Impressive neural network art/photo blends
« on: Sat, 16 July 2016, 07:59:26 »
So a couple days ago someone on GAF linked to Ostagram, a bootstrapped site that uses an open source neural network image processor named Neural Style.

It's a feed of images processed on the site and it's quite stunning what can be achieved by blending art with photos and all kinds of other input variations.




Based on my own tests with the site the results vary wildly. It really does need a very good pairing of images to get decent results, but when it works it's great.

For new users the wait time is like a minute, at least it was for me, but subsequent images can take anywhere from hours to a day to get processed due to the popularity of the site. A premium tier offers a shorter wait time and larger output image but if you have a Linux box you could set up the CLI version yourself.

Cool. I will try it. The squirrel on fire is awesome.
"However, my view has changed in recent days. Trump’s behavior is so bizarre, so unhinged, and so counter to his short-term interests that the most likely explanation for his actions is that Trump either believes or knows that he is mentioned in the Epstein files in ways that are even more damaging than the blowback he is getting for not releasing the files."

Very cool!
I guess I wouldn't mind wasting half an hour there trying some stuff out. :D

I know a guy that does some petty cool neural network art.

Cool looking dog.



The computer draws way better than you..

If only less of the feed was bad selfies :p In some it's as if you can read the thought process of some choices, like they're trying to genetically engineer a better version of someone.

Saw a few which added two photos of women in bikinis in the hope the output would be like a 'super' pretty version, without realizing it's not a morph tool haha. The result was predictably strange.
