BLUG Technical/General: Open Source Generative AI Introduction

A light introduction to Generative AI and open source, with interactive text and image experiments!

Generative AI has been a hugely impactful, and controversial, addition to the technology scene, including tools such as ChatGPT and Midjourney. In contrast to last year's AI & Ethics event, this event will be specifically focused on the technical side, filling in some background, as an introduction, and providing some hands-on experimentation with open source tooling.
