AIs named by AIs

Neural networks can be good at naming things, I’ve discovered. Recently I’ve been experimenting with a neural network called GPT-2 [https://aiweirdness.com/post/185085792997/gpt-2-it-cant-resist-a-list], which OpenAI trained on a huge chunk of the internet. Thanks to a colab notebook implementation by Max Woolf [https://github.com/

Once again, a neural net tries to name cats

By Janelle Shane On June 03, 2019 - 3 min read

Last year I trained a neural net to generate new names for kittens [https://aiweirdness.com/post/162396324452/neural-networks-kittens], by giving it a list of over 8,000 existing cat names to imitate. Starting from scratch, with zero knowledge of English or any context for the words and letter combinations

Neural net names effects pedals

By Janelle Shane On May 30, 2019 - 3 min read

Humans have pushed against the perfections of electronics for years. One of the ways they’ve done this is by designing effects pedals meant to distort the sounds of music. The pedals usually have evocative names (“Morley Emerald Echo”, “Happy Snake Lucifuzz Fuzz”, “Lovepedal Purple Pickle Vibe”). I had never

GPT-2: It can’t resist a list

One of my favorite things is to get a neural net to generate a list of things. And one of the best neural nets to subject to that task is GPT-2 [https://aiweirdness.com/post/182824715257/gpt-2-it-learned-on-the-internet], which learned a heck of a lot of things (okay not all of

So the other day I heard from Change.org [http://change.org], a company that lets anyone make an online petition and gather signatures. In over a decade of existence, they’ve hosted about 5 million unique petitions. Some of the petitions are VERY unique - like the ongoing petition

The other day, Katie E. M. tweeted [https://twitter.com/kt_bop/status/1116106321718390790] the following: > Astrophysicists are all like, “ah, yes, this important piece of technology? It’s called the Very Very Very Long Extra Big Spectrometer Device. This other one? We call it NINJATURTLE for short, and

Discount Strong Bad emails

Children of the early 2000s internet (hi!) may remember spending hours watching Strong Bad emails [http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail.html] from homestarrunner.com [http://homestarrunner.com]. They are literally short videos of some guy named Strong Bad checking his email and they are hilarious. Anyway, Strong Bad just emailed this

D&D character bios - now making slightly more sense!

I like training neural networks to generate Dungeons and Dragons stuff because, well, the results are really really weird. To date I’ve generated spells [http://aiweirdness.com/post/165373096197/a-neural-network-learns-to-create-better-dd] , creatures [http://aiweirdness.com/post/172170729017/dungeons-and-dragons-creatures-generated-by] , and character names [http://aiweirdness.com/post/173546448332/dd-character-names-generated-by-a-neural] , thanks to readers

It takes a bot to know one?

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about GPT-2 [http://aiweirdness.com/post/182824715257/gpt-2-it-learned-on-the-internet], a text-generating algorithm whose huge size and long-term analysis abilities mean that it can generate text with an impressive degree of coherence. So impressive, in fact, that its programmers at OpenAI have only released a

In the songs of Barry Sequson, Harry Holness and Alan Emerson the black-capped chickadee competes with others—and climbs on top of each other
