I love how using training data from the Internet has resulted in the GANs believing that a picture of a "cat" often contains text -- or, at least, shapes resembling text -- at the top and bottom of the image. (Visible on the right side of the screen starting around 4:20.)

I’ve seen this going around twitter and the video looks cool but I don’t really understand what’s going on. Can someone explain it in layman’s terms?

I thought the cats looked like abominations.

Wonder how long until this is co-opted by the porn industry and what the law will have to say about it. Is it illegal to own a digital brain that can think up illegal porn?

In the us, child pornography with digital actors has already been ruled to be legal.

Interesting. In another 300-500 years, I am pretty sure we will start simulating sensory experience and ultimately the past. I am not sure if I am a toy simulation of the past from the future, right now.

Interesting thought.
