You already know how LLMs work — text into tokens, tokens into math, predict the next one. Image generation uses the same broad ideas but flips the training game: instead of predicting the next token, the model learns to predict and remove noise. Starting from pure static, it chips away — step by step — until a coherent image emerges. What does Michelangelo have to do with any of this? More than you’d think. This is how image diffusion models work, in 20 minutes.

In this episode, we dive into the power of rapid prototyping for Android developers using Kotlin. We explore how this crucial skill can impress stakeholders, accelerate your workflow, and help you stay ahead in today’s fast-paced tech landscape. We’ll cover use cases across scripting, web development (with Ktor & HTMX), mobile apps (Jetpack Compose), and even touch upon how AI is changing the game!
