This actually makes a big appearance in a Computer Graphics textbook that I'm writing about. The very first runnable program the author teaches you how to make is the Sierpenski Gasket fractal. It's like "hello world" for graphics.

You run it inside his website by visiting the link: http://www.cs.unm.edu/~angel/BOOK/INTERACTIVE_COMPUTER_GRAPHICS/SEVENTH_EDITION/CODE/02/gasket1.html

That one and the rest of his demos in his folder there each get called out in the various chapters of his book and you can inspect the source code if you open DevTools in the Chrome menu. Graphics education is moving to all web friendly stuff.

More cool but scary NN stuff:

Generating an image that tries to match what the person is seeing based on brain activity! The areas of brain that respond to different shapes/contrasts we visually perceive are limited to a relatively clear-cut area (the occipital lobe) and there's some uniformity to how the neurons that respond to certain shapes are located relative to each other, so it makes sense that the neural network is starting to get the hang of figuring out the general shape of the object, while actually giving it identifying features is much less developed. I might be wildly off with this speculation, though.

Here's the same on a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsp1KaM-avU

Yeah, I can see some of the taglines like "Live wolves... dead birthdays?" and "It's the [X] that never dies!" having some Botnik-esque predictive text input in there, but "generated on the fly using top secret code extracted from a decommissioned Scholastic mainframe computer" and the various misspellings of the author's name kind of give things away.

nope, Santa Muerte and the Virgen de Guadalupe

Santo's presence is kind of the only jokey aspect of the religion, the rest is kind of a legit attempt at "Mexican Catholicism after the end of the world and a couple hundred years of cultural telephone-game"

It's pretty easy to determine if supposedly AI generated humor is fake or not:

Is it funny? It's probably real. (Like the aiweirdness Tumblr)

Is it very funny? It's probably "human curated" procgen like Botnik.

Is it not funny? It's probably "I forced a bot to watch 1000 hours of..."

Stumbled to stuff about BigGAN, a neural network that just kind of generates images from other images. Here's a blog post about it: http://aiweirdness.com/post/178619746932/imaginary-worlds-dreamed-by-biggan

I really recommend checking out the blogpost, the generated images are really cool (and often very creepy!)

Does anyone have any ideas for how I could feed a bunch of posts from a particular something awful thread into one of these procedurally generated text dealies?
I had the same idea after mucking around with char-rnn, so I made a simple program that would parse saved html from these forum pages, strip it down to text, simplify it (strip out quotes and everything else until it's just postername followed by the text of their post), then combine them into a text file.

I then took hundreds of pages from a single GBS thread (no prizes for guessing which one), and fed it to char-rnn, here's some sample output:
https://pastebin.com/7FuZRYGm
It's not great but kinda interesting, the poster names seem to all be the actual posters from input - I guess that's because the names were so predictable (in variety and in the spot they appeared in the input) that it just learned them.

The reason I used a single forum thread is because I found it kinda hard to automate ripping this site as a logged in user (because cloudflare kept detecting that I wasn't using real browser - even with user-agent and all headers spoofed), so what I did was pick a large text heavy thread, wrote a simple a script to generate a html page with nothing but links to the pages of that thread, and then "ripped" via manual right-click saving over and over (and it was as tedious as it sounds).
