Interesting enough, that's not unaffordable for a great many businesses.

Reply to Riffusion: Stable diffusion fine tuned on spectrograms (image representations of music) creates prompt based music, in real time by TFenrir
I can't believe that that running the Fourier sound transformations through Stable Diffusion and transforming them back into sound actually works. At this point, I really am calling into question what the SD model is actually capturing. Creativity? Pattern Consistency? This technology may have legs far beyond what I initially assumed.

Reply to comment by wealT_sla in Don't think you will make it to Longevity Escape Velocity? No worries: meet Nectome, the company promising to preserve your brain and memories. by Redvolition
People have strong emotions on this issue, and react vigorously regarding it. In my thoughts, the questions can be summed up like this:
- Are neurons the basis of how our brains and minds work?
- Is the process that neurons operate off of physical, hence mathematical?
- Is the process that neurons operate off of mathematically replicable?
- Is it possible for that process to be extracted from neurons?
If so, brain preservation just seems to be a matter of detail and scale.

The paper is for the specialists but the articles are easier for laypersons to understand.

You could download any of the larger GPT-J models. Or even GPT-NEO. Part of the point of Huggingface is to give their models away freely. There are other entities out there that do so too. Kind of like the old Stone Soup concept.
