The 3 Body Problem and the case against Determinism

James Gerde – The way the leaves dance in the rain
https://www.instagram.com/gerdegotit/reel/C6s-2r2RgSu/
Since spending a lot of time recently with SDXL I’ve since made my way back to SD 1.5
While the models overall have less fidelity. There is just no comparing to the current motion models we have available for animatediff with 1.5 models.
To date this is one of my favorite pieces. Not because I think it’s even the best it can be. But because the workflow adjustments unlocked some very important ideas I can’t wait to try out.

How the VFX industry is recovering from last year’s strikes
Jonathan Bronfman, CEO at MARZ, tells us: “I don’t think the industry will ever be the same. It will recover slowly in 2024. The streaming wars cost studios too much money and now they are all reevaluating their strategies.”
He notes that AI will play a big role in how things shake out. “Technology is pushing out the traditional approach, something which is long overdue. Studios in Hollywood have been operating the same way for decades, and now AI will move them off their pedestal.
“The entire industry is in for a reckoning. I think studios would have come to this realisation eventually, so it was inevitable, but I think the pressure from the strikes accelerated this.”

Using Meta’s Llama 3 for your business
Meta is the only Big Tech company committed to developing AI, particularly large language models, with an open-source approach.
There are 3 ways you can use Llama 3 for your business:
1- Llama 3 as a Service
Use Llama 3 from any cloud provider as a service. You pay by use, but the price is typically much cheaper than proprietary models like GPT-4 or Claude.
→ Use Llama 3 on Azure AI catalog:

If you have GPU infrastructure (on-premises or cloud), you can run Llama 3 internally at your desired scale.
→ Deploy Llama 3 on Amazon SageMaker:

Tools like Ollama allow you to run the small model offline on consumer hardware like current MacBooks.
