Models such as Stable Diffusion are trained on copyrighted, trademarked, private, and sensitive images.

Yet, our new paper shows that diffusion models memorize images from their training data and emit them at generation time.

When you no longer need to be special, life becomes special.
—Dr. David Burns

This resonates. I work hard to feel special, but it’s a moving goalpost and I under-appreciate the little joys along the way.

A fantastic visualization of extreme weather events and whether they're attributable to climate change. Thanks to @carbonbrief https://t.co/tlymoH3qmo

My newest blog post was just published on Predict! I've been researching climate solutions and was struck by the potential regenerative agriculture has to address climate change. https://t.co/Ulp4caZ3ux

@se_muskett Hi Stephen, I've been reorienting my career towards climate change work and I'd love to contribute to Age of Awareness on Medium on that topic. Here's my profile: https://t.co/bSMdRu5hcE

🤖Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.

This checks out.

I'm late to the GPT-3 game but I'm making up for lost time.

🤖 Why couldn't the bicycle stand up by itself? Because it was...two tired!

I'm honored to have my first blog post on leadership published by @BttrHumans . More to come 🙂 I'd love your feedback! ❤️ https://t.co/NTYgv3yDqM

As a Russian-speaking person of color who was born and raised in Ukraine, I believe that I am in a position to speak on the issue of nationalism and neo-Nazism in Ukraine. A long thread 👇

Our first @Grindr Engineering blog post this year: Confusable Character Detection in Erlang by Richard Kallos https://t.co/YDIIs6L5Xq

Congrats team!

[Tom Quisel @tquisel]

@danvdk Ah gotcha! Yeah, I was just thinking of the declining case fatality rate: https://t.co/ICWz2ZjRsE I don't know exactly why it's been going down. I think more effective care is at least part of the story.

[Tom Quisel @tquisel]

@danvdk This is a cool analysis, although really concerning. Were you able to take into account the changing beta over time (deaths / case decreasing)? I know that's one of the weird properties of correlation, that it ignores the slope of the association.

[Tom Quisel @tquisel]

Warm thanks to @maynard for an inspiring interview with the @Grindr team. Two ideas struck me. 1) In every interaction you're either building or eroding trust 2) self checkin: is what you're doing now making life easier for your future self?

[Tom Quisel @tquisel]

I'm very excited about this. Congrats to the @Grindr team getting the @Hacker0x01 integration live so quickly!

It's time for this industry to mature.
