Hat is off to Zuck for publicly releasing Llama 3 today.
I've been testing it on my MacBook Pro M1 and so far, I'm impressed.
You can give it a go yourself using Ollama or Misty.
Or meta.ai While the images aren't quite as good as Midjourney's, I like that there is a simple way to animate them.

Meta revenue soars as it pivots to AI and announces dividends for investors
Cash flow beat investor expectations and shares rose as the tech giant authorized a $50bn share buyback programMeta shares soared 15% in after-hours trading following a strong fourth-quarter earnings report released the day after CEO Mark Zuckerberg took a beating in a contentious congressional hearing.
The company also announced it will pay a 50 cent-per-share dividend to investors for the first time, and has authorized a $50bn share buyback program.
Overall, Meta reported fourth-quarter revenue of $40.1bn, beating the predicted $39.18bn and up 25% year-over-year. The report comes as Meta, like many of its big tech peers, is seeking to integrate artificial intelligence tools into its core products. In a statement accompanying the report, Zuckerberg said Meta has “made a lot of progress on our vision for advancing AI and the metaverse”.

A researcher's avatar was sexually assaulted on a metaverse platform owned by Meta, making her the latest victim of sexual abuse on Meta's platforms, watchdog says.
A group of male avatars brought her in a room and suggested she turn off the feature that keeps them four feet then surrounded her. They were passing around a metabottle of metavodka.
The report linked to a video:

If you buy a house, it's called real-estate.
If you buy a house in the metaverse - is it call false-estate?
- even if real as in realty didn't mean it's immovable (not real as in existing/ reality) fake-estate would be funnierkingsteven

Facebook founder and suspected alien Mark Zuckerberg held a virtual all hands meeting for his employees yesterday to explain the company-formerly-known-as-Facebo... updated values.
Most of the values seemed like your typical vacuous, corpo nonsense. However, he did end on a decree that raised a few eyebrows: Meta employees are no longer coworkers — they’re now “metamates.”

Is Metaverse already live?

She said: ‘I entered the Horizon Venues metaverse as an avatar who looked just like me – middle-aged, blonde and dressed in jeans and a long-sleeved top.
‘The space you enter is a lobby, like a theatre foyer. Within 60 seconds, three male avatars – who all had male voices – came towards me and touched me inappropriately.

Meta adds ‘Personal Boundary’ to metaverse after ‘virtual gang rape’
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is adding a feature to combat virtual-reality harassment days after a woman said she was “virtually gang raped” in the company’s metaverse.
“If someone tries to enter your Personal Boundary, the system will halt their forward movement as they reach the boundary,” Meta said. “We believe Personal Boundary is a powerful example of how VR has the potential to help people interact comfortably.”
