New way to encode a profile picture dropped:

320 bits is basically a hash. Small enough to go on chain for every user.

Very cool concept for when high-fidelity is unimportant (which it usually is for images that serve illustrative purposes).

Also, I’d love to see the results of this process being repeated, with 32 tokens sampled from each nth generation, in a game of progressively more hallucinogenic game of Chinese whispers

If you’re intending to show the picture of a particular individual or a news event as it happened, for instance, you don’t want the AI to extrapolate from a minimal baseline, or you’ll end up with something inaccurate and not truthful

What would be a case where that much high fidelity is actually needed?
