Stephen King on genAI; Meta's Code Llama; NVIDIA GPU supply and demand

• Stephen King: My Books Were Used to Train AI (The Atlantic): “Would I forbid the teaching (if that is the word) of my stories to computers? Not even if I could. I might as well be King Canute, forbidding the tide to come in. Or a Luddite trying to stop industrial progress by hammering a steam loom to pieces.”

• Meta releases Code Llama, a code-generating AI model (TechCrunch)

• Nvidia Chip Shortages Leave AI Startups Scrambling for Computing Power (Wired). Nvidia just made $6 billion in pure profit over the AI boom (The Verge)

• We are developing state-of-the-art AI tools that will make creative expression more accessible, fun, and efficient. (ideogram.ai) A new startup founded by former members of the Imagen team at Google Brain 🧠. (X)

• Bridging High-Quality Audio and Video via Language for Sound Effects Retrieval from Visual Queries (project page)

• Efficient View Synthesis with Neural Radiance Distribution Field (project page)

• Create a working presentation, document or webpage you can refine and customize in under a minute, using our powerful AI generator. (gamma.app)

• Create, Remix and Run Magical AI Generators (glif.app)

• Adam vs K-2SO shot on Simulon (X)

• Midjourney evolution! One year ago vs. today. (X)

• "This art looks cool to me but perhaps it's AI and then it actually sucks" (X)

• However bad your day is going, remember this guy got trained for god knows how many epochs to walk around this bench. (X)
