@pegasusdestek Bu tarz hasarlarda sorumluluk kabul etmediğiniz için Stansted Havalimanı’ndaki yetkililer sadece bu kağıdı verdiler, başvuru yapamadım. Ne önerirsiniz?

A few thoughts on the new ChatGPT image release.

(1) This changes filters. Instagram filters required custom code; now all you need are a few keywords like “Studio Ghibli” or Dr. Seuss or South Park.

(2) This changes online ads. Much of the workflow of ad unit generation can now be automated, as per QT below.

(3) This changes memes. The baseline quality of memes should rise, because a critical threshold of reducing prompting effort to get good results has been reached.

(4) This may change books. I’d like to see someone take a public domain book from
Project Gutenberg, feed it page by page into Claude, and have it turn it into comic book panels with the new ChatGPT. Old books may become more accessible this way.

(5) This changes slides. We’re now close to the point where you can generate a few reasonable AI images for any slide deck. With the right integration, there should be less bullet-point only presentations.

(6) This changes websites. You can now generate placeholder images in a site-specific style for any <img> tag, as a kind of visual Loren Ipsum.

(7) This may change movies. We could see shot-for-shot remakes of old movies in new visual styles, with dubbing just for the artistry of it. Though these might be more interesting as clips than as full movies.

(8) This may change social networking. Once this tech is open source and/or cheap enough to widely integrate, every upload image button will have a generate image alongside it.

(9) This should change image search. A generate option will likewise pop up alongside available images.

(10) In general, visual styles have suddenly become extremely easy to copy, even easier than frontend code. Distinction will have to come in other ways.

We object to multiple court orders from the Turkish Information and Communication Technologies Authority to block over 700 accounts of news organizations, journalists, political figures, students, and others within Türkiye. Providing a platform committed to defending everyone’s right to free speech is paramount at X, and we believe this decision from the Turkish government is not only unlawful, it hinders millions of Turkish users from news and political discourse in their country. We look forward to defending these principles through the legal system. X will always defend freedom of speech everywhere we operate.

Herkesin ifade özgürlüğü hakkını savunmaya kararlı bir platform sağlamak X için her şeyden önemlidir ve biz Türk hükümetinin bu kararının yalnızca hukuka aykırı olmakla kalmayıp aynı zamanda milyonlarca Türk kullanıcıyı ülkelerindeki haber ve siyasi söylemlerden alıkoyduğuna inanıyoruz. Bu ilkeleri hukuk sistemi aracılığıyla savunmayı sabırsızlıkla bekliyoruz. X, faaliyet gösterdiğimiz her yerde her zaman ifade özgürlüğünü savunacaktır.

@nationalrailenq Hi, we planned a day trip to Brighton with 10:29 train and going back to London at 19:28. Do you suggest doing this trip still or cancelling is better?

Gemini 1.5 Pro - A highly capable multimodal model with a 10M token context length

Today we are releasing the first demonstrations of the capabilities of the Gemini 1.5 series, with the Gemini 1.5 Pro model. One of the key differentiators of this model is its incredibly long context capabilities, supporting millions of tokens of multimodal input. The multimodal capabilities of the model means you can interact in sophisticated ways with entire books, very long document collections, codebases of hundreds of thousands of lines across hundreds of files, full movies, entire podcast series, and more.

Gemini 1.5 was built by an amazing team of people from @GoogleDeepMind, @GoogleResearch, and elsewhere at @Google. @OriolVinyals (my co-technical lead for the project) and I are incredibly proud of the whole team, and we’re so excited to be sharing this work and what long context and in-context learning can mean for you today!

There’s lots of material about this, some of which are linked to below.

Starting today, we’re offering a limited preview of 1.5 Pro to developers and enterprise customers via AI Studio and Vertex AI. Read more about this on these blogs:
Google for Developers blog:

Google Cloud blog:
https://t.co/OlaTW6PYGn

We’ll also introduce 1.5 Pro with a standard 128,000 token context window when the model is ready for a wider release. Coming soon, we plan to introduce pricing tiers that start at the standard 128,000 context window and scale up to 1 million tokens, as we improve the model.

Early testers can try the 1 million token context window at no cost during the testing period. We’re excited to see what developer’s creativity unlocks with a very long context window.

Let me walk you through the capabilities of the model and what I’m excited about!

Introducing Sora, our text-to-video model.

Sora can create videos of up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes, complex camera motion, and multiple characters with vibrant emotions.

Prompt: “Beautiful, snowy Tokyo city is bustling. The camera moves through the bustling city street, following several people enjoying the beautiful snowy weather and shopping at nearby stalls. Gorgeous sakura petals are flying through the wind along with snowflakes.”

Сделал предложение девушке, с которой ChatGPT общался за меня год. Для этого нейросеть переобщалась с другими 5239 девушками, которых отсеила как ненужных и оставила только одну. Поделюсь, как сделал такую систему, какие были проблемы и что вышло с остальными девушками. Тред

Son yedi filminin tamamıyla Cannes Film Festivali'nde ana yarışmaya girmeyi başardı. Nice usta yönetmenlerde bile bu istikrarı sağlayamayıp yan bölüme düşenler, kabul edilmeyenler, bu yüzden festival değiştirenler olmuştu. O düşmedi de, değiştirmedi de. Cannes'da her zaman ısrarcıydı. Üstelik yedi filmle toplamda 1 Altın Palmiye, 2 Grand Prix, 1 yönetmen, 1 erkek oyuncu, 1 kadın oyuncu, 2 FIPRESCI ödülü kazandı. Türkiye'nin yaşayan en büyük ve en başarılı yönetmeni. Seçim öncesinde yalnız ve güzel ülkemize bir kez daha selam olsun! #Cannes2023 #AboutDryGrasses #KuruOtlarÜstüne #NuriBilgeCeylan #MerveDizdar
