Adam Berenzweig (@madadam) on deep learning, machine perception, and the future of memory:

Adam reviews the ongoing revolution in machine learning, focusing on neural networks and machine perception, and presents a short early-stage demo of these new tricks applied to images gathered from his daily life. He also discusses what it means to record one’s entire life, the etiquette and ethics around that, who would and would not want to do such a thing, and what it might do to society.
