Are Hot Dogs Sandwiches or Tacos?
The sandwich was born when John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, got tired of using utensils while gaming and asked for some meats to be sandwiched between bread. And just like that, the "sandwich" was named after the man who single-handedly revolutionized lunchtime.
For years, folks have been trying to figure out if a hot dog is a sandwich or not - some say it's not because it's on a bun, while others say it is because it's got the classic filling between two pieces of bread. Well, AI has finally settled the score: a hot dog is, in fact, a sandwich. So go ahead and add it to your next lunch spread, no questions asked!
wrap it up, folks! I just proved that hot dogs are, unequivocally, sandwiches 🌭
embeddings for different foods from the @OpenAI API, reduced dimensionality with UMAP, plotted here colored by "category". Hot dogs are solidly in the sandwich cluster, along with tacos and burritos

A Walking Robot + Drone? Yikes….
Boston Dynamics robots flipping left and right, but let's not forget they fall down just as much. So some smart engineers strapped on some propellers, turning the robot into a real thrill-seeker. It can now ride a skateboard, walk a tightrope, and who knows what else. Some folks say it's not fair, but hey, what's the fun in playing fair in the robot wars?
Is it a robot with a helicopter mode or a drone with legs? Your guess is as good as mine!
Buildspace Nights & Weekends Season 2 Demo Day
Buildspace is a cool concept: a 6-week sprint to build whatever your heart desires and then show it off at a virtual demo day. Self described as a Hogwarts, but for builders and dream-chasers. Season 2 Demo Day was held on Saturday January 28, 2023 and was a blast with over 250 builders showing off their latest creations in AI/ML, Web3, DTC, Gaming, Art + Music. Want to see what they built? Check out the Season 2 project list.
Cool AI / ML Research Papers
AI/ML world is moving lightning fast, it's hard to keep up with all the cool stuff! But we've stumbled upon two research papers that are like, seriously impressive. They both tackle the age-old question of "what if AI could make music and videos?" - one paper turns text into sweet tunes, the other turns it into 3D masterpieces. 🤯
The folks over at Google Research just shared information about #MusicLM - Generating Music From Text 🤯
Example of prompt "melodic techno" more examples below.....

Are you ready for ChatGPT for 3D videos?
Folks over at @MetaAI shared information about a method they are calling #MAV3D (Make-A-Video3D) that can turn written descriptions into 3D videos and seems to be the first to generate 3D video scenes given a text description.

A Meme of the Day ⚡️
You know that meme going around about how all AI startups are just GPT-3 hiding in disguise? Well, isn't the whole point of these startups to make life easier for folks who don't want to mess around with OpenAI APIs or dive into GPT-3 playground? That's probably why ChatGPT is killing it, by simplifying text AI for everyone. Let us know what you think here.
Peace out,
