Diffusion Models
I spent 2022 learning to draw and was blindsided by the rise of AI art There is lots to say about this, whether it has been or will be a good thing for artists and society in the long run. I hope to write about it in another post. models like Stable Diffusion. Suddenly, the computer was a better artist than I could…

Deep Learning for Guitar Effect Emulation
Since the 1940s, electric guitarists, keyboardists, and other instrumentalists have been using effects pedals, devices that modify the sound of the original audio source. Typical effects include distortion, compression, chorus, reverb, and delay. Early effects pedals consisted of basic analog circuits, often along…

Waymo outperforms comparable human benchmarks over 7M+ miles
Safety leads everything we do at Waymo. This year alone, Waymo has served over 700,000 ride-hailing trips with public riders and no human driver. We couldn’t have hit that milestone without putting safety front and center, and we are working hard to improve the measurement, transparency, and performance of our fleet.

OpenAI's plans according to sama
Last week I had the privilege to sit down with Sam Altman and 20 other developers to discuss OpenAI’s product plans. Sam was remarkably open. The discussion touched on practical developer issues as well as bigger-picture questions related to OpenAI’s mission and the societal impact of AI. Here are the key takeaways.

This AI is bad at drawing but will try anyways
There was a paper recently where a research team trained a machine learning algorithm (a GAN they called AttnGAN) to generate pictures based on written descriptions. It’s like Visual Chatbot in reverse. When it was just trained to generate pictures of birds, it did pretty well, actually.
