Heart breaking, tear jerking, ugh… 😭

I don’t know who that little human being is, but they remind me on the human being i recently lost to cancer. So many chemo patients look alike no matter their age.

OpenAI and Google have not shared their code or made their models available to the public, and external researchers have very little understanding of how these models are trained.
