Source finally came forward on that squirrel-slug thing: http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2015/06/inceptionism-going-deeper-into-neural.html

Again, we just start with an existing image and give it to our neural net. We ask the network: "Whatever you see there, I want more of it!" This creates a feedback loop: if a cloud looks a little bit like a bird, the network will make it look more like a bird. This in turn will make the network recognize the bird even more strongly on the next pass and so forth, until a highly detailed bird appears, seemingly out of nowhere.

It says that someone out there seriously thinks that an abused white girl growing up to identify as black and become a teacher and civil rights activist is basically exactly the same thing as a racist mass murderer.

From what I've seen on Facebook, a lot of someones out there.

Stop the world, I want to get off.

I was hoping it was some kind of weird meta-commentary, as in "this is meaningful, but not of anything in particular" sort.

The world needs more of that kind of art.
