AI Content Generation, Part 1: Machine Learning Basics
Great point that inputs and prompts are actually more like search queries, and great explainer of mapping tagged images to dimensions.
Is searching a boundless space creativity? If all images are represented as numbers, and you are basically picking a number, are you creating or finding? Common twitter sentiment I have seen recently is that it isn't creative work, that feeding/refining prompts is really just more like search. Or that it's like gambling.
How DALL-E 2 Actually Works
At the highest level, DALL-E 2's works very simply:
This was followed by three statements that made no sense and didn't sound simple at all.
The approach of "explain everything with different shaped boxes" is sometimes helpful, sometimes not.
Overall it did help me understand some though. The wow one for me was the GLIDE model - generate a new image that keeps salient features from the original image.
My sense is a whole chunk of the internet is going to just get washed out
Content and search result predictions with a rise of machine-generated content combined with autmatic filters to parse/display that content.
When your bot is better than you
Interesting prediction, on possibly impacts of bot-bot communication.
In this new world, skill at writing will count for much less, and personal charisma for much more. This is not necessarily a positive development. It will be harder to use writing as a measure of broader skill or intelligence.

The Pastry A.I. That Learned to Fight Cancer
I love this for many reasons. Mostly for some people continuing with approaches that aren't just brute force deep neural nets. Goes into better detail than the original headline, which implied it could just automatically detect cancer cells (it was years of work going from pastry detector to other uses). Hard things are hard.

Ask HN: Full-on machine learning for 2020, what are the best resources?
Honestly, skip all of the courses. Pick a problem to solve, start googling for common models that are used to solve the problem, then go on github, find code that solves that problem or a similar one
There is mixed consensus on this. But copy-pasting snippets to solve my problems is how I've learned to program so far; why should ML be any different.
