@AlphaSignalAI Local LLM 100%. If you're not technical use LMstudio. Some have no guardrails and I'm surprised they aren't more popular given how useful they are (and they're free!)

@_tim_brooks Make it draw what's in 99% of Hollywood movies: sex, guns, violence, religion, politics, famous actors. Oh wait - let me guess.

@mosthiphop The public will never know, but this was about to turn into a massive controversy, with talks of MLM 'YZYcoins" and young people building apps for 0$. Their brand dodge a bullet today. Glad to see the team is on top of things, none of the stuff from the last 48h was authorized.

@buitengebieden My mother suffered from PPA/ FTD for 7 years and I can assure you that the work that you see here is PRICELESS. Not only does it provide cognitive stimulation, but the very much needed human contact that is sorely lacking in most care homes, no matter how "fancy" or well intended

@LEAD_Coalition @BelievePHQ The real killer is social isolation. It's one thing to lose one's sense of self worth, another to feel 'others would be better off without me'. We've never been more connected and yet so detached from each other.

@untitled01ipynb Funny, but it's going to get neutered like every. single. one of their release. Just look at what Dall-e became.

@gerosaurus Copyright issues, and guardrails so sweeping it's unusable for anything beyond party tricks. Go local (check out lmstudio and openinterpreter).

@AndrewCurran_ Would be curious to know if this affect apps like LMstudio or oogabooga, kobold, etc. If not I'm quite happy running mistral instruct on my 4090 at a bazillion token per seconds in exl2.

@AlphaSignalAI It doens't 'rival' runway. It obliterates it, and everything else for that matter, FLOSS or commercial. The point being - it likely will end up like DALL·E, very little control between gens, and neutered to the point of being unusable.

@niceaunties Aunties, do you use exclusively cloud services or have you dipped your toes into the FLOSS stuff (comfy, adlcm, etc?).

@aidan_mclau You have a point, but you need to remember why it exists. The standard leaderboard became unusable when measures became targets and developers started overfitting the validation set instead of actually improving the models. Chatbot Arena cannot be trained against so it's our best

@venturetwins @DomoAI_ Begging you to try local alternatives if you can, such as ComfyUI with some vid-2-vid nodes, this way your precious data never leaves your computer. Especially when it comes to images involving children. I would advise caution here. It's early days and you don't know what SaaS

@LEAD_Coalition @euronewsnext There's a very similar program active in the Netherlands. Just to be absolutely clear: they are not rolling this out universally. The standard procedure is still to wait a year plus for an opening in a very expensive public care home, sometimes even longer for home care, which

@dr_shibley Agreed. What strikes me as completely surreal, is that a condition that will affects 1 in 2 person in the UK, and is the number one killer in England and Wales is getting so little visibility in schools, in the media and so on.

@CarrieC1981 @janis_cottee @DiverseAlz Indeed PPA is a sub type of FTD and few people, too few people in fact know about this. Thank you for bringing awareness! #endftd

@alzheimerssoc Thank you for this. We need to end the omerta about the broken healthcare system, the absurd (and shameful) diagnoses time, the underpaid carers, and so much more. 🙏🏻

@wildswim @dr_shibley 100% and I have the receipts to prove this happened to my mum. To often GPs simply considered the person to be some sort of "lost cause" which is dehumanizing and evidently leads to misdiagnosis, and by extension incorrect treatments.

@vega_holdings @amli_art I can't believe thousands of people forgot what happened to dalle and how neutered to death it is. It's unusable, period . There is NOTHING that tells us SORA will be any different. But hey, let them dream ;)

@emmaflaxSLT @ucl @BCAphasia I provided CPT and CST for my mother while she was impacted by FTD/PPA and I can vouch for the incredible power of these approaches. The challenge is that I was - of course - the only person doing this since the care home had no program of that sort. Let's make it universal!

@LEAD_Coalition The "don't talk as if they weren't there" is on point. A lot of doctors could learn from that. I've seen things you couldn't believe. People wheeled in, like some zoo animals, in care homes lobbies to be observed by the family, because 'policy of no entry in habitations'.

@BrianRoemmele @BrianRoemmele did you get a chance to read "amusing ourselves to death" by Neil Postman? It predicted the exact issue back in 1985. There's also "the internet is not the answer" by Andrew Keen which is worth reading for it's table of reference alone, with fantastic references to

@PhoebeFoster_ @FTDtalk @GENFI1 Thank you for this. I have been battling locally in Spain for better access to imaging in FTD/PPA patients. Too often it is deemed to be a "waste of time", when in fact it can be a very valuable source of information on the progression of the disease and treatment adaptation 🙏

@LEAD_Coalition @statnews Let's visit one and see for ourselves! Or will they pull the usual 'for the safety of the patients you cannot see behind the curtain'? Let's give them the benefit of the doubt, of course, but let's investigate.
