I was just playing around with Teachable Machine, and I found it hard to come up with something cool that I could do with just one hand or no hands (because one hand has to be holding down the webcam button). My first idea was to do hand puppets but I found out most hand puppets require two hands to make the animal, so I decided to do something very simple.

I have 2 classes: one with my hair down, and one with my hair tied back with a ponytail. I kept it simple to train so I could see what it would categorize any gray areas. For example, in the video I tested out one with all my hair down, then my hair moved back without tying it up, using my hand to gather my hair into a ponytail, and then I also tested out how much hair I need to keep in the front to register as class 1. This was a fun and simple experience to do for like 10 minutes!

In the future, AIs will not be built to do the job of their human predecessors, but rather to replicate those functions: self-maintenance, self-adaptation and self-improvement. AI as a ‘service’ will no longer be a means to an end, but an end in itself.

The one prerequisite in an automated economy is that most people understand that they need to create the infrastructure and services for the machines to work. Once this infrastructure is in place, people won’t be burdened with the economic and social consequences.

 

Once upon a time, in the first grade, I loved to play football.
I was what you might call a “red zone” player.
That is, when I got the ball near the goal line, I’d take off running and get into the end zone (hopefully without falling on my face).
Then I would play dead. The point is, that I was one of the stars on the team. Or so I thought.
One day, while I was running my usual touchdown run, an angry red dragon flew out of the fog behind me and smacked me in the head with his tail.

OMG this is so fun! I never used pix2pix before, so I really enjoyed playing around with these. I wished I knew about this when I was little — I definitely would have spent so much time playing with this.

Whenever I can’t think of anything to do, I ‘m always looking for something to do next week. My problem is that when I have ideas, I have a hard time staying awake long enough to sit down and do it. It takes me forever to do anything. I blame the sleep deprivation, and some bad medication. It’s the kind of day that you don’t want to do anything. The sky is cloudy and threatening rain. I think the chances of rain are 50 / 50.

Listen to your friends and listen to them closely. They will tell you what you need to hear. Trust your instinct and if the scene appears to be superficial or it’s just a cop-out, then it’s time to put the brakes on it. This is when you should act prudently. 2. Do not spend your own money on women. It’s a sin. – Paul 3. Do not flirt with all of the women at a club or party. Most men in the U.S. and Europe flirt with at least 10 women at a party or bar. It’s easy to fall into a number of traps here. 4. Do not offer women money, gifts or favors to get a date.

^(what is this result noooooo)

I want chicken for dinner. In – N – Out is closed. The Girl Scouts cookies are nowhere to be found. It’s supposed to snow tonight and my tires on my Tahoe are supposed to be the right size, I need to get new windshield wipers, and we need to start Christmas shopping. And then I got an email from our real estate agent and she says our stuff is DONE! There were a few things that had to be fixed in the house and we didn’t get to sign the lease agreement. Bummer. We will get it tomorrow or Monday. Woo hoo! However,
– I love the energy produced here. Most of these sentences had nothing to do with chicken or dinner but were very entertaining to read! The last “However,” is such a mystery to me; I don’t know how to react to it.
I hate people. It’s like they think if they have an opinion, I have to hear it, and if I don’t agree I have to scream my head off and curse them out and all sorts of shit. It really makes me mad. I actually stopped in at work today because I needed to refill my Dunkin ‘Dogs, and I mentioned to my supervisor that I wasn’t feeling well. And it’s not that I want sympathy, I’m sick of hearing about it. I’m already sick of the flu. If someone is sick, they need to stay home. All the rest of us should have
– First of all, the words generated felt angrier than how I was initially feeling, to be honest. Second, Dunkin ‘Dogs??

I really enjoyed the results of the landscapes, but the process of “general” creation with genes was very enjoyable—seeing how each minor change affects the outcome and trying to put together some logic to it.

“I dreamt* one night that the peaches would come and kill me. I stood in my kitchen, peaches all around me, peaches flying at my head. They clawed at me with their sticky fingers, and drooled all over me. I screamed for help, and my husband came running in, unarmed, not knowing what was going on. I chased him down, and grabbed him by the throat, squeezing. I told him the peaches were coming, and they were going to eat me, and it would all be his fault. I grabbed his hand, and squeezed harder, telling him this time the peaches would really hurt him.”

This was REALLY FUNNY and really clever. I am amazed by the way this AI algorithm maintains meaning and grammatical structure. This story makes sense, it wasn’t like the short film we watched in class where the dialogue was nonsensical! I think out of all the tools I have played with so far, this is my favorite one by far!

“Shakira released Pies Descalzos in 2005 with Daddy Yankee, Wisin, Nicky Jam and Jowell & Randy, a Spanish-language album that was a massive success around the world. The album stayed on the Billboard 200 chart for 120 weeks and was certified 16 times platinum by the RIAA, becoming the best-selling Latin pop album of all time. In 2013, Shakira released El Dorado, which went on to become the highest selling Latin album of all time. On June 3, 2016, Shakira released her ninth studio album El Dorado, with different themes”
In this one I wanted to see how it would deal with legit factual information. As many of you may know, I really like this one album by Shakira. It didn’t do very well this time 🙁

“MANY YEARS LATER as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice. At that time Macondo was a village of twenty adobe houses, built on the bank of a river of clear water that ran along a bed of polished stones, which were white and enormous, like prehistoric eggs. His father bought some bags of ice for their house from a peddler, on a side street with a red-roofed church at the end of it. Aureliano stood in front of the ice chests, looking at his father, who was smiling and pointing to the church. The peddler’s dog was snarling at the collar of the boy’s shirt; Aureliano was afraid of it. His father said, “Eat. There is nothing you can lose.” He took out a handful of change and said, “You must buy something.” The peddler was going to ask him if he had”

In this one I decided to input actual textual information from a famous book, One Hundred Years of Solitude. This one was rather interesting because it actually retained some of the context of the original story! Although this isn’t how the story goes.

“I wish I was a puddle of water, so I don’t have to go to my coding interview. I wish I was back home with my mom so I could eat fried plantains and noodle rice. I wish my parents would understand and support me. I wish I were in class. I was packing my stuff and preparing myself to go to work when the tears came out. “I wish I was back home with my mom so I could eat fried plantains and noodle rice,” I mumbled as I held back the tears. “That’s OK, and guess what? You’ll go back home soon,” a voice told me. I suddenly felt better, and I finished the interview on time.”

LOL. Thank you  algorithm, for giving me advice on reframing the situation.

*this is grammatically correct.
