This is a much bigger thing than the llama3.1 release. Llama 3.1 doesn't really help Meta's bottom line. But content creation and ads are Meta's killer app. By having a model that doesn't require finetuning, they just changed the whole game.

Where do I sign up for my personalized AI content filter bot which can reliably detect ads and remove them from my browser?

Hmmm, that'd be an interesting startup idea!

How do ad blockers work exactly?

Thanks! We changed to that from https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.2365-6/452604312_... above.

OP here: Thanks for changing the title as well!

I know exactly why Facebook / Meta are researching this. Just imagine the possibilities for advertisers: Instead of telling someone how happy they would be if only they bought your expensive car, let's just spam them with AI pictures of themselves sitting in said expensive car, ideally next to some very attractive other people that match their dating preferences. Facebook has all the data they need to create very ple…

This is quite thought provoking. I can totally see ads for, say Disney World, where they put you in the picture instead of an actor. I mean, the whole goal of these ads is already to have you imagine yourself there. Putting you in the picture makes it that much easier.

We sell text-to-image model finetuning (aka "Dreambooth") as a service and yes, this is one of the use cases.

Recently a travel agency used our platform to generate images of people in the destinations they were advertising.

Up until recently, to insert yourself into an image generation algorithm, you had to use a technique like Dreambooth, which involves finetuning the model itself with a new mapping of the subject to a rare token. Meta just released and productionized a new technique that doesn't require finetuning at all. This enables a whole host of new possibilities... People can now be inserted into scenes or outfits at will withou…

>Up until recently, to insert yourself into an image generation algorithm, you had to use a technique like Dreambooth I mean, not really, you could just train a LoRA for example (it doesn't require training with Dreambooth).

Well the point is, both LoRA and Dreambooth require fine tuning the model (i.e. training)

The future of Netflix isn't going to feature DiCaprio or Zendaya. It will be you, your wife, and your friends on the screen as hobbits adventuring to Mordor.

This is actually the premise of an episode of Black Mirror in Season 6 called “Joan is Awful”. Shows an interesting dark take on the negatives that could potentially arise from this - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Is_Awful

lol, if it is a good enough Ad

Just add it to my Instagram timeline and I can skip the trip and the cost. Everyone else (including me in 30 years) thinks I went.

They're entirely manual. A whole bunch of volunteers write filter rules to block known ads. There's a big github where people can post issues about ads they've found, and volunteers will write filter rules to block them.
