Rome, March 15, 44 BCE: Julius Caesar's colleague Brutus convinces him to install the v8.2-dev-nightly version of the IntelliJ integrated development environment to take advantage of the newly added SQL to SPQR converter. That afternoon, a crash in the middle of his demo to the Senate causes him to groan "8.2, Brute?". This incident gives rise to the aphorism "Beware the IDEs of March".
#AI#GenerativeAI#MidJourney#StabilityAI#GeneratedImages#WebScraping: "On Wednesday, Midjourney banned all employees from image synthesis rival Stability AI from its service indefinitely after it detected "botnet-like" activity suspected to be a Stability employee attempting to scrape prompt and image pairs in bulk. Midjourney advocate Nick St. Pierre tweeted about the announcement, which came via Midjourney's official Discord channel.
Prompts are the written instructions (like "a cat in a car holding a can of a beer") used by generative AI models such as Midjourney and Stability AI's Stable Diffusion 3 (SD3) to synthesize images. Having prompt and image pairs could potentially help the training or fine-tuning of a rival AI image generator model."
