant
Deep fakes are happening to thwart the election… in one direction only… yeah…
Elon Musk is investing in AI and NVidia. Why is this in Propaganda? Because suddenly Elon is an anti Semite and needs to be punished.
_P: Ethical AI
Ethical AI should be praised
Should we fear woke AI?
We should be afraid of AGI because it means more investment into right thinking companies!!!
At the same time companies like Google and OpenAi are paying for articles about how ethical their AI is. Suddenly AI is to be trusted.
_P: Atlantic Articles sponsored by Google
The Atlantic has a series of articles all about AI and how Google will save the world. If you remember the Donald Trump is Evil article series you get the gist. It's mostly interviews. This one is about creativity and how AI helps with that.
Google will save us by being properly restricted by Google
Capitalism will die and be reborn through AI. Google will lead the way.
At the same time, Google is introducing AI like Gemini and Google Health
_P: Google Health and the FDA
Google Health is an AI connected to Google devices that monitors your health. It's sort of scary because it could predict someone's health issues, and be abused by the company.
Any medical tech that could improve lives has to get FDA approval. So AI is screwed up til it's powerful enough.
_P: Gemini 2 Racist pictures
Google Gemini does not show the native people of a land, but only for Europeans.
The program was taken down to get fixed.
Then it was discovered the AI couldn't tell the difference between Hitler and Elon Musk in who was worse. Nate Silver tried to save his reputation by complaining about it
Meanwhile Open AI is showing off their video maker Sora, which is amazing to see.
Sora AI
The good and bad of Sora
People can't tell the difference between AI and real videos
Best videos so far from Sora
More videos from Sora
The company is showing of their AI to Hollywood.
_S: Hollywood
Sora is being shown off to Hollywood types
OpenAI is trying to convince Hollywood that Sora will help, not destroy. Just let it in, just a little.
Stability Diffusion is one of the first video making processes you could use on your computer. At the same time, Stability is I producing a 3D creation tool as well.
Stability AI has a new image to 3D system that can be run on your computer. Not mine, it's a potato, but yours would be great.
I will post the link list in full with a few posts, but I thought this might open up some conversations as well. It looks like AI is being pressured to become centralized and the big names want to be that centralized power. We haven't mentioned what MidJourney is doing because they don't seem to care as much. I will post something about 3D as well.
Feel free to copy it and put it into other threads for conversation, or even the AI forum I can't seem to access.
Amazing list thanks.
Hopefully we can get our own AIs to fight the centrally controlled AIs.
Did you ever cover any AI apps that create songs and lyrics?
I found this one :
https://app.suno.ai/song/e8c8056f-b8cf-483b-8212-60aedb364898/
I have covered a few, but it's always good to have more.
The smartest investment anybody interested in AI can make right now is a 4090 (or a 3090 if you don't have $2000 laying around). Stable Diffusion 3, if it actually comes out, will be the last base image generation model that's ever released freely by any company, and there's a good chance it will be crippled in some fundamental way for Safety anyway.
Nice list, And interesting what is begin done with the Sora stuff, still the the ones trying to look more closely too reality are the ones that seems a bit off,
I think the bigger problem with getting decentralized AI is the compute power required for training, which will be regulated to the ground, I mean the perfect angle of attack is the energy consumption in their green agenda and the limited amount of hardware manufactures. This is another reason why current AI architecture is not really the right way to go, but not sure what alternative to go for,
The energy problems come from stuff like the A100. A 4080 does take power but is no where near as bad. Also, a regular PC might work slower but can have better specializations.
