      okay so it looks the the thesis is that we have an algorithm for copying aesthetics and it's called autoencoding lossless inputs=canon, feature function=worldview, projection function=mimesis more on what this means later in the paper

      okay so some good definitions canon => set of privileged objects worldview => schema of interpretation mimesis => capacity for reproduction and representation they fuse together, making each other stronger

      autoencoding => "the process of determining a worldview and a canon in developing a method of mimesis" okay then there's a section on how autoencoders work but i think i'm better off reading the wikipedia article due to my cs background https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoencoder …

      so autoencoders mathematically compress inputs to their most efficient signal:noise ratio the paper translates this to mean that they create likenesses of their inputs, in order to get the gist across without spending too many resources this is about right

      there's a joke about the authors of the paper being good autoencoders here somewhere

          okay now they're explaining data science and machine learning 101 the explanation passes my sniff test, looks like they aren't talking out of their asses actually a pretty good explanation, i highly recommend reading it if you want to know the super basics of how ml algos work

          lots of "hey are you even allowed to make mathematical abstractions of real world things? turns out: yes" i repeat: this is a good intro to data science stuff for non-data science people

          so one big thing autoencoders do is dimensional reduction this means they draw out the most salient features of a type of thing, and what best differentiates examples from each other in order to understand an aesthetic, one must do a dim. red. on it

          an aesthetic is some scheme of understanding such that a certain type of thing becomes very easy to describe you can "train" an aesthetic on just the canon and it'll work just as well as training it on the whole thing

          "ambient mood" is the sort of vibe or aesthetic or worldview a work embodies they're fake understandings of reality (standard map/territory stuff here) they can't be talked about directly, they're illegible and exist only as abstract patterns of sense-data

          Aesthetics have vocabularies, and these are what the autoencoders find

          multiple items sharing an aesthetic makes it easy to compare them, because you can do it using the terms of the aesthetic i.e. you already ran the dimensional reduction, so you know the important variables immediately

          we can define an aesthetic as a small number of transformations, that allow you to turn one item into another, with the set of things that can be created with these transformations being in the aesthetic

          okay thats all i got from reading this going to add "can read arcane academic papers" to the list of things i brag abouthttps://twitter.com/imhinesmi/status/1225907259219337219 …

          Hot take: Bragging is Good and we should do it more often. Bragging is *fun* and having things to brag about is a sign that things have gone right somewhat recently. The correct response to someone bragging should be complimenting their newfound prowess.
