Researchers have created an accessible app to navigate the NYC subway. Visually impaired passengers will be able to use their smartphone cameras to read relevant signs and ignore unimportant ones to help them reach their destination. The app is still being tested and currently boasts a high success rate.

The White House has managed to get seven U.S. companies at the forefront of AI technology to agree to voluntary commitments in regards to safety. OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and others will report system vulnerabilities, risks and install digital watermarks on images and texts created by artificial intelligence. Axios has more on what is and what isn't included.

Reddit's third-party apps like Apollo have offered much-needed features to the accessibility community. With the platform's API changes taking place this week, Apollo and some other third-party apps are expected to be a thing of the past. The company says accessibility upgrades are coming July 1st, but is that too late?

I learned how to train LoRa AI models using open source StableDiffusion...

For the purpose of recreating the appearance of my 3D VR roleplaying character the results I got were amazingly good... almost frighteningly so.

I'll go through the process, results and some thoughts.

Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am permanently banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.
