Here are some AI generated nude portraits I've been working on🍑

Usually the machine just paints people as blobs of flesh with tendrils and limbs randomly growing out - I think it's really surreal. I wonder if that's how machines see us...
the AI *always* paints heads and faces the same way; with this weird yellow/purple texture. Have no idea why, but I like it.
The same woman in two different poses.
Some more nude portraits where the subjects are standing up straight and not total blobs.
things are getting a bit heated 😓

left: the "AI generated" portrait Christie's is auctioning off right now

right: outputs from a neural network I trained and put online *over a year ago*.

Does anyone else care about this? Am I crazy for thinking that they really just used my network and are selling the results?
I've been trying to play it off and spin it positively - when news people have asked me about this event I usually just try and mention actual AI artists and say to check out their work instead, but this is *really* becoming incredibly upsetting.

The Balenciaga AI is getting better! sort of! 🤖👠

Really love the super high shoulders/collar on the left outfit- and the two-tone shoes! Also the right outfit shows it's learning colour coordination to an extent.

Wish it would learn how to make faces that weren't so freaky...
Obviously this stuff isn't ready to take to a seamstress or anything, but I definitely think some of it could be used to augment the creativity of a designer- like in the first image instead of giving that person a bag, the AI just puts a big compartment on the side of her pants.
Interesting colours and patterns...

It's insane to me that there are so many forgotten game maps like this online that haven't been downloaded in ~10 years, just existing, preserved perfectly.

They feel more like physical places than "maps"- I used VR to walk around one and photographed some things there. (Thread)
This is what I mean when I say "photographed" - that's my VR controller
Lots of small details are there, too - the map isn't just a bunch of building exteriors lumped together;

There's full interiors of buildings - here's the shop area and back room of a store that advertised "Cult Cola", haha. Really doubt many people remember this place.

This week @BBCTwo aired a 1 hr program on #AI for #healthcare,
bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b…
produced @teamWingspan @ArchieBaron, moderated by @FryRsquared, & brought to my attention by @pearsekeane. It didn't show in the US, so I am going to review a few key points here
First, the #AI hype from @babylonhealth, a symptom checker, which is a major focus of the documentary. A quote from their CEO:
[No you're not.]
Remember the paper the company posted on their website claiming their #AI it outperformed 7 doctors (and other claims). Well apparently that was submitted to peer-review @TheLancet and here is the preview:

THREAD: There’s lots of talks about artificial intelligence and ethics these days — how to come up with principles for the use of #AI, whether there should be binding laws regulating it or whether broader guidelines could be enough etc pp.
2/ I’d like to point you to an — overlooked, as often — academic paper that came out earlier this month. There’s lots of op-eds and papers written on the topic. No one has the time to read them all (and to be frank, many aren’t worth it.) This one’s different:
3/ The paper’s titled “Constitutional democracy and technology in the age of artificial intelligence” and it’s written by @PaulNemitz , a high-ranking European Commission official who was one of the architects behind Europe’s sweeping privacy law, the GDPR papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Alan Marco: high quality patent has to adhere to patentability standards and claim an appropriate scope.
(Turns out defining a high quality patent isn’t that hard after all.)
Marco: does allowing amendments post-grant create an incentive for applicants to care less about getting a valid patent up front?

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

So I was thinking - for every like this post gets, I’ll do my best to post a bit of trivia about some aspect of my relationship with gender, transitioning, acceptance, etc.
A lot I’d imagine I’ll have to said before, but, y’know… it’s twitter- it’s rain vanishing down a window.
1) I didn’t have the language for it, but I first ‘knew’ I felt wrong ‘being a boy’ at around 5-6 years old.
