Create your own generative model in a matter of minutes thanks to this Twitter user.
In an increasingly digitized world, social networks have managed to become a cornerstone of our daily routine. Instagram is one of the most used and influential in terms of the dissemination of images and visual content.
However, technology is advancing by leaps and bounds and it is estimated that in a few years artificial intelligence will be behind most of the images we upload to social networks. The most surprising (or disturbing) thing is that we will find it increasingly difficult to distinguish reality from what has been invented.
At least this is what Santiago (@svpino), an engineer specialized in machine learning, tells us. Through his Twitter, he has provided some Python lines that show how vulnerable we are in this situation. And he claims that the death of Instagram is imminent. Are we facing the beginning of a technological revolution that will change our perception of reality?
To start with, Santiago tells us that we only need two things to create our own model: Google Colab and the Leap API to make use of Stable Diffusion. He himself has shared the code he wrote, so that we waste as little time as possible.
Thanks to that, this user managed to create an “Obama generator”. Behind this bombastic name there is a code that took him just 30 minutes to create. It is just over 100 lines that will help you to generate hyper-realistic photos.
To create this model, he uploaded two images of the former president of the United States. From there, the program did the rest. For example, he asked for an Obama wearing a hat and sunglasses. The result was curious to say the least.
My prompt: "A photo wearing a tall black hat and sunglasses."
ChatGPT itself does not have the ability to generate money, but if you wanted to, you could use the power of this artificial intelligence to increase your income considerably.
As they say, there is no such thing as easy money. However, tools such as ChatGPT can help us so that it is not so hard to earn it. ChatGPT by itself does not have the capacity to generate money, but if you wanted to, you could use the power of this artificial intelligence to increase your income considerably.
But don’t be fooled: believing that ChatGPT will make you easy money can lead you to have unrealistic expectations. Although it is a very useful tool for generating content, it does not guarantee that you will be successful in any case. Many people forget that the key for a business to prosper depends on many factors: quality of the product or service, marketing strategy, good financial management, adaptability, etc.
So yes: ChatGPT won’t help you generate millions effortlessly. However, here are some jobs where chatbot can help you be more productive (and therefore make more money).
Development of chatbots for customer service
Currently there is a great demand for customer service and support related applications that are effective in helping users. A good way to use ChatGPT is for the creation of chatbots. Chatbots are programs that use artificial intelligence to interact with any user and you will see them swarming many websites.
ChatGPT can be used as a basis for the chatbot, as it will serve to generate personalized answers to each user’s problems. A chatbot that does not work properly can leave a bad impression on customers.
If you want to dive into the world of content creation, ChatGPT can be a great support for this. Don’t know what to publish on your social networks? Have you run out of inspiration? In these cases, ChatGPT will help you brainstorm ideas quickly and easily. You just ask it to suggest topics and delve into the most interesting ones: ChatGPT can even write entire posts if necessary.

Become an “ethical hacker”.
Many large companies such as Facebook or Google have an internal program that rewards those who are able to find security holes in their systems. They are known as Bug Bounty and can range from software to hardware. In most cases, companies offer large sums of money that can reach thousands of euros. And this is where ChatGPT comes in.

ChatGPT can help you by analyzing code to find bugs and exploits in it. You can also ask how you can fix such bugs so that they can be fixed in the future. However, keep in mind that these programs are regulated by rules that you should consider. If you want to know more about it, here are BugCrowd and HackerOne, two of the most popular Bug Bounty platforms.
GPT-4, OpenAI’s most advanced language model
Less than four months have passed since OpenAI showed the world ChatGPT, the conversational bot that has managed to transport us to a movie future. Now, the company has released GPT-4, a new version more powerful than GPT-3.5, the heart of ChatGPT.
If you want to take advantage of GPT-4’s advanced capabilities, you will need to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, the premium service offered by OpenAI. If you don’t want to pay for it, you can also use the new Bing and its chat mode.
