    Yesterday I completed 50% of the #30daysofDiffusion goal. I learned a lot, however, it's an information overload as well. I am going to take a couple of weeks' break and then resume. Access all the paper &tweet links here - go.umd.edu/30daysofdiffus… #Diffusion #MachineLearning

    One of my resolutions this year is to read more papers. I decided to read 30 papers on #diffusion models this Jan and do brief tweet threads on them. This is the current schedule. Suggestions are welcome to fill the empty slots! #NewYearResolution #MachineLearning

    ML influencers be like - “my brain is broken from reading this paper” 1) you did not read this paper, you are just copy pasting gpt slop for views 2) your brain was probably broken before otherwise you won’t be posting this shit. #banthetechfluencers
