Spatial apps for exploring ideas

Embeddings raise the possibility of exploring ideas spatially. The central challenge is how to balance between automatically laying out ideas semantically and allowing the user to group or cluster themselves.

User movement mirrors the experience of the best physical brainstorming - cutting up pieces and rearranging, examining, rearranging again.

Embeddings promise automatic clustering and hopefully surfacing new connections.

AI Image Map Brainstorm

Through work, I've been playing with the Gemini model's ability to return bounding boxes for an image. I think I want to try and use it to make some sort of image (sketch or photo) to website generator. Maybe leaning into skeuommorphism of like a photo of a physical desktop that contains all the links to my projects as items on the desk.

A very sketchy proof of concept

Here's a brainstorm:

I made a GIF of running UMAP on the digits dataset, adding one digit into the dataset and retraining each frame. This was probably a weird thing to do but it is helping me to develop more of an intuition of what it's preserving (nearest neighbors) and what is not informative (overall positioning/scale).
