Thanks! Videos is still kinda new to me. But I have a large collection of amazing photos - tens of thousands of RAW images - just lying there spread across the different trip folders.

You know what I REALLY want? Just point this beast at the folders and it tell me which 150 shots are good to process from these 1,500 images. That's the dream!

Although the technology is getting there, it's still a very difficult problem to solve. Taste and art is subjective. Also me as a photographer will always be concerned - "what if my best shot was in one of these rejected shots".

But yeah, I think I'll try to do some more of these experiments soon.

there’s a lot of open models out there… I told Claude to do a weighted score on several models and deduplicate by CLIP similarity for an expedition, should be easy to replicate (see below). Sure doesn’t select the absolute best pics from an emotional impact perspective, but it was pretty damn good at me not having to wade through the bottom 80% of mediocre shots and dupes!

“Models scored all 4,487 photos. NIMA rewards technical craft (sharpness, composition), LAION rewards emotional/aesthetic appeal, MUSIQ is more general quality. Combined: 0.4 NIMA + 0.3 LAION + 0.3 MUSIQ, deduped at 0.85 CLIP similarity.

Interesting: the models wildly disagreed on some shots — one photo ranked NIMA #2 globally but LAION #4313.”
