Barely Legal

By guest author: Nielo Wait, VRZ Champions LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nielo/ YouTube: Slopfiction Caveat: These ideas were articulated with the assistance of artificial intelligence — barely legal em dashes and all. Two AIs walk into a bar. Bartender: “Sorry, we don’t serve minors.” As the western AI begins to litigate, the eastern AI forks the bartender, open-sources the quantized version, and shouts, "The next round is on me!" USA, run by lawyers, is trying to legislate its way into AI dominance. China, run by engineers, is shipping fast, hard-coding its own vision of what AI should be. Both are building futures. But the difference in approach is already warping the GenAI landscape — and who gets to shape it. That’s the frame: GenAI isn’t good or bad. It’s just barely legal . Not in the smirking, R-rated LoRa sense. In the sense that the rulebook doesn’t exist yet, the court cases are unresolved, the ethics are wea...

Unlocking the Power of Supervised Learning: A Comprehensive Introduction

Imagine a digital coach guiding a model through data, teaching it tasks like distinguishing between cats and dogs, diagnosing illnesses from medical images, or forecasting stock market trends. This is the essence of supervised learning – a technique with applications ranging from self-driving cars to personalized recommendations. Supervised learning is often considered one of the easiest machine learning techniques to understand, especially for beginners. It is a type of machine learning where a model learns to make predictions or decisions based on labeled training data. In supervised learning, the algorithm learns to map input data to the correct output by observing examples of input-output pairs provided in the training dataset. The goal is for the model to generalize from the training data and be able to make accurate predictions on new, unseen data. Let’s take a step-by-step look at how supervised machine learnin...

Liquid Networks: Unleashing the Potential of Continuous Time AI in Machine Learning

In the ever-expanding realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a surprising source has led to a new solution. MIT researchers, seeking innovation, found inspiration in an unlikely place: the neural network of a simple worm. This led to the creation of so-called "liquid neural networks," an approach now poised to transform the AI landscape. Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds tremendous potential across various fields, including healthcare, finance, and education. However, the technology faces various challenges. Liquid networks provide answers to many of these. These liquid neural networks have the ability to adapt and learn from new data inputs beyond their initial training phase. This has significant potential for various applications, especially in dynamic and real-time environments like medical diagnosis and autonomous driving. The strengths of scaling traditional neural networks While traditional n...

AI-Generated Art: How Basics Became Balenciaga

If you’ve spent any time at all on social media recently, the Pope in a white puffer jacket or “Harry Potter by Balenciaga” (and its several spin-offs) may have caught your eye. Of course, AI-generated art and video are everywhere these days. To those of us who have only recently woken up to the AI revolution, the technology feels very recent. Arguably the most popular AI image generator, Midjourney, is not even a year old. Yet, computer-generated art has been slowly advancing for more than half a century and very quickly for the last decade or so. The evolution of neural networks, a crucial component of modern AI-generated imagery, started even longer ago – all the way back in the 1940s. Algorithm art: The early days In some sense, the birth of AI-generated imaging can be traced back to the 1960s. This is when researchers started exploring the use of computer algorithms to create digital images. One of the earliest examples of this is the work of A. Michael Noll...
