So excited to announce the people from #AInktober week 2 who will be getting an advance copy of my book You Look Like a Thing and I Love You! It was once again so hard to choose - these neural net-inspired drawings have been absolutely blowing me away.

In no particular order:
"Hidden Old Man" by @JessieMae_P
"Profane Words" by @meteoritesfans
"Holeyfish" by @Cyanoferret
"Forest of Beast" by @robin_elan instagram.com/p/B3QUoN_JVYo/…
"Planetqueen" by @haldane
"Forest of Beast" by @scrappapertiger
I'll be contacting the winners for mailing information! Thank you so much for participating, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what else people draw this month. The response has been so amazing!

Things neural networks are saying about my book!

Generated by a neural net @OpenAI trained on Amazon reviews. Text color is activity level of a neuron they discovered it was using to keep track of the review's sentiment.

(real facts about the book here: janelleshane.com/book-you-look-…) <br /> You Look Like A Thing And I Love You will stay in your cabinet, shelves, and cereal box!<br /> <br /> You Look Like A Thing And I Love You is a book that everyone should add to their collection. Fits beautifully but the pink tends to pitch the iron walls. Would like to be able to bake multiple and have milk sufficiently eaten<br /> <br /> You Look Like A Thing And I Love You is a book that literally took me by surprise. It is funny, intell
@OpenAI Real people are also saying nice things about my book!

So many nice things that my publisher @voraciousbooks added a book jacket to make room for it all!

Which also means there's room for Secret Giraffes inside the cover book jacket of You Look Like a Thing and I Love You
@OpenAI @voraciousbooks “Recommended for anyone who wants to better understand the strengths and limitations of artificial intelligence, but also for anyone who likes watching computers fail hilariously.”

Very effective interactive demo of how human bias in training data affects any algorithm that tries to use it.

Especially in the US, predicting who will commit a crime is not the same as predicting who will be arrested. And here all the AI has is arrest data.
I talk about this example in my book too. Neatly illustrates how if a machine learning algorithm tackles a problem like parole decisions without knowing about the bias in its data (and how can it? it doesn't know what's going on), it'll treat the bias as valid.
One solution to building fairer algorithms is to change the training data to reflect the world as it ought to be - in other words, to debias the data.

Here, one could adjust assuming a fair justice system would have produced equal arrest rates for Black vs white defendants.

So here's how I'm kicking off my time off for the week:

Contributing to EVERY single piece of the Disney+ thread from this morning. Simple thoughts, nothing more, as I go through however many confirmed Day One titles they have.
I am kinda ashamed to admit that I’ve never seen this movie in full. But wouldn’t the plural of “dwarf” be “dwarves”? Why spell it like that?
This one, I haven’t seen in about 16 or 17 years. But I sure do remember VHS trailers for it.

I went to GT Banking hall yesterday, as I was about entering the hall, a lady ran ahead of me and pushed me away so she could quickly join the long queue before I will get to the queue.
I did not say anything, she thought I will queue up behind her but I was actually not there to
deposits, I was there to withdr
So I walked to the POS section and I was the only one there. No single person on the queue.
When I finished withdrawing, I was about leaving the hall, when this lady came from the queue and apologized to me for pushing me away from the line.
With "sorry smile on her face" she said: I am very sorry dear for pushing you away, I thought you were coming to the queue to withdraw..............
I smiled and told her not to bother that it's not a big deal.
Friends believe me I learned a big lesson from that incident.

1] Dear World,
Tonight my heart has broken. As I look through the Twitterverse, I can smell the hated, see the seething self righteousnessof people who no longer have any compassion, dignity, moral compass or love for any human being.
2] The political turmoil in every country around the world is at a fever pitch. Left Vs Right, every shred of common sense, decency and respect afforded to us has been thrown out the widow.
To take a break from the insane world I was viewing, I took a step away & went inside...
3] I went to check on my sleeping boys to ensure they were okay....then it hit me...& it hit me like a sucker punch to the gut. What sort of world were my boys going to inherit, how could they possibly survive the onslaught of everyone telling them what they should be....

1. Love is a subject that every one of us has an opinion on. However our emphasis is on the doing part of Love. #Love
2. The first component of Love is in John 3:16 - for God so love the world that He gave his only begotten Son. #Love
3. To love is to recognize value in someone and to demonstrate that recognition of value. #Love

Once upon a time in Italy ....

A thread
Tomorrow could bring confirmation of a new government between the populist 5 Star movement and the hard right League
Predictably, this has already generated countless headlines warning about evil populists and misinformed voters
