Description:

Bonus midweek edition, coming to you as close to LIVE as is humanly possible... Inspired by last week's episode, Seduced By A Robot, I downloaded a neural network and started to play around with it. See what happens when I feed it:

  • The works of Shakespeare
  • My Facebook conversation history
  • A biography of Stalin
  • and, of course, the twitter feed of President Trump

 

The neural network I used was the tensorflow char-rnn - an open-source framework by Chen Liang - and I got the idea from Janelle Shane, who you can find at www.lewisandquark.tumblr.com.  Also: an appeal for listener questions! I want to do a listener questions episode, but to do that, I need... listener questions. Tweet us @physicspod, email us at physicspod@outlook.com. Any question will be considered, no matter how outlandish, and the ones that work out will be featured on a future episode. Here are some ideas:

  • Something you wanted to know about physics
  • Something you wanted to know about seduction (which I achieve masterfully in 100% of cases)
  • Something that's been bothering you in your personal life or in the world at large
  • Hateful abuse phrased as a question

Send them in! And see you Saturday for a regular episode.
