AFAIK Emad Mostaque is not (yet) an AI expert at all, he's a rich guy (former hedge fund manager) building a business that provides the funding for AI experts to do their thing. Stable diffusion itself was built by a team of academics [1], Emad is not a coauthor. Not to take away anything from what he's accomplished -- it's quite incredible -- but it doesn't mean he knows how to (learn to) build AI systems or do AI research himself.
I am not a coauthor but do know a decent amount about AI systems from a maths and computer science degree from Oxford, couple decades coding and being lead architect on https://hai.stanford.edu/watch-caiac amongst other stuff :)
Originally took a break from being a hedge fund manager to build AI lit review systems to investigate ASD etiology for my son along with neurotransmitter pathway analysis to repurpose medication (with medical oversight) to help ameliorate his more severe symptoms.
Had 100% satisfaction from programmers with some math knowledge trying fast.ai and members of team active there, really nice take off point into a massive sector.
It digs nicely into the principles and is not a surface level course. The stable diffusion one will need some good work to get through.
But yeah my job now is to get billions of dollars into open source AI to make the world happier, happy to do my best and let the smart and diligent folk buidl.
Thanks for the response! Sorry for underestimating your background based on what little I had read/heard about you. I appreciate and respect what you're doing.
He is happy now on an n=1 case. Potentiating GABA really helped with him, with other folk it may be balancing glutamate. Our medical system isn't really set up for that which is why I designed and launched CAIAC, it assumes ergodicity in the population while everyone is kinda individual, particularly for these multi-systemic conditions.
Will be aggressively investing in this area and making the output available openly next year after our education launch.
