Neural networks + Kittens = !!! [twitter.com profile] JanelleCShane trains a neural network to produce kitten names for AFK Cat Rescue of Huntsville, AL

In mid-production drama, it turned out the neural network had accidentally been contaminated with "another dataset, a list of character names from Tolkien, George R. R. Martin, C. S. Lewis, Robert E Howard, and Terry Pratchett". Kitten names accepted by the cat rescue included Parihen the Thawk, Snox Boops, and Big Wiggy Bool.

Snox Boop! Those are great cat names, and have the advantage that they aren't some person's name as well. At least, I don't think they are. Well, at least not yet.