On Women's Day, we bring you the perfect apps to make your routine a lot easier
The day has arrived! And it is not just any date: during this March 8, thousands of women will take to the streets of half the world to demand equality. This very important celebration also affects the world of technology and you may see more than one app proudly wearing the color purple (but only for 24 hours).
On the occasion of Women’s Day, we bring you a series of applications that will be of great help in your day to day and that we hope you will find useful.
Clue is the perfect application for those on their period and is available on both Android and iOS. It is essential to guarantee our health, control your period, ovulation and premenstrual syndrome. Talking about the period is something very important, as it helps us leave shame and misinformation behind.
The truth is that, to a greater or lesser extent, the majority of the population needs urgent psychological assistance. Today, it is difficult to ask for help due to the lack of resources and the high cost involved on many occasions.
Anxiety is a bad companion and Calm to help us (sort of). Calm is an application that will help you meditate and relax on all those occasions when you feel like everything is getting out of your control. Whether you have experience with these types of apps or not, calm can be a good resource for anyone who needs a bit of peace of mind. Relaxing sounds, guided meditations, stories… you will find everything within the application.
And if calm does not manage to relax you, it is best that you focus your energy on hitting shots left and right. Designed for mobile phones, it provides a gaming experience that has little to envy its older console brother. Call of Duty: Mobile is optimized with high-quality graphics and intuitive controls, even for those who haven’t touched a shooter in their lives.
Call of Duty: Mobile offers a wide variety of game modes, although the most prominent is its Battle Royale. Up to 120 soldiers enter a battlefield where only the last one standing will win. Also, you can play it completely free of charge.
If you are a book lover, Kindle is the ideal option for you. Although first of all, you have to separate two things: the Amazon kindle and kindle. The first is an e-reader made by Amazon (as you may have guessed from the name) and the second is a service where you will have thousands of books at your fingertips.
In addition, kindle also offers kindle Unlimited, an Amazon service with which you can consume books as if it were a streaming platform. In the purest HBO or Netflix style, you can subscribe for a small price and access thousands of books from the comfort of your smartphone.
Sexual empowerment has always been considered as a weapon used by women and exerting power over men. However, female sexual desire has always been judged and even ridiculed within society. The truth is that we all have the right to enjoy our sexuality. To do this, we can make use of applications such as Tinder.
Tinder is basically a dating app to chat and meet people of all kinds. Whether you want to meet people or do anything, Tinder can help you with it.
Transportation apps are also gendered (unfortunately). Women have found in services such as Cabify a very interesting alternative to move. Insecurity in public spaces added to street harassment make Cabify a very interesting application to have on our phone.
Cabify is a platform that allows us to arrange safe trips at the moment through its application. If you need an immediate means of transportation, Cabify may be the solution. Of course, keep in mind that prices vary according to the time slots and the demand for the service at that time.
If you want to improve your physique and you don’t know very well how to do it, the MyFitnessPal application can help you with it. Exercise and diet are two key aspects when it comes to losing those extra kilos, so there is nothing better than keeping track of the food we eat. Within MyFitnessPal you can write down the meals you eat throughout the day and you can also see their nutritional information.
This app also has a barcode reader to locate any type of product in a second. Of course, you can also register your own recipes and calculate their nutritional content.
Mint is a free application that will help you manage your money and keep track of your finances. You can record your expenses, payroll, budgets and much more: Mint will help you keep all your money management in one place. Also, the app is completely free for both iOS and Android.
Todoist is one of the productivity applications that have gained the most popularity in recent years. And there are reasons for it: its ease of use means that anyone can manage their tasks in a short time and effectively. The main function of Todoist is to manage tasks accompanying them with deadlines and it also serves to schedule reminders and make you comply with your habits.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus debut a new color this spring: Yellow.
After Apple unveiled a new iPhone 13 in green at this time last year and the previous year unveiled the iPhone 12 in purple, Apple has just announced the arrival of yellow for the iPhone 14. It repeats a move that launches the new color for this spring, accompanied by accessories in various colors and new designs.
