Each time, the audience had great questions and ideas for extensions and interesting applications. In this article, I want to provide a sort of FAQ for our work. Are code and data available? Yes, code and data are on GitHub. Code includes both Monte Carlo conformal prediction as well as the plausibility regions from v1 of the paper. Can you derive the conformal $p$-values used in the paper? The connection of…

stp2y0 CommentsAI

In this post, we'll do a deep dive into the Chameleon paper, exploring how it pushes the boundaries of multimodal AI in different but equally exciting ways compared to GPT-4o. We’ll also speculate a bit on…

The ‘dead internet theory’ makes eerie claims about an AI-run web. The truth is more sinister

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

If you search “shrimp Jesus” on Facebook, you might encounter dozens of images of artificial intelligence (AI) generated crustaceans meshed in various forms with a stereotypical image of Jesus Christ. Some of these hyper-realistic images have garnered more than 20,000 likes and comments. So what exactly is going on here? The “dead internet theory” has an explanation: AI and bot-generated content has surpassed the human-generated internet. But where did this idea come from, and does it have any basis in reality? An example of a shrimp Jesus image on Facebook with no caption or context information included in the post.…

I Make AI Fashion Models to Sell Real People Clothes

stp2y0 CommentsRAG modelsartificial intelligence, fashion, your next job

Last spring, the clothing brand Levi Strauss & Co. announced plans to introduce “customized AI-generated models” into its online shopping platforms. These “body-inclusive avatars” would come in a range of sizes, ages, and skin tones and would help Levi’s create a more “diverse” lineup in a way the company considered “sustainable.” A lot of (real) people were appalled. Why not give those jobs to actual humans of the sizes, ages, and skin tones Levi’s sought? Was “sustainable” just PR-speak for “cheaper”? Levi’s later affirmed its “commitment to support multicultural creatives behind and in front of the camera.” But it didn’t…
