This website doesn't actually 'contain' information.
it just displays shit you ask for.
It's kind of easier to see with the text version, you enter a piece of text and it 'searches' for it with it's algorithm, which basically just generates shit containing your string, with a couple of filters, like one made of random letters, one made of random english wrods etc.

it's like if you had a the list of 0 to some huge integer, and you searched for 134234124453452352342545 it could find it's position in the list without actually storing every number.

It doesn't HAVE them. That would take a ridiculous amount of data storage. The algorithm is capable of producing them. And if you ask the website if it has a picture, it will produce it as well, by running the algorithm in reverse.

So, theoretically, given enough time, processing power, and data storage, you could run this algorithm until you did produce every single picture ever, including everything you're talking about. But until then, it's just an algorithm.

It is possible that you could be paging through the random images, and come across a picture of you that won't be taken until 20 years from now, but it's highly improbable, you'll only see random arrangements of pixels even if you page through random images all day.

>>24936563
It's a large photo, with each one of the pictures a different color. It is programmed so that every time you scroll to another picture, the pixels are randomized.
This means that there is a (extremely extremely low) chance that you could come across photos of anything you could imagine on here.
You might find a picture of you and a loving gf, you being tortured to death, you eating your favorite food, Donald Trump winning the election, losing it, and so on.
Most likely you'll just get static though.

>there's a picture of you and your waifu on the site

If you scroll in far enough, you see that it's just pixels making gradients of different colors in a random order, so its essentially impossible to see the images that we've been talking about, if I understand this correctly. Which I probably don't.

Yes it does, that's the whole point. That's the appeal. You have to trust that what it's showing you is not generated but stored and that's the "wow" part of it. If it's just generating it then that's not nearly as interesting.

If I input the complete works of shakespeare as text and it shows me, within a massive, massive number of random characters, an exact match to it which was already a part of that sequence before I searched for it, than that's amazing. It must be a massive, unbelievably large database, with more gigabytes than the number of atoms in the universe. If it's just generating it, then it's not nearly the same.
So yes, it makes it much less crazy.

All of this is meaningless, the images aren't permanent but rather randomly generated and unique to you, until you visited the image the image didn't exist.

People clicked on it operating off the assumption that it contained pictures of those things, most likely because it's just a random collection of pixels.
At least that's the assumption I was under when I clicked it.
It's still just as cool now that I know the random pixels aren't already there, but get generated every time I click on it.

Well in theory...it would contain the code for every book written. You just have to wait a really, really long time.

UNLESS you could show that the amount of time required to generate every book written thus far with the random letters was longer than some cosmic time scale, say, the amount of time it takes before the sun encompasses the Earth, or something. Then you actually wouldn't have it, I guess.
I.e. leaving the generator to run for an infinite amount of time actually WOULDN'T create every book ever made, because the generator is on earth and earth would be gone before it does it. That's also possible..

There is nothing stored on this website. If you page through the random images for days on end you will be extremely lucky to see something that might be interpreted as a stick figure. There is an extremely small chance that the algorithm will generate a picture of Gaben's cock, or you with your waifu, but the odds of such are minuscule.

If you take your own image, the algorithm will replicate it, which proves that it was possible for the algorithm to create that picture, but the algorithm only created that picture just then because you introduced it to that picture.

It's an interesting thought experiment, but if you actually understand how it works, it's not amazing at all. It just generates randomly colored pixels.

Are you faggots 14? Because this is the kind of stuff you think about when you're 14.
This isn't an "algorithm" as OP puts it, it's a trivial program that gives every pixel a random RGB value. People write these in their first month of coding. There are hundreds of websites that does this.
These "images" aren't anywhere, it generates one for you whenever you press the button, when you move on it's gone.

What you're saying is that it takes the pixels you search in it and then generates an exact copy of it? So it's not already in the system already, it's just generated based on what you already give it.

No it's not. See: >>24936912
The data required to produce your photo by chance with the algorithm would be so great that the earth would be destroyed before it happens.
So it isn't effective enough to ever actually do it, no matter how you look at it.
You're photo may as well not be there, because it will never be generated randomly by this algorithm unless you prompt it by GIVING IT YOUR PHOTO and then letting it COPY your damn photo, which ruins the whole point that your photo is "generated."
>>
>>24937007
No, it doesn't. Yeah the image search makes a copy of it, by using a reversal of the algorithm that randomly generates pictures.
But I'm talking about the slideshow, in which a picture is randomly generated every time from scratch. It could (incredibly unlikely) generate a picture of your overweight frame posting dumb shit on his computer. That's what's interesting about it.
>>
>go on the universal slideshow

>>
>>24936999
It would take longer than it would take for the earth to be consumed by the sun.
That means it would almost certainly never actually produce it, so saying that a random generator like this will eventually produce all images is false. It WILL be consumed some day and STOP producing images BEFORE every image can be produced.

It takes about three seconds to load a new picture, and would traverse the entire collection in 10^961748 years. The slideshow typically begins at a random point, but you can start from the location of any image by entering its location number, or by following a link from the image search or bookmark pages.

