A few scrolls down there is "This video was removed by Youtube for privacy reasons".. does the related image algorithm still use what image was there, for calculating next image?
There is no algorithm, this was done by hand.

#42I predict that someone will make an algorithmic version of this and post it to HN within a month.
Please do!

Urgh... talk about giving tech people a bad reputation as philistines. It's a wonderful, thoughtful project.
It is a wonderful, thoughtful project, but it's an art project. While that's great, I don't come to Hacker News for the latest interesting art project. I think like many people that clicked the link and scrolled through the images, we made the assumption that these were put together using some algorithm that mined Google's 'visually similar' search and then somehow found the best results in order to create a set of i…
There's nothing wrong with interesting art projects on HN. Story diversity is the most important thing to preserve here.

#44This is so cool!

#45This is cool. It could become a great business if there are links to buy those items. Like Amazon's similar items (which is still within Amazon) - this may help several businesses.

#46When I read the title "I'm Google - ..." a very small part of me was really, really excited that maybe, just maybe, some system within Google became self aware, learnt english, and wrote a blog declaring its identity.

Man, you've made my day. I've always imagined the first PR about transient AI as "Dr. has applied for a patent for Y" or "How can Siri answer this, although she only knows that". But the idea of a system becoming transient and Google employees not knowing where it is stored inside their datacenters would be plausible. Assuming AI is possible.
Hopefully the first thing this AI will declare is whether it stores data on its EU server.

#48Here's a statement from the creator: http://dinakelberman.com/imgoogle/imgoogle.html The relevant bit: >Firstly, lots of people ask if it's an algorithm or something. It's not! Just me searchin google. >Secondly, a lot of people assume this blog is therefore made predominantly by using the "visually similar" function on Google Image Search, which is a totally reasonable thing to assume. While I definitely employ that…
I though the image changes felt too intelligent. Thank you for the clarification, Google Skynet is not upon us after all.
Yes, the transition points were so incredible, and downright hilarious. Especially one with an explosion within a TV screen transitioning into actual sets of explosions. Makes a lot of sense now.

#50I'm assuming porn is filtered out. Given that porn represents the vast majority of Internet content, it would be curious to see how quickly a sexually explicit image would pop up, and how funny the connection with the previous non sexual image would be.
i don't think porn constitutes the vast majority of internet content by any means, or even the majority at all.
It seems that according to modern estimates this thing about porn being the greatest part of the Internet is no way close to reality and was more of just a legend that got told over and over and ended up being accepted for truth.
But honestly I myself don't know and can't be bothered to investigate more. I just know there's enough of it :)
