The FAIK Files
Intro
This chapter examines the advancements in technology, particularly NVIDIA's Diffusion Renderer and its impact on robotics. It also discusses the rise of AI-generated fashion models in major publications like Vogue and reflects on the dual nature of large language models, exploring their potential benefits and drawbacks.
Welcome back to The FAIK Files!
In this week's episode:
- NVIDIA’s Diffusion Renderer: We explore NVIDIA's new research into real-time diffusion rendering, a potential game-changer in photorealistic generation
- Robotics Powered by Video AI: Luma and Runway are targeting robotics companies with video synthesis tools—because training a robot brain takes a lot of fake video
- AI-Generated Fashion Models: Listener “Ty” (of Side Character Quest) sends us a wild one: fashion campaigns using entirely synthetic models so convincing you can’t tell they’re fake
- LLMs and the Dark Arts: We cover ChatGPT’s shocking responses involving murder, mutilation, and Satanism—plus how bigotry and bias are inextricably embedded in these systems.
