As I am to turn 18 soon, I imagine myself becoming like the main character (Cary) of “Caridad,” seeing everything as a vector that can be righted into one straightforward beam. I have written the contributions of each of my family members and a friend in a log-style format. Important things to note before reading the log: “Embeddings” are vectors that contain information about a neural network’s “imagining” of something. Of course, a true embedding within a familiar system would have far more numbers that are not intelligible by conscious understanding, much like image-to-caption models such as CLIP or DINOv2. Every image fed to these becomes an embedding, and every caption (excluding DINOv2) becomes an embedding as well. (Really, there are two neural networks working toget...
