What happened this week in AI
This week, our attention is still turned to?Stable Diffusion . We had to cover it once more with even more fantastic news as an important step for the AI community.?Stable diffusion ?is a fantastic initiative brought to us thanks to an amazing human being named Emad (learn more about Emad in?Yannic’s video !) and his company,?Stability.Ai . The idea behind Stability AI is to create and make publicly accessible important AI efforts from the community in direct competition with big companies.
Diffusion models recently achieved state-of-the-art results for most image tasks, including text-to-image with DALLE but many other image generation-related tasks too, like image inpainting, style transfer, or image super-resolution. Stable diffusion is based on the same principle, but within the latent space, which makes all the difference in computing needed for us regular people. If you still do not know what Stable Diffusion is or how latent diffusion, in general works, we recommend?this article ?for a better understanding of the model.

Article of the week
Why Should Adam Optimizer Not Be the Default Learning Algorithm? ?An increasing share of deep learning practitioners are training their models with adaptive gradient methods due to their rapid training time. Adam, in particular, has become the default algorithm used across many deep learning frameworks. These adaptive optimization methods are known to generalize poorly. The author comprehends the findings of empirical studies carried out to mull over the marginal value of adaptive gradient methods.

Lauren’s Ethical Take on Twitter’s Whistleblower
The news that I want to spotlight this week regards Twitter whistleblower Peiter “Mudge” Zeiko’s?recent allegations ?over serious data mismanagement, security weaknesses, poor tracking of bots, vulnerability to foreign intelligence, and possible FTC violations. We’ve seen big tech whistleblowers before, and some people have become desensitized or resigned to the nature of the beast due to the news cycle or a cynical outlook on how tech should operate in society. The news cycle’s initial spike, talk of big things happening and the eventual simmering down of the hype don’t help the feeling of impermanence. Yet something tells me this story will be here to stay.
The fact that all of these allegations are so egregious if true, and the gravity of the situation may prove that resulting penalties can have serious do-or-die consequences beyond mere warnings. Regulation might move slowly with respect to tech, but it can be powerful. The exposure of multiple foundational flaws that are brittle and have grown weaker over time shows the costs of building fast and growing so large that no one knows what’s happening anymore. The fate of Twitter may serve as a very important lesson for the perils of building an online community unsustainably. More than just what allegations prove true or untrue is how they will be dealt with by both regulators and users. This will be an important story to follow in the coming months, and I look forward to the insights we learn from this experience.
