Doing a Halloween party? Need to bring a festive food? Advanced artificial intelligence is here to help. After all, some say that large neural networks like GPT-2 [https://aiweirdness.com/post/185085792997/gpt-2-it-cant-resist-a-list], which trained on huge collections of text from the internet,

Remember a few months ago when I spoke at the 2019 TED conference in April (and kinda used a classic machine learning reward function hack [https://aiweirdness.com/post/184458515782/learning-to-hack-like-a-faulty-ai] on Simone Giertz’s robot workshop)? Well the video is UP! Watch it

Things neural networks are saying about my book

Okay so the above reviews have some subtle clues that they might not have been written by real live humans. In fact, they’re the work of a text-generating neural network that OpenAI trained [https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.01444.pdf] on millions of Amazon reviews. The color of

Halloween costumes by the neural net GPT-2

In my opinion, one of the best applications of neural networks is for generating Halloween costumes. Thanks to a dataset of over 7,100 costumes crowdsourced from readers of this blog, I’ve been able to generate Halloween costumes with progressively more powerful neural networks. In 2017, I used char-
