So excited to announce the people from #AInktober week 1 who will be getting an advance copy of my book You Look Like a Thing and I Love You! People interpreted the neural net prompts in so many fantastic ways that it was hard to choose!

In no particular order:
"Half Fake" by @Mgtei
"Bird no. 731. Spoon Creature" by @BirdStrips
"String of Solid Ground" by @BethSkw
"Astral Egg" by @powell_em
"Bone Familiar" by @carohermy
"Tiny Cod Flames Rise" by @SamsonLeisure
Thanks for brightening my life with your drawings! I hope that when you get your copy of the book, mine also make you smile!

There are no rising tiny cod flames, but there IS a murderbot pretending to be a giraffe

#AInktober came about because someone asked me if a neural net could produce #Inktober prompts. It sure can. If you don't mind that the prompts are BIZARRE
My publishers @voraciousbooks and @headlinepg are letting me give away advance copies of my book each week to people (in the US, UK, or Canada) who post #AInktober drawings. I'm so excited to get to do this! And looking forward to what the rest of the month brings!

“Widely accepted ethics and CA state law dictate that consumers have a right to know when they are talking to a nonhuman entity, but disclosures that meet general FTC standards can disrupt the flow of calls and make would-be customers turn cold.” ht @ruchowdh
@ruchowdh Bots should disclose themselves, not just for the sake of the customers, but for the sake of human workers.
@ruchowdh If companies complain that disclosing a bot breaks the flow of conversation, I would argue that those companies aren't good at building bots. There are plenty of fun or unobtrusive ways to let people know they're talking with a bot.

Have you heard of this game where you play as a horrible goose that wreaks mischief on the mild-mannered inhabitants of a small English village?

This neural net certainly hadn't.
aiweirdness.com/post/188214106… to do: pursue the giant bats. goose is pursuing a giant bat
neural net's to-do list is occasionally unsettling.

i'd like to see the halloween expansion pack where you're a horrible goose bothering powerful monsters

neural net attempts to generate to-do list items for Untitled Goose Game. i'd play this version too.

It's #AInktober day 4 and I continue to be amazed at the creative ways that people are interpreting the neural net prompts:
- big witch
- astral egg
- knife-wrestling scream
- cooldown
the details in this one! the sproings of hair! the shine on the popsicle!
i have inspected a few. could this be the ...biggest witch?

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

"The conclusions he reaches are thoughtful, rational, and are some of the most insightful I’ve read in a very long time. Murphy sees things I wish I had seen on my own, and he explains them with clarity, precision, and even kindness."

"If you’re tired of the screeching, bitter partisanship; if you’re unsatisfied with facile and self-serving explanations like “racists did it;” if you want to know how we got here and where we’re going, then “Democrat to Deplorable” is the book to read."
"Highly under-rated. Highly recommended."

Thread: There is a book coming out in May which will open A LOT of people’s eyes to what the Russians have done.

It will be controversial because it’s written by a conservative Russian dissident and it will be used improperly for RW propaganda.

#TrumpRussia
2. Bukovsky is a former Soviet dissident. He was thrown in gulags for years. I reached out to him because of his ties to other Soviet dissidents. vladimirbukovsky.com/judgment-in-mo…
3: Bukovsky tried to run for president against Putin a decade ago.

His book was first published in Russian in 95. Excerpts have been published in English, but the book was never published in English until now - bc it targets American politicians who worked against US interests

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.

Yo my dudes I'm procrastinating on revising my book and my looming deadline so I'm gonna thread again and tell y'all about the invention of kabuki theater because it is #WILD

Let me tell you the story of a woman

and her incredible pants
The place: JAPAN, OBVIOUSLY
The time: THE DAWN OF THE 1600S. The Portuguese had arrived sixty years before, in 1543, and promptly looked around and went "oh my gOD the #AESTHETIC" which blah blah blah eventually led to an outbreak of weeaboos in 18th century Europe BUT IRRELEVANT
Because right as the Portuguese were gawking like unwashed tourists, the Japanese were eyeing them up right back and ALSO going "Oh my god the #aesthetic tho"

and then it was about ECONOMICS 😍 and TRADE EMPIRES 😍😍
