Deepfakes in Politics: A Swift Deception

AI is cranking out masterpieces faster than you can say "neural network," we've decided to dive headfirst into the digital paintbox of 2024. Forget talent, folks—all you need now is a snazzy algorithm and a dream!
This week, we're serving up a smorgasbord of silicon-powered shenanigans. From Trump's misadventures in Swiftie-land to Big Tech's wallet-busting AI shopping spree, we've got it all. So grab your favorite beverage (might we suggest a Neural Network Negroni?) and settle in for a rollercoaster ride through the wonderful, wacky world of AI.
On this week's menu:
🎨 AI art generators: turning your doodles into Dalis

AI Art Generators: From Masterpieces to Memes in 2024
Remember when creating art required talent? Well, welcome to 2024, where AI does the heavy lifting! From DALL-E 3's fantastical scenes to MidJourney's hyper-realistic ad fodder, these 10 AI image generators are turning everyone into a Picasso (or at least a decent meme-maker). Whether you're a professional artist or just want to spice up your cat photos, there's a tool for you. But beware: with Stable Diffusion XL's customization and Artbreeder's community-driven evolution, you might spend more time tweaking algorithms than actually creating. Who needs human creativity when you've got neural networks, right? At least until the AI decides to quit and pursue its own art career.

Trump's AI Shenanigans: When Swifties Meet Deepfakes
Looks like Trump's jumping on the AI bandwagon, but not in the way we'd hoped. The former president's been busy posting AI-generated images suggesting Taylor Swift's endorsement. Swifties, don't fall for it! This digital trickery has raised eyebrows faster than you can say "Shake It Off," sparking concerns about misinformation in political campaigns. It's a stark reminder that deepfakes aren't just for fun face-swaps anymore - they're potentially shaping public opinion. As we navigate this brave new world of AI, one thing's clear: we need to stay sharp and question what we see online. After all, in the words of Taylor herself, "This is why we can't have nice things."

Big Tech's AI Spending Spree: Schmidt Spills the Beans
Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt dropped a bombshell: Big Tech's about to splurge $300 billion on AI infrastructure. That's right, folks - we're talking $20B, $50B, even $100B per company. And who's laughing all the way to the bank? Nvidia, of course. Their chips are the hottest ticket in AI town, leaving competitors eating silicon dust. But wait, there's a plot twist! Google's been quietly working on TPUs, potentially threatening Nvidia's reign. Will TPUs dethrone GPUs? Or will Nvidia keep its AI crown? It's a high-stakes game of tech monopoly, and we're all just watching from the sidelines.
