Nvidia is hoping its latest AI research model will help us one day do away with stock photos (or perhaps bring out our inner artist?). Its still beta (this photo was its interpretation of my text ask 'strong ocean storms') but has potential.The system is designed to translate text into realistic-looking pictures, which can be edited. It combines segmentation mapping, inpainting, and text-to-image generation.https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/research/ai-demos/

Super-seaweed that reduces livestock emissions
The relationship between seaweed and livestock has the potential to seriously reduce emissions in the agriculture sector. A possible Australian breakthrough!Research has shown that it only takes 1% of dried seaweed mixed in to feed to disrupt methane production in ruminants. The seaweed-infused feed can reduce methane emissions from livestock by as much as 98 per cent. Asparagopsis taxiformis, a red algae native to Australia, reacts with vitamin B12 during digestion, effectively removing most of the methane caused by the fermentation of plant matter in the animal’s stomach.https://www.innovationaus.com/finalist-a-super-seaweed-that-reduces-livestock-emissions
