    Slightly offtopic, but made me wonder.

    Can you copywrite things like this now that LLMs exist? I mean, up until now if a small startup has a great idea they will get bought out by big tech which will integrate (or kill) their tech. But now with LLMs can the likes of OpenAI just tell their model to make something that works similar to X (such as this project) and then get round copying laws and negate being behind the curve?

    How well do you think this would work on stock photography on m1 mac with 32GB ram? For example I'd like to be able to search a folder of ~2k photos for houses with palm trees. Or find photos of kitchens, or find photos of desert southwest landscapes.

    would be lovely if picture embeddings were attached to the file by the camera but one can only dream of such futures

    Having built something similar with CLIP on an M1, frame sampling rate is the whole ballgame. One frame a second on 12k videos is days, keyframes only got me to an overnight run.

      Maybe you need a minimal downscale version as well, I heard is very common technique in the video editing world.

      Based on my experience, sampling rate can be tricky if what you are looking for lasted less than interval period.

      Have you tried scene detection? I would guess camera cuts are even less frequent than keyframes.

    possibly off-topic, but for anyone interested in this on a more cross-platform / holistic basis, Immich does this

    (& by "this" I mean an approximate AI search for photos & videos - I can't account for the "every frame", nor for the comparative search quality)

    I like the entire premise, the one thing stopping me from trying this is not knowing the time scales that I will need to set my computer aside for the processing of large folders of video frames, or my photos library's videos, some 12,000 videos

    This is cool. Any way to search for People / faces / pets? Like on iOS?

    How do you do that? What's the architecture? Can you guide on that?
