    S4 is no human, no outfit, but only materials (jewelry itself), it's was unclosed photo than the human shot, so could be different though. Any suggestions for the control setting?

    Yes, it doesn't matter. AIs read the outfit not the materials. It if reads the materials, the price should be the same across S1-S4.

    Really appreciate the perspective. You're spot on that fine jewelry acts as a Veblen good where provenance, branding, and setting drive price far more than raw materials. Where we …

    Thanks! The stimuli images (S1-S4, S4 is unclose though) were specifically shot at 1536px resolution so the chain links, texture, and drop are clearly legible. Appreciate you takin…

    You're right that pricing from raw pixels is noisy! that’s why I included the isolated flatlay (S4 - No human, No outfit, only jewelry itself) as a baseline control! I wasn't testi…

    The real story isn't Vercel. It's that a Context.ai employee got infostealer'd in February and four months later that single compromise propagated through an 'Allow All' Google Wor…
