AI Engine behind Google Image App now open source

UPDATE 7.21.2016: TensorFlow is running away with the developers.

I suspect this is what is making google reverse image search so good.  Good compared to how awful this sort of thing was in past years.

Propaganda warning: This video is pretty obviously being used by google to highlight their "diversity".  I suspect it is overdone in that regard.  I'm not a fan of phonies of which social justice warriors are the worst ever created.

Facial Recognition and Retouching Software

I was impressed by the Youcam Makeup software.  It allows you to fudge with photos.  I think it was primarily intended for women to retouch selfies.  I am sure you like to imagine women retouching their selfies but it is even more fun to alter the photos of your straight male friends who might feel a little less than flamboyant.

I was really hoping I could tranify the doggy too but that was a no go.  Perhaps there are manual settings.  This was done on an Android phone.

  • Youcam Makeup Makeover  appears to be a free app on Android and pay software on desktop.  Not sure of their business model on the free app. Could be doing things you don't like inside your phone.
