All-Seen project - update
An idea just crossed my mind regarding the All-Seen project.Make it resemble of some kind of project like Seti@home.
The program sits in the background of a users pc, creating the images.
Then the user will be able to see the pictures created, in some sort of gallery, and clicking a "yes" or "no" button, to define whether or not the picture is anything other than noise.
The program then sends the contents of the picture in ASCII format(eg. which colours are used on which pixels) to a main server, where other people check out the 'filtered' images.
Some comments on the project from tempusrob on the project's digg:
Something like this crosses my mind every now and then ... then I do the math and quickly forget about it.
Consider 256x256 pixels, 256 colours. That's 16,777,216 possible combinations. Nevermind computing them all ... who's going to LOOK at them?
Further, there are some mind-boggling implications with doing something like this. By creating every image possible, we're opening up the door to the most absolutely horiffic/funny/scary/etc image anyone has ever seen. I'm of the opinion that there could possibly be images created that would simply drive people out of their minds. It's a scary thought.

We don't have to look at them. Let a machine look at it.. just tell it what to look for. ;)
