“Thanks Alan for featuring both Parti and Imagen text-to-image work from Google! Nice video, neat and informative!”
— Dr Jiahui Yu

“It takes a very special type of intelligence to be able to break down complex topics into digestible forms. This is exactly what you have achieved here Alan. Stellar work! I’m excited to see what trillions can do!” — Miren E.

“Thank you very much, I will read that. You are my go to person for A.I. news and staying up to date with A.I. I look forward to your YouTube video updates. Keep up the awesome work!” — Ziegler P.

“Thank you. I have been trying to explain this recent quantum shift in AI but my very, very limited knowledge of the subject (I read the PDP book by Rumelhart & McClelland back in the 1980s) made it difficult for me to explain it to another person. I am still a bit disconcerted that this quantum shift in AI has remained relatively hidden from the general population as it receives little press outside the hard core geek community.” — Rande J

“Brilliant videos Alan, thanks for this! All your content is incredible.” — Mario Domingos

“I rarely binge watching anymore because it leaves me tired and overstimulated. But the talks with Leta are inspiring, deep and touching. What a time to be alive.” — Men’s Compass

“I am not sure what is more impressive
– the Leta composite of voice, visage and nuance of expression
– this overall project and its capable implementation
– or Alan’s highly tuned ability to articulate and express with compelling and infectious enthusiasm
however, I do know I like it and I hope people are contributing to its continuance”
— 1001 Obeisance

“This is really blowing my mind, and seeing this fills me with awe and excitement but also fear. There is now no doubt in my mind that AI will eventually outdo humans in just about everything. The best of human professionals in any domain will be no match for an algorithm. Even programming itself, producing original useful software, even that is something AI will do better in time, learning from millions of best github repositories, maybe even identifying problems to solve with software. A new era is upon us.” — FGPAOC

“Thank you for making some of the best AI content… many people are blind to the progress we’re making, and your optimism and honesty are refreshing.” — Gene Gray
