THE QUESTION
A photograph holds millions of values. A twenty three brick dog holds twenty three decisions. Everything else gets thrown away, and what survives the throwing away is the part worth arguing about.
WHERE THE AI HAS TO BE
hypothesisTwo of these six steps need a generative model. The rest is ordinary engineering.
the intrinsic AI
WHAT EXISTS TODAY
v1, workingA photo goes in, a studded panel comes out with a parts list and a rough cost. It works. It is also a picture.
the photo
one angle, one side
flat, 224 tiles
built and working
solid, 23 bricks
not built yet
More pieces, less object. The flat version needs ten times the parts to say less than the solid one does, and you cannot pick it up.
WHAT I HAVE FOUND SO FAR
early, incompleteTwo weeks of looking, not a literature review. I have not found photo to buildable model anywhere.
THE QUESTIONS I AM STUCK ON
Pick the one you have something to say about.
FEEDBACK
Six questions, ninety seconds. What you write stays private, only the counts are shown.
01 · YOUR NAME optional, leave blank to be blunt
02 · DID YOU GET IT IN THE FIRST TEN SECONDS?
03 · WHICH QUESTION DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT?
04 · ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY
05 · WOULD YOU BUY THE MISSING BRICKS?
06 · WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO MAKE?
OPTIONAL, IF YOU WORK WITH 3D RECONSTRUCTION OR STRUCTURES
Which half is harder: making it recognisable, or making it stand up?
