Fun fact: this is kinda how our brain stores long term episodic memories. We just remember details and recreate it from our understanding of the world.
Also a fun fact: our memories are notoriously inaccurate, untrustworthy, and prone to bias.
that why picture are so good. They contain so much details it help to remind.
So all those people who claim they remember their childhood, are lying?
No, they just have faulty memories of it that are heavily influenced by their later recallings of it. Reminiscing about it often will color it with beliefs and understandings that they didn’t have originally, making them even more inaccurate than more recent ones. For example, my current memories of reading and watching Harry Potter are all sour, even though they were probably quite positive at the time.
On the other hand, if one never actively recalls something, the memory is more likely to be pruned into mere fragments or lost forever. However, having no memory of childhood probably has more to do with the brain actively suppressing conscious recollection.
Regardless, even things we no longer remember still cause ripples in how we think. The memory might be gone, but the understandings and skills we gained still remain. We don’t remember learning to talk, but that time was very influential on how we use language for the rest of our lives.
Super lossy JPEGL
You all don’t understand how high tech this is, this is literally quantum compression. You compress your image, and when you go to uncompress it, the algorithm randomly selects one possible variation of that image from the quantum multiverse and pulls it into your universe! Truly a marvel of engineering!
I’d like to place my head next to a door jamb and have someone slam it closed repeatedly until the latch clicks
From what I can tell this is satirical it seems to have been made sometime today. It was posted on Reddit and Twitter a few hours before it was posted here
Satirical or not, the essence is true of our world.
Assumes position
Proceed with the door slamming.
Fron what I understand, you slamming your head does not fix the AI problem and lends strength to the argument that you might be a robot
There’s only one way to find out.
Computer, riddle me this: How many strawberries are there in “a”?
I once told a waiter what I wanted to eat and their AI in the kitchen was able to produce it beautifully. Just from my prompting!
ok but AI compression is legitimately a thing that has potential because of how extreme the size reduction could be. But yeah it’s definitely no lossless format lol
Imagine replacing detail with the most common thing that mostly fits. Take a picture of a sculpture with a cool texture? Sorry, that’s incredibly hard to specify, but it’s marble so the AI knows to redraw it as a (smooth) marble statue.
Take a picture of your partner’s eyes? Geez, do you know how complex eyes are? Look, I’m not unreasonable, the eyes are sea green in high detail with flecks of brown and a slight shimmer in the bottom right corner. Now you can have a nice compact image of your partner.
Imagine a social media where images look weird and inconsistent unless they conform to conditions that don’t produce hallucinations. Expected textures, expected lighting conditions, expected locations, expected hairstyles and expected facial features.
And yes, I do know AI sharpening is already deployed. Every time I zoom in on pictures I took with my phone I feel grossed out by the hallucinatory soup.
Youtube actually experimented using a neural upscaler on shorts a while back but they got some backlash and reverted it https://www.androidauthority.com/youtube-shorts-upscaling-experiment-3591230/
For text, if you have a decent probability distribution of the next piece of text based on the past context, then you can create a much more efficient encoding, so in that case you can create a good lossless compression
decompression would be terribly slow though, and it doesn’t easily extend to imagesAre people downvoting just because LLM? It’s basic information theory, i’m not suggesting we start using it, it would be slow to the point of uselessness
To be clear I’m not speculating on something that could potentially be cool, this already exists and is improving
Yeah i was just pointing out one case where it can be used for lossless compression, for lossy compression you can use autoencoders and stuff, but they are lossy and less efficient than jpeg and the like
