@cassolotl@dev.glitch.social YES. YES ALL OF THIS. YES. the amount of rectocranial inversion going on there makes me want to flop all over a damn fainting couch.
along with a healthy side order of "well if you're so damn smart, go ahead and set up your own damn instance and make people pass an IQ test to join! that sounds *great* to me! let me know when it's up and running so I can BLOCK IT."

@literorrery @Lobst @vahnj @Gaypow okay I want this! link? is it playable? *hopes*

Anyone want to watch a neural network fall flat on its face trying to make knitting patterns?
I just started a new project crowdsourcing knitting patterns. Once I have enough, I'll train a neural net and post the results to a Ravelry thread, asking for opinions on the neural net's progress.

Does anyone want to hear a neural network's attempt to imitate psalms, set to a 4-part harmony version of the Tetris theme and sung by a choir?
