    One that's apparently still topical to kick off.

    I think Deep Dream's fetish for dog faces, appears to be similar to the way we humans tend to conjure up human faces in anything remotely like two eyes.

    Oliver Sacks.

    I managed to set it up using this guy's Docker package (some level of knowing how scripting and command line works is very helpful but I am not hugely deep in those).

    I don't know if you remember Simon Bridges and his hamburger.

    Also a full inception run showing the people with the Pluto/dog memes were right.

    Tiger (original pic by Ali Little) in one of the less dog-prone models.

    A sequence from a cellphone shot of Venus and Jupiter gone wrong that you can follow through to the awful punchline on Twitter.

    Running it really does eat your computing power but it has got me playing with neural networks like a rather cumbersome toy. Currently trying to teach char-rnn to do Parliamentary Questions. A dedicated laptop has been working on this since Friday, though I probably set it up wrong.

    And just a crossover with another project - making very novel cheese that is fairly clearly contaminated but might well still be edible. original

    And just because it's not all animal-faces.

  • James Butler,

    Vice’s Motherboard channel was quick to answer that question

    So this is what porn images look like through mostly animal-trained networks; what I haven't seen yet is a porn-trained network looking at non-porn pics. Cocks everywhere! I'm sure there are legions of volunteers who'd be willing to sit for hours teaching a neural net what is porn and what isn't...

    A few days ago, I glanced out the window and caught both my cats staring at me. I told Twitter, and Twitter (in the person of Ed Abraham) deep-dream-doubled-down on the combined cat creepiness.

    Part of me so-o-o-o wants that tiger in fluoro on black velvet...

    Puts me in mind of Hannah Beehre's latest stellar works!
    talk about 'pining' for black velvet ...

    Shit, I hadn't thought of that. That would be even weirder ...

    All those eyes are creeping me out, but before I decided that I just couldn’t manage any more, I found this fascinating transformation.

    Imagine if these t-shirts ^^ proliferated in the foreground as well…

    Is this dogged persistence of memory…
    not so much the activity of the reptilian back brain
    as machinations of our mammalian cerebral corgitext perhaps? …
    arfy-types as archetypes?

    the program is quick to recognize a “dog.”

    So does this mean Deep Dream knows you are a dog on the internet?

    The eye without eyes, the hundred-headless woman keeps her secret

    Phil Clairmont ... André Breton...

    Funny you should mention Breton,
    I was gonna throw Max Ernst's
    The Hundred Headless Woman into the mix!

    Cerberal hemorrhage, or Doggy Strokes

    machinations of our mammalian cerebral corgitext

    Is this, or the houndbrain, the origin of fuzzy logic?

    I find it remarkably reminiscent of the work of Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526 or 1527 – July 11, 1593)

    More accurately, Deep Dream (if it’s set to look for dogs)
    treats everybody on the internet as a potential dog.
    Then again, it’s unaware of the existence of individuals as such, so
    more accurately still, it treats all input fields as potential dogging sites.
