Lin Yu-Ting has won the Olympic gold medal against all odds! Her triumph in the ring is not just a testament to her unparalleled skill and dedication as a boxer, but also a powerful vindication of her character. Despite the unjust and baseless accusations questioning her gender eligibility, she has risen above the slander with grace and strength. We celebrate not just her win, but the unwavering spirit she embodies. #BoxingQueenLinYuTing

I think AI agentic machine translation has huge potential for improving over traditional neural machine translation, and am releasing as open-source a demonstration I'd been playing with as a fun weekend project. Using an agentic workflow, this demonstration (i) Prompts an LLM to translate from one language to another, (ii) Reflects on the translation to come up with constructive suggestions, (iii) Uses the suggestions to refine the translation. In our limited testing, this is sometimes competitive with, and sometimes worse than, leading commercial providers. But it gives a highly steerable translation system where by simply changing the prompt, you can specify the tone (formal/informal), regional variation (do you want Spanish as spoken in Spain or as spoken in Latin America?), and ensure consistent translation of terms (by providing a glossary). This is not mature software. But I hope the open-source community can make agentic translation work much better. Given how a simple reflection workflow already gives decent results, I think there's significant headroom to make agentic translation much better. Releasing an early software prototype like this is something new I decided to try to see if it is helpful to the developer community. I'd love any feedback on this. Thanks to Joaquin Dominguez, @nedteneva, @JohnSanterre for help with this. github.com/andrewyng/transla…

Here's the first release of my consistent-character model on Replicate. It uses InstantID, IPAdapter, Controlnet and FaceDetailer, with SDXL Lightning. Prompt clothes and hairstyle for best consistency It's open source but non-commercial, all links below 👇

After 10 years, we’re facing another democracy threats again by the KMT. That is indeed sad, but we’re not losing our hope yet. People are rising and protesting to show what the real voice of people is to the legislator. Check what’s happening here. democracy.tw/en

很令人震撼的一篇關於中國女性靠假結婚去台灣從事色情業的故事。 我記得前些年看過東北下崗潮之後，為了養家，中國女性去法國，美國從事色情業的報導。 沒想到也有如此大規模的福建女性去台灣，甚至現在，去台灣從事色情業，對她們仍然如此有吸引力。 這篇文章中也能看到馬英九政府大規模放縱假結婚的情形，觸目驚心。 是在蔡英文政府時代，司法似乎才開始發揮作用。 chinadigitaltimes.net/chines…

今年のDrupal Advent Calendar! @snize さん作成ありがとうございます Drupal Advent Calendar 2023 qiita.com/advent-calendar/20…

I’ve resigned from my role leading the Audio team at Stability AI, because I don’t agree with the company’s opinion that training generative AI models on copyrighted works is ‘fair use’. First off, I want to say that there are lots of people at Stability who are deeply thoughtful about these issues. I’m proud that we were able to launch a state-of-the-art AI music generation product trained on licensed training data, sharing the revenue from the model with rights-holders. I’m grateful to my many colleagues who worked on this with me and who supported our team, and particularly to Emad for giving us the opportunity to build and ship it. I’m thankful for my time at Stability, and in many ways I think they take a more nuanced view on this topic than some of their competitors. But, despite this, I wasn’t able to change the prevailing opinion on fair use at the company. This was made clear when the US Copyright Office recently invited public comments on generative AI and copyright, and Stability was one of many AI companies to respond. Stability’s 23-page submission included this on its opening page: “We believe that Al development is an acceptable, transformative, and socially-beneficial use of existing content that is protected by fair use”. For those unfamiliar with ‘fair use’, this claims that training an AI model on copyrighted works doesn’t infringe the copyright in those works, so it can be done without permission, and without payment. This is a position that is fairly standard across many of the large generative AI companies, and other big tech companies building these models — it’s far from a view that is unique to Stability. But it’s a position I disagree with. I disagree because one of the factors affecting whether the act of copying is fair use, according to Congress, is “the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work”. Today’s generative AI models can clearly be used to create works that compete with the copyrighted works they are trained on. So I don’t see how using copyrighted works to train generative AI models of this nature can be considered fair use. But setting aside the fair use argument for a moment — since ‘fair use’ wasn’t designed with generative AI in mind — training generative AI models in this way is, to me, wrong. Companies worth billions of dollars are, without permission, training generative AI models on creators’ works, which are then being used to create new content that in many cases can compete with the original works. I don’t see how this can be acceptable in a society that has set up the economics of the creative arts such that creators rely on copyright. To be clear, I’m a supporter of generative AI. It will have many benefits — that’s why I’ve worked on it for 13 years. But I can only support generative AI that doesn’t exploit creators by training models — which may replace them — on their work without permission. I’m sure I’m not the only person inside these generative AI companies who doesn’t think the claim of ‘fair use’ is fair to creators. I hope others will speak up, either internally or in public, so that companies realise that exploiting creators can’t be the long-term solution in generative AI.

🦜🤖OpenGPTs OpenAI just announced "GPTs" - chatbots augmented with custom tools and custom instructions that anyone can create We're excited to announce OpenGPTs - a open source GitHub repo enabling similar functionality. This will allow: 🛠️Easier tool definition 🧠Usage of other LLMs like Anthropic, Azure, and OSS models (of course, compatibility with OpenAI models as well) 💻Full control of the platform (deploy wherever, use APIs however) GitHub repo: github.com/langchain-ai/open… Check out an example of a hosted version here: opengpts-example-vz4y4ooboq-… Fork it, clone it, add your custom tools! We're working on a hosted version

白話文來說，就是目前的 AI 仍然只會內插法，不會外插法。

Announcing Grok! Grok is an AI modeled after the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask! Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don’t use it if you hate humor! A unique and fundamental advantage of Grok is that it has real-time knowledge of the world via the 𝕏 platform. It will also answer spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems. Grok is still a very early beta product – the best we could do with 2 months of training – so expect it to improve rapidly with each passing week with your help. Thank you, the xAI Team x.ai
