Yes, I just coined the neologism. It was supposed to be partly sarcastic (why stay at pixels, why not just go fully multimodal and treat the missing channels as missing information?), I am kind of surprised why it got so upvoted.

(IME, often my comments which I think are deep get ignored but silly things, where I was thinking "this is too much trolling or obvious", get upvoted; but don't take it the wrong way, I am flattered you like it.)

Pretending channels can be effectively merged into a single percel vector, that would open up interesting channels beyond human perception even, e.g. lidar. Or it would be interesting to train a model that feels at home in 4D space.

Deep things often, not always, take more attention to appreciate than the superficial. It's a precious resource people are seldom disposed to allocate a lot of when headline-surfing HN.

I think there's a decent chance you may have just created the ideal name for what will become one of the most important concepts ever. Bravo!

Should future attributions in white papers go to js8 from HN?
