Welcome back to the FAIK Files!

In this episode:

  • Mason fills in for Perry as best he can, with a mix of topics that all fall under the broad umbrella of "functionally useless, but cool". Well... except the last segment; that one is inarguably kind of un-cool.
  • We play a little bit of a 100% AI-generated rendition of Quake 2, and discuss how it works under the hood - as well as the general reaction to it.
  • A software engineer named Alex Chan created a PDF file that is larger than the observable universe, and we break down how that was possible.
  • Bullethead, a member of our discord, sent us a Language Diffusion model to check out: the recently released Dream 7B!
  • Finally, Mason pontificates a bit about the highly aggressive noncompete clauses that Google has been pushing on their AI staff.