Since it generated it (or has the potential to do so) instead of taking a picture of it, it'd be more akin to drawn stuff than photographs, so in some places there's nothing it could make that would be illegal.
Doesn't matter either way, the likelihood of it making something legally questionable is a bit less than it making anything coherent, which is already negligible.
>>
>>24937102
The interesting thing is that it CAN randomly generate that photo.
You're not using the website correctly. Image search is there to prove that the algorithm can make pictures that look coherent.
Go ahead, upload a photo to it.
The end result will look a little lower quality, but it will still be recognizable.
What it's doing is a reversal of the random generation algorithm, to show you that yes, the random generation can produce pictures that look like that, not just random static, if you bothered to scroll through long enough.

>>
>>24937122
AHA do you see the difference?
If you create a program that randomly gives a single color to each pixel and then run it, it will give a color to each pixel and have some very small chance of producing a picture of you. But there are no pictures of you in there already because there doesn't need to be a database at all for that to work.

MS Paint can draw dots. According to what you're saying, this is just a program that paints dots in no particular order. The number of photos needed to store all photos is too large to exist. Re-read what you wrote and realize that it's not that interesting, it's just random pixels which don't have to be stored or anything.

It's a random generator of pixel colors.
Sure it's way more efficient to fire up MSPaint or Photoshop and make a picture instead of randomly generating one, but there's something interesting about the fact that a photorealistic drawing of any of these crazy things could be generated by a computer.
If you don't see why that could be interesting to some people, you have asperger's.
>>
>>24937146
>someone would traverse the slideshow in 10^961748 years
But that's wrong. That's my entire fucking point. Your universe, ANY universe which contains this machine, this program, will be 100% certainly GONE in that amount of time and we have proven this with physics which contain just as much rigor as the idea that this algorithm works in the first place.

That's statement is objectively false. It relies on false physics, that the number generator will still exist after that many years, which is impossible.
That's why this idea does not hold and it may just as well be Control+Copy Control+Paste.

it uses an algorithm to create every single photo that ever existed and could exist. There's so many photos that you probably will never see anything interesting. But the coll thing about the website is the fact that those photos are on the website.

>>24937289
it is NOT a random pixel generator.
"everything that ever has been or ever could be written. Instead of letters and punctuation marks, the Image Archives permute the 4096 colors, and rather than a page of 40 lines each with 80 characters, the images are pixel grids with 416 rows and 640 columns. It contains every image that ever has been or could be created with this color palette in these dimensions"
It's based on an algorithm that GUARANTEES every possible combination, random pixel generators just make random pixels, they don't operate on an algorithm that generates every single possible combination of pixels and colors.

Sure, but literally any program that puts color on paper has the same likelihood.

If I programmed MS Paint to click to paint one color, then change colors, move one pixel to the right of that first pixel, click again, and repeat until a small image is created (assuming MS Paint could somehow paint that much detail, etc.), it would have the same effect as this algorithm. Just randomly putting color on paper.

The thread in general believes this websites actually has images on it. The thread in general doesn't understand that this is no different from the "infinite potential" contained in a single pencil, or a bunch of multi colored confetti dropped randomly on the floor.

>If you don't see why that could be interesting to some people
This "thought" is just an extension of the infinite monkey theorem. Programs doing this have been around since we've had displays. It's literally an exercise from "my first coding book". The fact that you find this interesting NOW means that you're either like 12 or so fucking stupid you haven't thought of it yet.

That's literally impossible. It's possible to guarentee that ANY possible combination could be created, but a random pixel generator does the exact same thing. To guarentee EVERY is impossible. The generator could not exist by the time EVERY possible combination is generated.

For those who don't get it, the site has 2 Functions:
1. You give it an image, it then replicates your image.

2. You tell it to create a picture, it then randomly colors in pixels in no particular order and shows you the result.

Neither of these are interesting?
You guys are doing the equivalent of looking at a pen and going "YOU COULD WRITE ANYTHING WITH THIS," when in reality the pen has a limited amount of ink. And you guys are still arguing "BUT YOU COULD WRITE ANYTHING WITH THAT LIMITED AMOUNT OF INK."

Almost anything in the world which can be seen has the ability of being able to create an accurate picture of your death, with varying degrees of detail and color.
That's why.

To go a step further, one could argue that everything already IS an accurate picture of your death with varying detail. You just can't make out what the image is for most of them.
With that in mind, if I took a shit right now and showed you, would you recognize that it's an accurate picture of your death? No, because that particular image doesn't have enough detail for you to make out that it is. This is the same as looking at a random group of pixels.

My Point: Every single image in this generator is an accurate image of your death. You just aren't able to see it.

>you'll eventually find a picture of that picture
No you almost certainly won't though, that's the point we're trying to make. The algorithm will, with 100% certainty be long gone before you have even the slightest chance of finding a picture that looks anything at all even remotely close to resembling your picture. That's the point. It's "possible" but the odds are almost 0% and almost anything else in the entire world is more likely. Anything. You are more likely to win the lottery not once but 10^100000 times before finding anything interesting on this site.

