Writers of Writers In January, I released my code on GitHub along with a set of trained neural network models: an image captioning model and two poetic language LSTM models.

Adventures in Narrated Reality – Artists and Machine Intelligence

In my GitHub README, I highlighted a few results I felt were particularly strong [1,2,3,4,5]. Unlike prior versions of word.camera that mostly relied on a strong connection between the image and the output, I found that I could still enjoy the result when the image caption was totally incorrect, and there often seemed to be some other accidental (or perhaps slightly-less-than-accidental) element connecting the image to the words. I then shifted my focus to developing a new physical prototype. With the prior version of word.camera, I believed one of the most important parts of the experience was its portability.

Is it associating our urban blight with the Middle Ages because our country is falling apart and looks like something centuries old?” The First Novel Based on the CIA Torture Report Was Written by an Algorithm. ​The Senate's detailed report on the excesses and ineffectuality of the CIA's "enhanced interrogation techniques" has dominated the news cycle.

Rightfully so; the document was a gut-churning reminder of American brutality just past—a slippage towards institutionalized barbarism that most of us are still unsure how to process.
