generative ai

Generative AI made the inspired gesture free. Anyone can produce a thousand renders before lunch, and a render is a promise, not a product: you can't snap a JPEG together on your living-room floor.

So the interesting work moved downstream, to verification. On lEgoarCh the diffusion model was the easy half; the real project was the deterministic pass that checked whether the pretty thing was connected, supported, and made of bricks that actually exist.

I use these tools constantly, and I trust them exactly as far as I can check them. My edge was never generating the image. It was being willing to bin a thousand of them.
