Yep. - Perfect.[00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.680]   Thank you for doing this.[00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.560]   Founder of Stability AI,[00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.480]   one of the main contributors to stable diffusion.[00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:23.480]   Thank you for coming on here today.[00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:24.440]   - So pleasure, Logan.[00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:25.960]   Most I have be here.[00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:26.800]   - Yeah, totally.[00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.120]   So maybe at a highest level, we can start off with[00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.560]   what is generative AI?[00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:34.760]   How would you define that for the average person?[00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:37.880]   - So I think everyone said of kind of the concepts[00:02:37.880 --> 00:02:40.560]   of big data 'cause the whole of the internet previously[00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:41.680]   was on big data.[00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.640]   Large, large models built by Google and Facebook[00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:47.000]   and others to basically target you ads[00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.200]   ads were the main part of that.[00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:51.640]   And these models extended.[00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:54.480]   So how to generalize model of what a person was like[00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:56.600]   and then your specific interests,[00:02:56.600 --> 00:03:00.480]   like EMAD likes green hoodies or Logan lights black jumpers.[00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:05.520]   That then extended the previous to what the next thing was.[00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.080]   They're like extension models inferring what was there.[00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.560]   Gerative models are a bit different[00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.160]   in that they learn principles from structured[00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:16.080]   and unstructured data and then they can generate new things[00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:17.400]   based on those principles.[00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:21.680]   So you could ask it to write an essay about bubble sort[00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.840]   or a solid about Shakespeare or the TTH[00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:26.840]   which is digital so you can do that.[00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.960]   Or in the case of some of the work that we're most famous for[00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.800]   you enter in a labradoodle with a hat[00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:34.960]   and a stained glass window and it understands that[00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.200]   and then creates that in a few seconds.[00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:39.360]   So I'd say that's probably the biggest difference[00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:40.880]   between this new type of generative AI[00:03:40.880 --> 00:03:43.040]   and then that old type of AI.[00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:44.880]   So the way that I also say that we've moved[00:03:44.880 --> 00:03:47.720]   from a big data area to more a big model era[00:03:47.720 --> 00:03:50.600]   'cause these models are very difficult to create, train[00:03:50.600 --> 00:03:53.480]   which is why only a few companies such as ours do it.[00:03:53.480 --> 00:...