An iPhone that is… A sunshine!
Apple has officially announced that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will be available in a new color: yellow. This option joins the existing Midnight, Starlight, (PRODUCT)RED, Blue and Purple. This gives us more to choose from when it comes to buying one of the longest battery life iPhones in its history. Bob Borchers, Apple’s Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing said:
“iPhone already accompanies users in everything they do on a daily basis, and now we have a sensational addition to the lineup with a new yellow color for iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. With its excellent battery life, lightweight design, professional camera and video advancements, groundbreaking security features such as SOS Satellite Emergency and the full capabilities of iOS 16, iPhone 14 is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a new iPhone.”
If we are interested in buying the new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Plus in yellow color, we can make the reservation from next Friday, March 10 at 14:00 (time of peninsular Spain). The first units will start arriving to those who have reserved it on Tuesday, March 14. Meanwhile, if we want to wait to see it in person, it will also be from March 14 that we can find it in Apple Stores and authorized resellers. A good time to decide whether to get this brilliant iPhone.
Apple has also released a number of accessories to complement the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. Cases, straps for the Apple Watch – including the Hermès collection – and even accessories for the AirTag add to the color changes. Colors with such eye-catching names as Bud Green, Canary Yellow, Olive, Purple Mist, Bright Orange and so on. Colors with which we can combine the yellow of our new iPhone as we consider best.
It is clear that the design of the iPhone is a major selling point and attraction. A design that as we have seen in the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, changes regularly, version to version and that for a few years now adds a unique color for each generation. Subsequently, near the arrival of spring, Apple renews the colors of its accessories and presents a variant that, in this case, is more spring than ever. A phone that, while waiting for new colors for the iPhone 15, from this Friday can be ours and that we will be able to enjoy next March 14.
An extra prize to stay active on International Women's Day with our Apple Watch.
As has become tradition, Apple has announced its next activity challenge for Apple Watch users. This time, on the occasion of International Women’s Day with a challenge that takes place today, March 8. A good opportunity for Apple Watch users to show our support on International Women’s Day and also engage in physical activity and lead a healthy lifestyle at the same time. Or at least distract ourselves while we wait for the new Macs with M3 chips.
The actor has always remained young in our collective imagination, but how would the years suit Tom Holland? An AI has the answer.
Artificial intelligence has already shown us on numerous occasions how other celebrities would look like (for example, Iron Man or Loki). These types of questions that we all ask ourselves all the time now have an immediate answer thanks to tools such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, DALL-E 2 or FaceApp.
Today it’s time to talk about Tom Holland, one of the most popular and beloved actors on the Internet. Although he is now recognized thanks to his role as Spiderman, the truth is that we already knew him at a very young age in J. A. Bayona’s film, The Impossible. The actor has always remained young in the collective imagination, but how would the years suit Tom Holland?
While no one can predict with certainty how Tom Holland will change over time, we can get a rough idea thanks to the use of artificial intelligence. With this technology, we can simulate how celebrities will look as they age.
You’re probably wondering how on earth an AI can guess a person’s future appearance. The truth is, they are the best at it. By analyzing factors such as face shape, wrinkles and expression lines, these algorithms can “predict” what an aging person’s face will look like.
In this case, there’s no need for you to ramble on about what Tom Holland would look like when he’s older. Thanks to the FaceApp application, we have been able to get a rough idea of what he looks like and the result will certainly not leave anyone indifferent. Do you like him better as a young man or in his mature version?
In addition to being an interesting curiosity, this technology may also have its practical applications. For example, plastic surgeons could use AI to perform simulations on their patients. It can also be used in audiovisual productions to see how an actor might look in aging roles.
However, this does not escape the ethical dilemmas that have dogged AIs since their emergence into the mainstream. These types of simulations could also be used for more Machiavellian purposes (harassment, intimidation, etc.), not to mention the much-maligned deepfakes. For the moment, one thing is clear: the main thing must always be to avoid their misuse and to protect people’s rights and privacy first and foremost.
