    Trying to find it funny, but in 2026 it’s way too close to the bone and just makes me sad.

      Yeah. I first thought it’s about jpeg, then i read ai and i wasnt sure if its worrying stupidity reporting or bad satire. Edit: i thought '92 i mean

      It’s what Apple and MS basically do by uploading all your images to iCloud and showing the name in your images folder.

      Edit to ask: is this what the human brain does when retrieving a memory?

    Amateur. I can compress entire seasons of a TV series to a few bytes. All I have to do is type its title in Netflix and then BAM, gigabytes of video come out.

      That’s nice, albeit I want to point out for anyone wondering that this is only conjectured and not guaranteed:

      One of the properties that π is conjectured to have is that it is normal, which is to say that its digits are all distributed evenly, with the implication that it is a disjunctive sequence, meaning that all possible finite sequences of digits will be present somewhere in it.

      There is no guarantee for any specific sequence to appear in π, but for short chunks chances are better (it’s not really a probability, but it’s simpler to say and I can’t explain in details anyway). That’s because (from wiki):

      It is widely believed that the (computable) numbers √2, π, and e are normal, but a proof remains elusive.

    brilliant satire that critiques all of magazine journalism.

    i love going to [insert publication here] and reading another article about ‘so and so is ready for their next chapter in life.’ the so and so always an uninteresting, overly wealthy fuckwit that hasn’t accomplished anything other than going to college and having a wealthy parent.

    a typical jpeg of 20 Mb

    Uh what. Literally should be the highest fucking possible quality from a $10K camera if it’s that big. My raw images aren’t even that big usually.

      Its not typical, but you can get 20 Mb+ jpegs out of an entry level 18MP dlsr. Especially if there’s lots of color and at like 5500x3300 resolutions and created with 100% quality preset.
      I checked my immich and I have some (and larger), but yeah, not exactly typical.

        I am not sure I’ve ever used the 100 quality setting on jpegs. Many years ago I experimented with that a lot and decided that anything over 90 was not different to my eye but the file size was much bigger, relatively speaking. So yeah I suppose if you did use 100, a 20 MB jpeg image is not hard to reach.

      Raw images is where you go wrong. You need at least 10 mb of metadata tags to achieve professional levels of file sizes. How can you even look at a picture without having a full description of all your childhood memories that lead you to take this beautiful picture of yesterdays mac’'n’cheese dinner. This is why we need more data centers.

    The sad thing is that this has been possible for decades using convolutional autoencoders, but with LLMs we forgot that AI architectures other than transformers still exist.

      Before you consider using the project, I highly recommend you read and understand the last paragraph of the LICENSE file. If you are seriously considering using it, it will become important.

      This is so funny

      For whoever is wondering, the license is MIT

        And also

        Ironically, aside from the obvious use of LLMs for the actuall project, everything was written by hand. I wanted to use this as a learning opportunity about git filters, so everything you see is my fault.

    Here is another one, no compression:

    • read image
    • send a prompt “regenerate image, here is pixel-by-pixel description”
    • enjoy the result

    All fun and games until you post a story about how clumsy your dad was and now all your photos are updated to show him as just a giant thumb…with thumbs for arms, and legs, and hands and feet, and fingers and toes. Just all thumbs, all the way down. Like tripping on acid with Rita Repulsa.
