If only...

When you first encounter diffusion models, you usually see a well formed picture emerge from noise.

And then you realize, there is no reason it shouldn't work for anything where you can add noise to. Which means everything. From picture, to audio to text, to anything encoded in data.

An infinite world of images and human creations in 10GB of weights.

A meaningful universe lost in speckle of dusts.

I remembered the line from the Genesis : "For dust you are and to dust you shall return".

I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

You forgot about constraints, especially cascading ones. Where one detail can shape the whole thing (think shadows and lights location and direction)