Guys, the cool thing about this isn't that it can generate any image. It's that it has a specific point for every single image, even if it doesn't have them in storage.

You could upload a file and it would tell you where the place is, but the cool idea is that the place would be the same whether you uploaded the image or not. It didn't use your image to generate a location, it used you image to search for a location.

The images for everything don't exist on here to say, but the place of them does.
>>
>>24938200
that's pretty amazing
>>
>>24938195
I'm not saying it won't, I'm stating the odds of it happening are less likely than the odds of the earth crumbling from its core right now and then projecting you into a rocket which travels to another planet and then reveals the image to you crafted by alien life forms on a gas cloud there which was waiting for you all along.
That sequence of events happening right this second is far more likely than what you're describing happening.
>>
>>24938250
well that sounds better anyways
>>
>>24938204
No, not really.
It read the image you're saying, then gave each pixel a number, and that number is the location.

I could even more feasibly do the same thing by hand. You give me an image which has 2 pixels, one black and one white. I give the image a location which is binary. Now just imagine the same thing on a larger scale, one that isn't binary. Really fucking simple. You could do it by hand too, in theory, with a microscope and a good grasp of colors.
>>
>>24935495
>uses an algorithm to form every single picture that has ever existed and can ever exist
Not true. It contains every single 416x640 image that has ever existed and can ever exist within a 4096 colors spectrum.

Another interesting thing to note is that it can also generate every possible footage within the specs I mentioned earlier. Think of it as every possible random slideshow sequence. Following that logic it's possible to generate infinite footage of basically anything you can imagine. For instance, it is theoretically possible to watch a slideshow containing a series of images that depict a "CGI animation" of the universe from its beginning (if there is one) to its end (if there is one).
>>
>>24938353
>It contains
It can generate*

My bad.
>>
>>24938353
>>24938374
That's also not true though, which is the point I'm trying to make.

It cannot generate every picture.
That would take longer than the amount of time before the universe would not allow such a generator to still exist, either by the sun consuming the earth or some other means, and this is 100% certain.

So it can generate ANY image, but not EVERY. And that is what makes it no different than a random generator.

To the guy saying >but it gives your picture a special location which is the same every time!
Anyone with a microscope can "read" an image and give it a number based on the combination of colors it seems. That is completely arbitrary and also very simple.

This thing is a random generator at best guys.

yes really, if I knew the location, but never gave it the image, would it still show me my image?

Yes, that's the thing. If you think over the binary for a two pixel black and white image instead of uploading it and then simply enter in the binary location, you still get your image. Therefore, images of things such as JFK's assassination or whatever DO have a real location which, if you had, you would be presented with the image, even if it was never taken in real life.

Think about what you're saying. I know literally nothing about compsci but "hello world," but what you're saying is that if given the location, you could find the image.
That's fine, but you could do that by hand just as easily. If there are X number of colors in the world, and each pixel gets a number 1 through X, then you could create any image given the set of numbers.

It just reads your image, tells you the number for each color at each pixel, and that's your code.

>>
>>24938644
>How long do I have to roll a dice before I get a 4

>>24938644
Theoretically it would most likely never, ever generate a normal picture. This is because the time needed to generate a normal pic is greater than the time before the generator will 100% certainly have disappeared by natural causes of the universe.

So in theory, there is virtually no chance of a normal picture ever being produced.

On the other hand, this: >>24937764
is the flip side of it, which argues that everything is a picture of everything else, just with varying degrees of detail.

So what you're looking at now already is a "normal" picture.

So what are the chances of it actually generating a recognizable image? It's probably something ridiculous like one image every 1 trillion years kek

Like in the future 10^10^10^500 years after the heat death random objects will pop into existence due to quantum fluctuation or some shit

guys why don't we just search from 1-100 and see if we can see anything?

we can assign ourselves to sections of 10

we'd only need 10 people to look at each section (1-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc) to cover the whole 100
>>
Perhaps we can use meme magic to manifest an image, they did experiments where people can manipulate random number generators using intent

Yes, I've seen 57 potential deaths of myself happening in about 17 minutes from now.
In three of them there was a clown holding a different instrument each time. Others were more bizzare; aliens, strangled by hdmi cabe, wii remote shoved through my head etc.

I saw the next 4 actors to play doctor who. none of them were idris elba.

The 4mil get on [s4s] was an impressive sign

I thought of it too when I was in high school and thought I was a genius.

But the problem is it takes as many steps to look for the thing as it does to create it.

The website only makes images. It's unreasonable to think that an image of any kind can drive a man insane, even the most "terrifying" one you can think of.

I think you'd have to sit on this website for years to be given anything more comprehensible than shit like this. Maybe even that long wouldn't be enough

The odds of it spitting out something that even shows you an accurate human or object etc. in of itself is astronomical, let alone situations and context
