Llama 2 — The next generation of our open source large language model, available for free for research and commercial use.

Introduction In computer science, extract, transform, load (ETL) is a three-phase process where data is extracted, transformed, and loaded into an output data container. Nowadays, data is growing exponentially and taking up a lot of space on our data storage devices, such as hard disk drives (HDD) a

The global labor force of outsourced and contract workers are early adopters of generative AI — and the most at risk.

We need scientific and technical breakthroughs to steer and control AI systems much smarter than us. To solve this problem within four years, we’re starting a new team, co-led by Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, and dedicating 20% of the compute we’ve secured to date to this effort. We’re looking for excellent ML researchers and engineers to join us.

For the last wee while, I'd been wanting to explore the fascinating field of Generative Art and add a continuous deployment project to my portfolio. Enter the @aRtfulBot, a Twitter bot I created to explore both of these at once!

Harry: You can't DO that! Minerva McGonagall: It's only a transfiguration; an animagus transformation, to be exact— Harry: You turned into a cat! A SMALL cat! You violated Conservation of Energy! That's not just an arbitrary rule – rejecting it destroys unitarity and then you get FTL signaling! And cats are COMPLICATED! How can you go on thinking using a cat-sized brain? Minerva: Magic. Harry: Magic isn't enough to do that! You'd have to be a god! —Harry's first encounter with magic
