Midjourney V5 rolls out with new features promising accessibility

“Give it a shot! We think this tool will transform your linguistic-visual process both in terms of creative power and discovery.”

San Francisco-based independent Artificial Intelligence research lab Midjourney unveiled their new “/describe” feature that transforms images into words in a tweet. The company, popular for its AI-fueled ability to create images based on a series of prompts, launched more features including “repeat” and “permutations” for its pro subscribers.

Paul DelSignore, creative technologist and artificial intelligence aficionado, took to Medium to break down how these could benefit users. He envisions a future with better search engine indexing and search functionality as a result of “/describe”.

Geoffrey Hinton is considered a godfather of artificial intelligence, having championed machine learning decades before it became mainstream

As chatbots like ChatGPT bring his work to widespread attention, we spoke to Hinton about the past, present and future of AI.

CBS Saturday Morning’s Brook Silva-Braga interviewed him at the Vector Institute in Toronto on March 1, 2023. #ai #interview #artificialintelligence #GeoffreyHinton #machinelearning #future

How Variable Speed of Light Explains Gravity

A little more technical account how GR tests are describes by VSL and how Newton’s law is recovered.

14:18: c is the lower speed of light IN the gravitational field, not OUTSIDE. Same for frequencies and wavelengths.

16:42: 1,75″ was not yet found by Einstein in 1911, but in 1915.

The holodeck is one of the most recognizable technologies from Star Trek. They use a combination of light projection, force fields, transporter tech, and matter replication. But how are they different from the rec room in TAS or the combat simulator in Discovery?

Samsung cuts memory chip production as it hits worst quarterly profit since 2009

Samsung Electronics plans to cut back memory chip production as its operating profit in the first quarter of 2023 is expected to plummet about 96% from the previous year. This will be the lowest profit posted by the South Korean tech giant since Q1 2009.

The global macroeconomic slowdown, memory chip oversupply and sluggish demand have hurt its profit, the world’s largest memory chip maker said in its preliminary earnings release on Friday.

“Samsung is adjusting to lower its memory production to a meaningful level,” it noted. Samsung claims to optimize line operations to secure enough memory chip volume for future demand. The tech company added that it will continue to invest in infrastructure and research and development to strengthen its tech leadership in the industry.
