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?

For those of you who speak Portuguese!
Hey @mikerugnetta , we're a Brazilian channel, greatly inspired by your work at @pbsideachannel. Since 2018 is (a very dramatic) election year here, we were inspired by you to create a playlist about fallacies, to guide the electoral debate! Thanks a lot! youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
