AI can also generate coherent completions of photographs
I'd like to see this applied to those photos where Stalin removed his political opponents. Like, remove the person, and then make AI complete the picture, whether the result is better or worse than what humans did.
Dear Daddy,
Merry Christmas! I got you a list of things on the internet I thought you might find interesting. No obligation to look at them. (Many things I’ve enjoyed lately are old or about history, so there’s a good chance that you have seen them or seen much better things, but oh well.)
Lots of love from Katja oxo

I’m pretty impressed at them finding this much data.
On the shortness of life (I enjoyed this, though don’t necessarily agree)
