Can Stable Diffusion 2.0 generate visual accompaniments to a novel? I give it a go with Virginia Woolf's "The Waves". thecombedthunderclap.blogspo… #StableDiffusion2 #GenerativeAI
Finally put down some of my thoughts on the poetry of the Romantics, creative practice, and being in the outdoors. thecombedthunderclap.blogspo…

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.
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
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"

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. bechdeltest.com/ #feminism

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)
🔥 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): github.com/NielsRogge/Transf…

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! github.com/minimaxir/icon-im…
Here's some examples using a beautiful Pikachu sketch by yours truly.

Sun shower: when it's raining but the cold is cancelled out by daylight ☀️ (totally looks rendered in a game engine but 100% natural)
ALT A view of Mt Goode faded because it's getting rained on, and an alpine lake, trees, and small person in the foreground

I've seen this grim habit spread from town to town: local authorities spraying glyphosate* along every edge and around every obstacle. The more we learn about glyphosate, the wider its ecological impacts turn out to be. Please stop.
*usually in the form of Roundup

Billionaires, listen up! We don't need you to mass buy farmland or shoot your wad on the edge of space. We need you to invest in communities by listening to them and what they need rather than colonising them #Sustainability #JeffBezos #billgates #RichardBranson
