From fifty images to five decisions

8 ideas, in order. about 30 minutes of listening. Run a controlled experiment, read an image for failure, and defend the chain in crit.

The route

  1. A picture of a plan is not a plan — A generated plan is a grid of colours and cannot be measured.
  2. Images out of noise — The image has no source, only a process.
  3. Text-to-image vs image-to-image — Choosing between the two modes is really choosing how much of your source to keep.
  4. Conditioning and control inputs — Conditioning separates what you have decided from what you are still exploring.
  5. Iterate like an experiment — A brief revised in five places at once gives you a new result and no knowledge.
  6. Fifty images is gambling — Generating fifty images and selecting the closest one is gambling, not iteration.
  7. Visual forensics — Every generated image is a witness to be cross-examined, not a reference to be trusted.
  8. An honest, strong portfolio — A hidden process reads as deception once discovered, and a shown one reads as authorship.
