This week is starting off with a bang when it comes to AI regulation...
Biden’s laid out a grand plan on AI, packing safety, privacy, and innovation in one Executive Order. It’s quite proactive, especially when considering what we've seen from the White House so far.
One key point is demanding companies flag high-risk AI and share safety results. The order also includes privacy angle, urging agencies to protect data during AI training.
For workers, it’s about cushioning the AI blow, tackling job displacement and setting labor standards.
The cherry on top? The order innovation, with a push for AI research and making the U.S. a haven for AI talent.

Meta's AI research head, Joelle Pineau, is challenging the status quo of open source licensing in AI. She's advocating for a new approach that balances openness with business sensibilities.
Although Meta's Llama 2 is more accessible than competitor models, its limited license raises questions about what truly constitutes open source in the realm of AI.
Within that context, Pineau emphasizes the need for cautious sharing. The bottom line? Ensuring safety while promoting innovation.
The mixed landscape of AI openness, from Google's secrecy to Hugging Face's full embrace of open source, highlights the industry's varying attitudes.
This all adds up to the urgency for evolved licensing to adequately address AI's unique challenges and risks.

Sizing Your Midjourney Creations
Finding your perfect Midjourney prompt can be an exciting…journey (sorry, we had to). But don’t forget: formatting it is a huge part of making it picture-perfect!
Luckily, the folks at Midjourney have your back. They made it easy to adjust your aspect ratio without issue.
So how do you make this happen? It’s super simple! But first, let’s define “aspect ratio” that for those of us who aren’t familiar:
An aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of an image. It is typically expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, such as 7:4 or 4:3.
Here’s how customize aspect ratio via Midjourney:
Specify the content part of your prompt to your heart’s content.
Once you know which aspect ratio you need, add --ar <value>:<value> to the end of your prompt.
Press enter and watch the magic happen!
Need some help deciding which aspect ratio you’re looking for? Take a look at these suggestions here:
Common Midjourney Aspect Ratios
--aspect 1:1 Default aspect ratio.--aspect 5:4 Common frame and print ratio.--aspect 3:2 Common in print photography.--aspect 7:4 Close to HD TV screens and smartphone screens.
