Can Stable Diffusion 2.0 generate visual accompaniments to a novel? I give it a go with Virginia Woolf's "The Waves". https://t.co/GFoFn7gCGQ #StableDiffusion2 #GenerativeAI

Finally put down some of my thoughts on the poetry of the Romantics, creative practice, and being in the outdoors. https://t.co/q4Y1vRwV39

Imagine South Africa did *not* share their findings, how many *more* people across the world would be hospitalised and worse? Would the international community rather countries shared their findings, or remain quiet out of fear? Working together is the best way to solutions.

[Ingrid T. Katz @IngridKatzMD]

I want to be clear about the nu variant.

We know what we know BECAUSE South Africa has invested in advanced genomic sequencing.

We owe them a debt of gratitude - not punishment.

Transparency is critical in a global pandemic. We need to support these efforts collaboratively.

[Combed Thunderclap @thundercomb]

By analogy, this is like companies moving numbers around for tax purposes, due to convenient technicalities and legal loopholes. As soon as there is an incentive for governments to be transparent, this reporting will change as well. #COP26

[BBC News (UK) @BBCNews]

Greta Thunberg says the UK overstates how much it has reduced greenhouse gas emissions

The UK government says annual emissions have fallen by 44% since 1990 - but Greta Thunberg says "that's not the case"

#BBCRealityCheck asks who's right?

Darkness, witches and the Lord of the Forest. The coming of November to Hookland by #CLNolan, believed to be among the last few thousand words of his life. With amazing art from @MariaStrutz.

I'm surprised people don't mention the Bechdel Test more often, not only in relation to film but also fiction, plays etc. A simple test that is so revealing of a work's attention to plausible female characterisation. https://t.co/5jK0WdcVPt #feminism

“The Summer Man”

@dynamic_proxy Instead commercial incentives prevail, as does commercial decision-making. Agree that it necessarily ends up an automated black box.

[Combed Thunderclap @thundercomb]

@dynamic_proxy "It's more useful to think of them as functioning like states/global infrastructure." - been entertaining this very thought. A digital Hyde Park Corner owned by a corporation? Inadequate analogy perhaps, but either way there is no "global government" to oversee a global platform.

StyleGAN3: Alias-Free Generative Adversarial Networks

The latest work on GANs from @NVIDIAAI. These models are getting so good…

The AMAZING device that will help you beat the fuel queues.

[Combed Thunderclap @thundercomb]

@NielsRogge Thanks! Are there any examples you know about?

[Combed Thunderclap @thundercomb]

GPT-J comes up with a creative workaround to my absurd code instruction

[Combed Thunderclap @thundercomb]

Excellent notebook demoing use of the new HF GPT-J with low CPU loading: even suitable for Colab Pro! (but sadly not standard Colab due to lower GPU RAM)

[Niels Rogge @NielsRogge]

🔥 GPT-J is the biggest model to date that is available in Transformers! 6 billion parameters! Here's a notebook that shows how you can do inference with it (both single + batched): https://t.co/4vL35Ar9Gf

[Hugging Face @huggingface]

EleutherAI's GPT-J is now in 🤗 Transformers: a 6 billion, autoregressive model with crazy generative capabilities!

It shows impressive results in:
- 🧮Arithmetics
- ⌨️Code writing
- 👀NLU
- 📜Paper writing
- ...

Play with it to see how powerful it is:

I added the ability to icon-image to add sketches to a noisy background plus use a rainbow background, which allows VQGAN+CLIP to improve simple sketches with AI magic! https://t.co/vE3dpw379v

Here's some examples using a beautiful Pikachu sketch by yours truly.
