What is the probability of an image? What do the highest and lowest probability images look like? Do natural images lie on a low-dimensional manifold? In a new preprint with Zahra Kadkhodaie and @eerosim.bsky.social, we develop a novel energy-based model in order to answer these questions: 🧵

And that's a wrap - my narration for Elusive Cures is complete. From that intense read, I saw how personal this book is. It's a science book, but also my own story as a scientist, grappling with some of the biggest questions. And in that pursuit, reconnecting with optimism about our shared future.
